If you are teacher, youth pastor, parent, small group leader this book is perfect for you.  This book has incredible content on sexuality, body, soul and spirit.  It will really impact the people you are teaching to.  It's really clear, filled with interactive questions and examples.  I highly recommend this book, it's a powerful teaching guide that will impact many.

The book is amazing.  It brings a whole new light to practical situation.  I've grown because of the four agreements. It's basically teaching you that everything does not center around you. Loved it! This would be a life changing gift.

I am a Pre-School Teacher, so this book has had hundreds of reviews in my classroom. This is a book that children never tire of hearing. It speaks to the heart of both children and adults. I wore out a paperback that I had stumbled across, and had to have this in a hardback that would withstand the use it gets. I love it! It brings the class together, talking about their dreams. Each one feeling a part of the whole class. Just like Mr. Pinkwater, we can all problem solve in our own way. Bravo Mr. Pinkwater, and your neighborhood of friends.

I gave this 5 stars because I told the author I would, but it is true, it is an amazing book, that you, YES YOU THE ONE READING THE REVEIW SHOULD GET IT RIGHT NOW AND READ IT, because it is amazing. The photos are amazing, they show so much detail. AMAZING book.
5 stars out of 5 stars.

This has changed my teaching in a great way. It has inspired me to teach reading better, and my students read more for it. This is a must-read. It is written in a very engaging way, and I read the book in a day or two. Plus have read it several times after for refreshers and further implementation in my classroom.

I am a teacher. I know the power of good books and the freedom that learning to read can give you I loved this book and would recommend it to every person who has a love for learning and a love of teaching

This book will be my most treasured companion as I return to the classroom this fall. It should be required reading for every teacher. It is beautiful, inspirational and informative. It will remind you how much you love sharing books and learning with children. It will connect you with those moments when you became a reader and a teacher. First I needed kleenex and then I started going through my children's book collection and writing lesson plans. Thank you, Lester.

"Giving Wings to Children's Dreams" is a wonderful book!  It has made me cry a couple of times...laugh a couple of times...rue that I did not continue teaching several times...and wish that I could start all over again in a classroom.

I never thought that I would do anything except teach.  I loved teaching high school, I loved the kids in the classroom, I loved the kids out of the classroom...I was a damn good teacher!  But, in a city that pays garbage collectors (who must have an 8th grade education) a higher starting salary than starting teachers...you begin to notice the lack of respect and lack of support.  It finally became just too much and drove me to resign after 19 years.  I'll never forget the last time I walked out of the school.  I sat in my car in the parking lot and cried for a very long time.

I now make a lot more money...but feel a lot less joy.  Since I believe that after parents, teachers are the most important people in our children's lives...it is very sad.  And I don't mean it's sad for me.  I mean it's sad for our children.  I wish this book had been written and seriously considered by those who call themselves "educators" many years ago. It is too late for me; but, perhaps, it is not too late for the children!

I'm still reading this book, but what I'm learning from it is extraordinary.  I strongly recommend this book, especially if you are a student of observation, rather than reiteration.

I have been a student of this book since 1987 and have found it to be one of the most valuable spiritual books I've even come across.  I use this book daily and continue to learn from it.  This is a must read for someone looking for lessons in practical Christianity.  I give high praise to this book.  There are many reasons it's been available to the public since 1890ish.

I had the first edition of this book. I've read it, referenced it, and loaned it so many times that it is falling apart. So I ordered a second copy.  As both a mother and a teacher this book is invaluable. It is my number one suggestion to new teachers.

This book without a doubt, is the best "professional development" teaching book I have ever read. (And I read a lot!) It is a no-nonsense guide to effective teaching. She bases her book on the "Optimal Learning Model" which is basically a method of teaching that emphasizes the release of responsibility in an effective way (I do it, We do it, We do it, We do it, You do it). I have sticky note tabs on practically every page and I have underlined and written notes all over the poor book. I know for a fact that this book will improve my teaching. I can't wait to get started and try out some of her methods. This book has found a permanent place in my classroom where I can always access it.

Received it 2 days ago and I completed Lesson 1, So far this book is AMAZING... I never read a book like this before, It is truly a must read for anyone who is looking to understand who Jesus was as a person and for your faith to grow more with each lesson...
