Hearts in the Hallways: 70 Devotions for Teachers Who Shape the Future is a heartfelt and empowering devotional book created specifically for educators. Through 70 short, inspiring entries, this devotional offers encouragement, spiritual renewal, and hope for teachers navigating the daily challenges and triumphs of the classroom. Each devotion combines Scripture, real-life teaching reflections, and prayer, reminding educators of their profound calling and eternal impact.

Whether facing burnout, celebrating student growth, or seeking strength for another Monday, Hearts in the Hallways speaks directly to the teacher’s heart. It highlights the unseen moments of compassion, perseverance, and love that truly shape the future—one student at a time.

But this devotional is not just for classroom teachers. Its words resonate deeply with anyone who invests in the lives of children—parents guiding little hearts at home, foster parents loving children through the challenges of change, child care workers nurturing young minds, grandparents pouring wisdom into a new generation, and all who work or play regularly with kids. Each reflection offers universal truths and encouragement for those seeking to model Christlike love, patience, and grace to children in their care.

Perfect for daily reading or as a thoughtful gift, this book is a reminder that teachers—and all who shape young lives—are never alone in their work. With God’s guidance and grace, they are building more than academic knowledge—they are cultivating hearts and changing lives.

 

Reviewer’s comments:

 

For teachers, parents, and leaders of all kinds, these devotions will lift you up, inspire you, empathize with your daily struggles and encourage you and ask you to trust God, to let Him lead you, comfort you on trying days when they don’t go as expected. Teachers, and that’s any kind of teacher or leader, are seed planters, and this devotional is about planting seeds of not just education but confidence, character, kindness, training, and trusting God to manifest it into abundance in those whom the seed is planted. It encourages the reader/educator/leader to reflect on the day and on your career journey and embrace this important calling that God has given you and know that even when it might seem daunting, that days, or weeks, maybe even years down the road, a portion of what you say will be remembered. Highly recommend this devotional to educators, leaders, ministry leaders, Sunday school teachers, parents, and those who want to make a difference in someone else’s life.
