"Distinctively Christian provides a detailed guide for evaluating current practices, directing change in the classroom and program, and assessing effectiveness. Written specifically for the Christian early educator, guides a program in self-reflection to ascertain its effectiveness in realizing its stated mission, vision, and desired outcomes for the faith development of children. Consider this a necessary field guide to navigate the (often complex) landscape of a child's soul. It's both a reference manual and instructional text; it inspires meaningful action. Dr. Uecker brings the sum of his experience, education, and expertise to this writing as a strategic investment in the next generation."
D’Arcy Maher
Former Editor for Christian Early Education Magazine
Former Director of Early Education Services, ACSI
