The manual Teaching is the Savior's Way is a good start but the curriculum manuals for gospel doctrine class need to be revised and updated. The manuals date back to the 1990's and not much has changed since. They are pretty rote and if followed directly, go counter productive to the new manual just released. I hope they do get replaced with something more in line with the new direction the Sunday School is heading.

The new direction of Church education is thrilling! The "Teaching in the Savior's Way" videos are simply marvelous!
My only misgiving is that there were a very few topics in Teaching: No Greater Call that should have been carried over, but were not. Examples would be Teaching Eye To Eye, and the power of love in dealing with difficult class members. We need not—we should not let that great teaching resource go into oblivion.
My poignant hope too, is that we carefully safeguard our Church curriculum from the use of faddish philosophies put forth in the writings of some LDS authors whose books have found a place in LDS book stores. All that glitters is not gold; our doctrine must be kept pure.
