For the month of February, the LDS Living Book Club will be studying and reading Teaching with Power: Drawing Your Family and Others to Christ from renowned author Brother Tad R. Callister and his wife Kathryn S. Callister.

We know that Jesus Christ is the Master Teacher, and we have been commanded to follow His example, acquiring not only His attributes but also His teaching skills. As we do so, we invite the Spirit into our lives in the fullest measure possible. In their new book, the Callisters explain that the goal of every gospel teacher is much more than giving a masterful lesson or an entertaining, never-to-be forgotten presentation; it is to make our students better—to inspire them to become more like Christ.

In studying this book together, our goal—for you as our Book Club friends and for the staff here at LDS Living—is to become more effective teachers by helping those we teach become converted disciples of Jesus Christ.

• An easy-to-follow reading schedule
• Excerpts from the book shared on LDSLiving.com
• Poignant quotes and discussion of the topics addressed in the book

Each month we choose a new book to read together. Joining is easy! Simply follow @ldslivingbookclub on Instagram for reading reminders and insights.

Teaching with Power

Jesus Christ is the Master Teacher, and we have been commanded to follow His example, acquiring not only His attributes but also His teaching skills. As we do so, we invite the Spirit into our lives in the fullest measure possible. In Teaching with Power, beloved author Tad R. Callister and his wife, Kathy, explain that the goal of every gospel teacher is much more than giving a masterful lesson or an entertaining, never-to-beforgotten presentation; it is to make our students better—to inspire them to become more like Christ. When we understand this purpose, then the questions we ask, the discussions we lead, and the invitations we extend will all be designed to further this objective. This book will help you more effectively meet the true goal of teaching: helping those we teach become converted disciples of Jesus Christ.
