This is a very special book about the relationship between persons and vocations. It bridges old gaps between the technical side of professions and worldviews. Remarkable also is that it allows educators to bridge gaps between those modules treating worldviews, spirituality, and ethics and those oriented toward practice and skills. Commonly, such courses appear not to touch each other. The result is that the student may fail to integrate these different types of knowledge in practice. Anyone unwilling to accept this situation does well to read this book. It takes some effort, but this effort pays off. --Peter Blokhuis Professor of Philosophy, Chair of the Department of Journalism, Christelijke Hogeschool Ede University of Applied Science, Ede, the Netherlands It is my express wish that many colleagues in higher education will become acquainted with this book, so that our young generation may increasingly become more proficient in maintaining their posture as Christians in the often complex professional context. --Kees Boele President Christelijke Hogeschool Ede University of Applied Science, Ede, the Netherlands Bridging the gap between aspiration and application, Practice and Profile provides a very useful model for designing, implementing, and assessing a worldview and values-driven model of professional conduct and competency. Centered around the core question of how we can help students become fully committed, faithful persons in a specific professional, moral practice, the PISA model is comprehensive in scope and draws from a broad range of tested ideas in educational theory, vocational development, spiritual formation, and ethics. Thoughtful, encouraging, and challenging, this model is worthy of careful consideration. --Ken Bussema Vice President for Student Programs Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, Washington, DC
