8Polishing the Apple is a collection of teacher devotions useful for personal study or staff training. The devotions offer practical guidelines for applying scriptural principles in resolving conflict and improving school relationships. They are both instructional and inspirational to encourage teachers and equip them to respond to the common conflicts experienced in the classroom. Teachers, administrators, and staff can use these devotions for guidance in handling professional, academic and personal conflicts in a manner that pleases God and builds Christian character. A subject cross-reference index is included to identify devotions that address specific topics. Some of the subjects included are discipline, coworkers, bully, leaders, parents, mockers, forgiveness, heart issues, wisdom, put-downs, conflict, and many more. Selected devotions from Polishing the Apple were initially made available to educators worldwide on www.teacherdevotion.com. The book is now available for purchase in print and e-book.
