Chapter 12 by Dr. Wesley Joseph Mills:

"The Spirit of Teaching as a Dialogue of Learning, Living, and Loving"

A discussion of teaching as an art, more than a science, that integrates knowledge and know-how in communicating and sharing with others.  It is advanced that teaching is largely communicative and intuitive and, as such, constitutes a dialogue between teacher and learner.  Such dialogue rests with an imaginative connection being made between the learning context and content.  The goal of teaching and learning, in this respect, is identified as transformation, not just information, and analogy is affirmed as central to the approach for such transformation, as teachers and learners move from the known to the new.

The book is available from Amazon and other online book distributors.
