In schools, how can you show that you are Christian, without saying a word? How to Be a Christian in Public Schools is a thoughtful and practical guide for educators, parents, and school staff who want to live out their Christian faith with integrity, respect, and purpose. Drawing from her experience as a public-school teacher, Mara Gobernatz offers heartfelt encouragement and strategies for reflecting Christ through actions, as opposed to words. This book addresses the often-unspoken challenge of honoring one's faith in a secular environment. Rather than focusing on evangelism, it focuses on modeling Christlike qualities such as love, humility, teamwork, hospitality, prayer, and self-care. Each chapter combines personal stories, biblical wisdom, and reflection questions that invite readers to examine how they serve, lead, and love others in their schools. What makes this book unique is its gentle, inclusive tone. It empowers readers to be a light in their school communities without violating boundaries or imposing beliefs. Readers will walk away with renewed confidence, practical tools, and understanding of how to quietly, powerfully represent Christ in everyday interactions. Perfect for Christian educators, staff, or small group studies, this book offers a fresh, gracefilled perspective on faith in public education.
