Jim Cockburn spent 37 years of his life in teaching and 21 years as the headteacher of a comprehensive school in north-east England, a career that he loved.

As Jim sought to apply Christian principles to the many challenging situations he encountered as a headteacher, he regularly experienced God's grace and strength. His goal in every situation was to live out the Christian life in a practical way and to share the love of Jesus with others.

This book, in which Jim tells his story and reflects on the significance of events and decisions made, will be of great interest to all Christians in education.
