Summary: A Wonderful Daily Devotional For Christian Teachers
Review: "One Heart At A Time," is a series of daily devotional readings -- each one featuring Scripture, real-life stories, practical application, and prayer. After every five weekday readings, Caruana includes a special section for journaling and prayer: "Weekend Words To Prepare Your Heart."

On every page Caruana challenges, encourages, and inspires us as teachers to live up to our high and holy calling. In the introduction, she writes, "If only we could get into their hearts! That's what I used to think would really make the difference with my students. What I realized is that getting to the heart is what makes the difference for all of us. Education reform is only as effective as the teachers charged with its implementation. Unfortunately, many of us are already discouraged and brokenhearted over what our jobs have become. It is less about teaching our students and more about policy. But we can reach and teach our students if we first allow God to do a healing work in our own hearts... Take time either before your day begins or at its end to meditate on God's truth. Renewal happens step by step and one heart at a time. Let the Holy Spirit open the eyes of your heart so that you can then open the eyes of the hearts and minds of your students. We can make a difference -- one heart at a time!"
