Description
THE SCHOOL ON FIRE
Book summary
This book is not a standard manual, but an invitation to rethink educational ministry from a place of closeness and heart. Fernando Donaire proposes a model for a Catholic school that burns from within, one that illuminates and transforms. Through a direct conversation with the reader, the work explores how to communicate, share, and accompany within the school environment, uniting love and custom as Saint Teresa taught. A passionate reflection on the future of Catholic education, which includes a bibliography and filmography for further study.
What is it about?
