School governance matters. A school's governance model determines the answer to three critical questions: How does the school identify and protect its foundational beliefs? How does the school develop and promote it vision and mission? How does the school identify the roles of those in authority, determine the process for decision making, and ensure accountability? This book introduces, describes, and advocates for the mission-directed governance model. This model has been effective in helping leaders of Christian schools more effectively address organization, purpose, and priority through an organizational structure that will challenge familiar traditions and culture; liberate and motivate leaders, faculty and staff, and reduce internal conflicts and politics. Under the mission-directed governance model the school will be encouraged to define its ideals and to more consciously focus and coordinate every aspect of the organization toward accomplishing its mission and vision while holding fast to its essential positions of faith and philosophy.

Too often, teachers feel ill-equipped to present a compelling, integrated biblical worldview. In Undivided: Developing a Worldview Approach to Biblical Integration, Dr. Martha E. MacCullough identifies the prominent worldviews in our culture and presents a model for biblical integration that fosters worldview thinking in teachers and students and can be used even by teachers with no formal biblical training. 
Students today are surrounded by competing and contradictory worldviews. They look to their teachers for guidance, but too often, teachers feel ill-equipped to present a compelling and integrated biblical worldview leaving students with splintered perspectives that separate secular from sacred. 
Through strategic curriculum design and committed biblical study, teachers at any level, kindergarten through college, can develop wholehearted students who think and act out of a biblical worldview in life and learning.
