While the book is written from within a broad Christian tradition, it owes a large amount to the Salesian tradition of St John Bosco, for whom loving kindness was the main focus of his work with marginalised young people in nineteenth century Turin.

Every teacher, working vocationally in the field of education , is looking for buried treasure. The teacher will unearth the strands of God's spirit that point to a loving presence in the heart of each person, hidden in relationships, and in the gifts of colleagues and pupils. In tantrums and in tragedies, in celebrations and in shared silence, the same spirit of loving kindness will emerge, slipping in and out of the focus of our poor spiritual sight.
