"I begin with an admission. I'm not as good a teacher as either David or Shannon Lamb. Some of the teaching methods they discover in the Gospels appear in my classrooms; some don't. I wish more did. If I were a young teacher, this book is the one I would want. I'm not. So I will recommend it to others. In the teaching time left for me, I will do my best to teach more like the Jesus that Shannon and Dave bring into the classroom."

Scot McKnight, visiting professor at Houston Theological Seminary and Westminster Theological Centre

"How we teach should demand our time and attention as much as what we teach—and David and Shannon Lamb make a compelling case for it. This book literally practices what it preaches, and in doing so, can transform the way you communicate. Teach Like Jesus is an accessible, valuable, and field-tested book that will make you rethink your preparation and delivery. If you teach the Bible regularly—in a classroom, with a small group, from the pulpit, or among friends—this is a wonderful addition to your shelf."

J.R. Briggs, author of The Art of Asking Better Questions and founding director of Kairos Partnerships

"David and Shannon Lamb have worked together and separately for years. They have worked in student contexts, seminary contexts, and church contexts, and they have worked in the United States, Africa, and Asia. They have worked with me in various ways, and I have learned from them. I know they are, between themselves, silly and reflective, as this book says (I didn't invent this assessment). They know what teaching and learning are about, and anybody involved in teaching is bound to learn from this book. It's easy and fun to read and monumentally challenging to put into practice, but it will be worth it."

John Goldingay, senior professor at Fuller Theological Seminary and author of The Old Testament for Every Preacher
