This book explores the problems and possiblities uncovered by the Effective Christian Education study conducted by Search Institute. Written for pastors and Christian education leaders in congregation, the book expands on the survey's findings, presenting new information and analysis, and placing the study in the context of other recent thinking about Christian education. It also contains worksheets and checklists to be used in evaluating a congregation's educational programs; charts and graphs that interpret data effectively; and a faith-maturity index to diagnose the educational competence of a congregation.
