{"product_id":"john-baptist-de-la-salle-carl-koch-9780809141623","title":"John Baptist de la Salle: The Spirituality of Christian Education","description":"This volume in the Classics of Western Spirituality makes available to a broad readership a selection of the core writings of John Baptist de La Salle (1651-1719), a French priest and educator who changed the face of education in his time and whose reforms continue to influence the ways we educate our children today. Born to a wealthy family, de La Salle turned his attention early on to the education of the poor and the marginalized and, at the same time, unwittingly founded a new type of religious community: Brothers who were teachers and active religious. Through his dedication to the vocation of teaching, de La Salle instituted several procedures that are still in practice in public and parochial institutions. --student cooperative learning --tuition-free attendance --involvement of parents --student service and ownership De La Salle's spirituality for educators, which melds prayer and action, compassion and practicality, can be read afresh in every age: it transcends time and place. +\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Koch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0809141620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809141623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paulist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.86h x 6.10w x 0.73d","brand":"Carl Koch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46172944564479,"sku":"9780809141623","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31562a43-2875-4e9e-9134-b73f4a236640.jpg?v=1727179547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-baptist-de-la-salle-carl-koch-9780809141623","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
