Not overly sold on the lessons themselves, but they are by no means inadequate. What I love is the solid and diversified reading list, in a sense truly educating the educator before the educatin', if you catch my drift. A unique and informing addition even for those studying Christian education in a formal context.

I have been enjoying this series since Logos and Liberty University made it available for students. Dr. Peterson is awesome. I think I even noticed him smile once on one of the videos! Seriously, this is a blessing for all who want to learn about Christian Education.
