Doug Whitener is a veteran educator. His book, while written with many anecdotes from his career in education, is very applicable for parents as well. Over the course of his career he has seen many trends and fads come in and out of vogue. His book resonates with practical ideas and strategies for helping parents/teachers guide children through the often traumatic events of childhood, with the goal of becoming self-aware, responsible adults. The book draws from a wealth of child development and educational theorists, which is to be expected. What is exceptional, is how Mr. Whitener filters all of the theory and philosophy through decades of experience. The stories he shares of his experiences helps to make the theoretical, practical. I strongly recommend this book for any adult who finds themselves in a place of leadership with children. Whether at home, school, church, or club - all will benefit from the lessons covered in I Saw an Angel.....
