In The Joy of Teaching, formerly "Teaching of Eucharist," Joanmarie Smith unveils a spirituality of teaching that truly is "food for the way." Of all the compelling images we might associate with our vocation of teaching, the author invites us to see teaching as our ministry of "sacred service for the people of God." More specifically, she takes us on an inner journey to recognize our teaching as a form of Eucharist, and boldly asserts that as in the action of the Eucharist, we who teach are called to take, thank, bless, break, and give. -from foreword by Gloria Durka
