Controversy Continues To Surround the issue of public prayer—especially in schools. In this issue of the Journal, we'll see how the quiet prayers of individuals can make a major impact on quality education. Contributing Editor Channing Walker takes a look at how prayer, and trust in God, can help parents find the right kind of education for their children. And, looking at education from a teacher's point of view, high-school teacher Barbara Bernheimer and college instructor Barbara Wagstaff share how they listen for, and rely on, God's direction in their work. Also, students tell how God has helped them resolve issues at school.
Other contributions to this issue show how vast the healing power of God is—from the overturning of diagnoses of "attention deficit disorder" in a child, to the full cures of other illnesses supposed to be controllable only through medication. We hope you'll find these articles and testimonies enriching to your ongoing spiritual education.
