Heart and Mind: What the Bible Says About Learning by Beechick, Ruth - 2004

Fenton, MI: Mott Media. New with no dust jacket. 2004. Later Printing. Paperback. 183 pages; Dr. Beechick has written using the most complete research available about heart as it's used in the Bible and how it relates to the brain. She also reports the physiological research that supports the Biblical view. All of this information is important in teaching and learning processes, because the heart is important in learning. Secular learning theories view man as simply a body that learns by seeing, hearing, and using the other senses without a "heart" to act upon the sensory stimulation. Dr. Beechick explains the secular learning theories and then compares them to the Biblical view of learning. This book is useful for anyone training to be a teacher at home or in some field of Christian education, and will also be useful to parents, who are always the first teachers of a child .
