The Wounded Spirit

Following up on my post about Anti-bulling....
At a previous school EVERY teacher was given the audiobiography by Frank Peretti The Wounded Spirit (updated as No More Bullies: For Those Who Wound or Are Wounded) for summer reading. Then during August inservice we were shown a very powerful, moving movie narrated by Peretti. That school started a big anti-bullying campaign. BULLYING WAS NOT TOLLERATED. I admire the administration taking a stand. Students were shown the movie and relationships improved quickly. Focus on the Family's website tells the part of the story. Yet I recommend that book for everyone who works with children, and young people. More folks need to be aware of this issue... pass the word.
