Charles Spurgeon believed that the most important mission field in the world was right in front of us-in the hearts and minds of children. In Come Ye Children, originally published in 1897, Spurgeon offers a passionate plea to parents, teachers, and church leaders to prioritize the spiritual formation of the next generation.
Now, in this modern English edition, Ryan Frank brings Spurgeon's powerful message into the 21st century. With updated language and fresh reflections at the end of each chapter, Ryan helps today's readers rediscover the urgency and beauty of children's ministry. Whether you're a parent seeking wisdom, a volunteer looking for inspiration, or a pastor wanting to strengthen your ministry to kids, this book will encourage and equip you for the journey.
You'll be reminded that children's ministry is not childcare-it's discipleship. You'll be challenged to see your role in shaping young lives through the lens of eternity. And you'll be comforted knowing you're not alone in the calling.
Let this book stir your heart, sharpen your vision, and renew your passion for reaching kids with the love of Jesus. The work is holy. The mission is clear. And the time is now.
Let's keep going-together.
