Always Becoming, Never Arriving

""As David Mulder notes in his introduction, this book is neither a nuts-and-bolts introduction to teaching nor a philosophical treatise. Instead, this important text provides multiple authentic opportunities for the reader to reflectively consider the vocation and craft of Christian teaching. This book is very readable, and each chapter's content and opening vignettes draw the reader in, challenging them to consider both the simplicity and complexity of the various aspects and dynamics of distinctively Christian education."" --Sean Schat, assistant professor of education, Redeemer University ""Dave Mulder walks the line between teaching and learning better than anyone. His mastery of both sides makes his voice a refreshing one for teacher-educators. His ability to playfully articulate them to others makes Always Becoming, Never Arriving a must-read for preservice teachers."" --Chris Nonhof, associate professor of education and English, Northwestern College ""David Mulder has hit the mark with this work for educators at any point in their career! This book is a must-read for aspiring teachers learning their craft and how to approach the profession from the foundation of their beliefs. At the same time, there is encouragement and wisdom for experienced educators as they strive to teach Christianly. Readers could come back repeatedly and come away with a poignant reminder or a new insight each time."" --Aaron Imig, professor of education, Corban University
