"""As a former board member, I can testify that most parents, students, and even teachers struggle to articulate the mission of Christian schooling. This book provides the basic understanding that we all need: a readable summary of the worldview-oriented approach that has shaped Christian schools for several decades--an approach that, with ongoing refinement, can help us to 'excel still more' at helping students to flourish as God's image-bearers."" --Daniel J. Treier, professor of theology, Wheaton College ""Tom Stoner's 'idea' of Christian schooling begins by stating an immediate goal (enabling children to flourish), explains how it can be implemented (providing a unified life-vision based on Christian faith and values), and ends with the ultimate goal (bringing glory to the living God). With welcome realism alongside insights gained from hard-won experience, the book shows convincingly how combining academic training, Christian perspective, and spiritual formation in a supportive school environment can make the 'idea' become a reality."" --Mark Noll, author of Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind"
