Education for Life
Preparing Children to Meet the Challenges

by J. Donald Walters.
214 pages, $14.95

“The title of this book can be understood in two ways, both of them intentionally so. Primarily, my purpose has been to recommend a system of education that will prepare children for meeting life’s challenges, and not only fit them for employment or for intellectual pursuits. I have also wanted, however, to help the reader to see the whole of life, beyond the years spent in school, as education.

For if indeed, as most people deeply believe, life has purpose and meaning, then its goal must be to educate us ever-more fully to that meaning. And the true goal of the education we receive during our school years must be to help prepare us for that lifelong learning process.” (from the preface of the book)

“Mr. Walters’ recommendations for educating youth are sound and solid. His ‘tools of maturity’ provide an excellent basis for a curriculum that prepares children for dealing with life’s challenges. . . . I enjoyed reading the book and will certainly recommend it.”
