Parker Palmer offers a sensitive and brilliant critique of the tendency to use education as a tool for mastery, manipulation, and control, instead of a way to form relationship and respect. I admire Parker's depth and personal honesty. (

I read this for a seminary course on Christian Education. I know many people who love Parker Palmer's writing and the book has gotten great reviews here. He does have important things to say about education and community, but to me it felt like he's heavy on the aphorisms and a little light on the spirituality. (
