This book describes a wonderful approach to the Sunday morning children's time in church. It's simply the best resource I know.The author describes how we can meet children where they are and engage them so they become part of the story. This is not about object lessons. The book also includes a number of excellent stories that I have used with great success with groups of 3 kids or 30 kids.More importantly, it inspired me to new creativity and effectiveness in my brief time with children each Sunday.
Excellent resource for sermons for all ages
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The basis of the sermons in this book is that people learn best by doing, rather than by being talked at. The sermons are intended for children, but some may be applicable to all ages. They might be considered more like activities than sermons. This book is not 'how to' or theoretical. It is practical, detailed activities for teaching the Bible to children by engaging them in activities through which they will feel what the biblical characters felt. While the book provides details for the conduct of the activities, you must be flexible when dealing with children because they will not always follow the 'plan' for the activity! This is an excellent resource for anyone teaching Christianity to children of any age.
