Customer Reviews

Easy, Enjoyable and Effective!

Captivating Children's Sermons is exactly what you need if you are looking for ideas that are fun, age-appropriate, engaging and spiritually relevant to children. It's full of object-lessons and anecdotes that help me easily present important spiritual principles in ways that all children can understand and enjoy. My personal favorite sermon is "Bugs in the Bible" - about how the Bible is full of fun stories. The children in our ministry love this stuff!

Solid lessons

I believe this book contains solid lessons to craft a ministry around. This was a must read for me for many reasons. If I were to build a children's ministry from the ground up I would have this book in my arsenal.
