She was a missionary teacher for twenty years under the Presbyterian Church
USA and vocational and program agencies. From 1974 to 1978 she was a
Nursing Instructor at the University of Azarabadegan in Iran and from 1978
to 1988 she was a Christian Education Teacher at Maridi Teacher Training
Institute and the first American woman to become Chair at their Department
of Religion.

Marjorie White, a missionary teacher for over twenty years, has written this
book at the request of missionary schools who want to train educators to serve in
Muslim countries. The book covers the personal perspectives and experiences in
Iran during her time of service and her own perspectives on relating to those of
the Muslim religion that she learned from interaction with her Muslim students,
friends and co-workers.
The books of Moses were the only text that she was allowed to use in her
religious education classes in both Sudan and Iran and this presentation is fairly
representative of what she taught. Parts of this book are devoted to her use of
the new teaching technique of using literary methods to teach science and other
non-literary subjects. This book is timely, as it addresses today's new interest in
teaching Bible truths throughout school curriculum.
