“The Seven Laws of the Teacher by Dr. Howard Hendricks”
Introduction:
When I looked at the book, at first glance, I notice that it wasn’t interesting. I was a bit hesitant to pore over the pages thinking that it’ll be a waste of my time, because for sure, no literary work from the “obsolete corner” of the library fits my taste except that of C.S. Lewis. But nevertheless, I knew I have to, so I flipped the pages lest I will end up guessing the time I start the reflection. I decided not to jump over the foreword, but to my chagrin it didn’t convince me much to pursue my reading; perhaps only a little bit, because the foreword was from Bruce Wilkinson. Meanwhile, as I pore further, I got on to the real thing then my senses lit up - the taste wasn’t that bad. The book I thought was no worthwhile, but by the time I got into it, I sensed the need, and a distinct voluptuousness in reading. As a result, it only took me one and a half day to accomplish my pursuit.
The statements I had written below are in a concise form perpetuating my caustic insights from what I gleaned so far about the matter and the manner of teaching. I chose not to give an opinion or reflection on every principle, instead I ponder upon which I think is helpful and significant to me, so to lessen my burdens of thinking what to write.
Real thing: To start this over with, I would like to confess that throughout the course I have failed to notice such principles that I have now put such a great importance in my life. Perhaps, the reason was me – my character. I’m afraid I had become adept of shutting ¾ of my entire senses from minor courses (non-biblical). And for this reason, I regret so much of passing by very relevant lessons but learning fewer than what I should have. I did not expect that the book will convince me to appreciate the principles of teaching, and its significant relationship from where I’m at. The essence of the book met me down to my
