The concept of "heart-deep teaching and learning" is based on a Hebrew understanding of the "heart" as the innermost essence of a person that involves the mind, emotions, and will. When the heart is engaged by the power of the Holy Spirit within the context of God's Word, both character and behavioral changes occur. For parents and teachers, a book that actively engages the Bible student and his mind, will and body, establishing a higher standard of teaching and learning firmly rooted in both Scripture and current educational research.
