Educating All God's Children Paperback - 2013

From the rear cover

There are sixteen million children growing up in poverty in America. They have the same God-given potential as children in wealthier communities, but on average they achieve at significantly lower levels. Education expert Nicole Baker Fulgham explores what Christians can--and should--do to champion urgently needed reform and improve our public schools.

"A compelling call to a new generation of Christians to fight poverty and injustice through committing themselves to education. Nicole Baker Fulgham is a leader who gives me hope for the future of the church and for educational equality in America. Her passion and dedication to her faith and to tackling one of the greatest challenges of our time is clear on every page. Anyone looking for a practical and faithful means of changing the world should read this book at once."
--Jim Wallis, president, Sojourners; author of The (Un)Common Good: How the Gospel Brings Hope to a World Divided

"A powerful, engaging book about one of the most urgent challenges facing our nation today. Combining moving stories with solid data, Educating All God's Children is a ringing challenge to provide quality education for all our children. Excellent."
--Ronald J. Sider, president emeritus, Evangelicals for Social Action

"Educating All God's Children stands as a justice manifesto on behalf of millions who stand crippled by the epidemic of educational disparity. This book serves as a clarion call for the church of Jesus Christ to rise with a prophetic and moral imperative to reform our public schools."
--Samuel Rodriguez, president, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Hispanic Evangelical Association

"Nicole Baker Fulgham weaves personal experience, national statistics, educational theory, biblical teaching, and practical examples into a compelling call to transform public schools from worst to first. Everyone who cares about America's children must read this book."
--Leith Anderson, president, National Association of Evangelicals
