Telling Hands and Teaching Feet

British-born author Carole Ferch-Johnson developed a love for Scripture and pursued its study over many years. Her education included B.A. (German Major and Religion Minor), Pacific Union College, Angwin, CA; M.A. (Religion), Andrews University, Berrien Springs, MI and PhD (with a thesis that forms the substance of this book), Avondale College, Cooranbong, NSW, Australia. A career in the people-helping professions, including pastoral counselling and hospital chaplaincy helped increase her interest in a better understanding of how the principles of the Bible might be brought to bear on human relationships. On the basis that effective communication is a core skill for relating positively and nonverbal communication is demonstrated repeatedly in the pages of Scripture, the themes for this book came into being and were developed from an academic perspective
