EXPRESSING LIFE is a Primer on integrating faith and learning. It provides a high-level view that motivates anyone engaged or interested in Christian education. It explains the true partnership we have with God in helping people find God holistically through teaching and learning. All truth comes from God, so curiosity and learning characterize the pathway back to God in fresh and formative ways. The Church and the Academy truly are on mission together!
“In this reflection on faith and learning, Dr. Mannoia captures the essence of what makes Christian education so impactful. When done well, faculty and their students embark on a mutual journey of discovery that draws both parties closer to God. Dr. Mannoia’s admonition to think deeply about the revealed truths underlying one’s discipline is a reminder that to be truly transformational, education must be more than practical or useful-it must be holistic, virtuous, and redemptive.”

Masterful living is living a life that is full of the Master, that is, God, who is by nature holy. Learn how God can transform you—not through a list of do’s and don’ts, not through trying harder or ramping up your level of religious activity. The transformation begins within you, extending outward from the center of your life through transformed character, responsible engagement, healthy relationships, wise decisions, an integrated life, a purposeful heart, servant leadership, meaningful work, curious thinking, and a restored self.
Does the concept of holiness hold any relevance for Christians in the twenty-first century? Or is it rather a relic of the past, with little to offer in today’s postmodern world?

¿Qué es Vida Plena? Es una obra de arte que abre una ventana a la naturaleza del artista. Esta se encarna y se convierte en una extensión de su creador. Eres la obra de arte de Dios. Puedes transformarte en la imagen del Maestro al llenarte de la naturaleza de Dios. No a través de una lista de lo que se debe y no se debe hacer. No esforzándome más. Ni siquiera durante toda una vida de actividad religiosa. La Vida Plena es una vida santa porque estás lleno del Maestro, que es santo. ¡Empiece una Vida Plena ahora!
