Temptations of Christians the anthology, practical handbook for teachers
How can literature help students wrestle with faith, choices, consequences, and redemption in today’s world?
Teaching TEMPTATIONS OF CHRISTIANS: The Anthology is a practical classroom handbook designed to help teachers, professors, discussion leaders, and facilitators guide meaningful conversations through contemporary Christian short stories, poems, and reflection prompts inspired by the Sermon on the Mount.
Created for high school, college, Bible college, church study groups, and adult learners, this companion resource provides step-by-step lesson ideas that connect literary analysis with personal reflection, critical thinking, creative writing, and faith-centered discussion.
Inside this handbook, educators will discover:
• Literary analysis lessons using characterization, conflict, symbolism, setting, and theme
• Creative writing prompts and workshop strategies
• Oral presentation and collaborative discussion activities
• Formative and summative assessment ideas
• Rubrics and classroom-ready teaching tools
• Reflection opportunities connecting literature and Scripture
• Guidance for helping students explore moral choices, temptation, grace, and spiritual growth
Whether used in English Language Arts classrooms, Bible college electives, homeschool settings, church workshops, or book discussion groups, this handbook equips educators to inspire thoughtful reading, meaningful writing, and deeper conversations about faith and life.
One story. One poem. One conversation at a time.
Experience Poems and Pictures
Experience Poems and Pictures: Poetry That Paints / Pictures That Speak is a creative conversation between poetry and visual art. Educator-author Anna J. Small Roseboro—National Board Certified Teacher and National Writing Project Fellow—joins artist and photographer Nancy White to invite readers into a reflective journey where words and images illuminate one another. Roseboro’s poems give voice to memory, learning, faith, and everyday experience, while White’s paintings and photographs deepen the meaning through visual storytelling. Together they demonstrate how poetry and art can inspire readers to observe more closely, think more deeply, and respond creatively to the world around them.
Note that the REflections section of the book is in four different languages: English, French,German and Spanish to offer opportunities for those who speak and those learning the language to use the prompts to write about the pictures and create art inspired by the poems and pictures this creative pair of educators offers

Client Testimonials
" As a teacher educator, I look for any help that I can find for my future language arts middle school teachers. After reading Teaching Middle School Language Arts by Anna J. Roseboro, I realized that my search has ended. This book is everything I could possibly hope for in a text for future middle school language arts teachers as well as veterans. This is a comprehensive text. It covers almost everything a teacher could imagine as part of a language arts middle school curriculum. This book has a friendly personal voice. Roseboro's teaching experiences are documented throughout. You will find the author in this text.”
" Getting Started: A Path to Success to Teaching English to Middle School Students and Beyond is a valuable resource for anyone entering education in a nontraditional manner . . . Anyone working with preservice teachers (or seeking middle school certification) will find Getting Started an appropriate choice because it presents an overview of teaching in middle school.”
