About this book

“I’m going to be a brilliant children’s leader. God is lucky to have me!”

Is this you? If so, this isn’t the book for you. But maybe you’re the opposite? You’re a bit nervous about getting involved with children, you've had no formal training and you’re not sure that God can use you to do anything much.

Endorsements

Here is a great book for those working with children. It allows the Bible to shape its thinking whilst being wonderfully practical: this is distilled wisdom from a master-practitioner. There are so many strengths:
• it shows how a Bible passage can be broken down and taught, inspiring confidence to have a go
• the layout is in short, easy-to-read chapters
• the material could easily be used for Sunday School training - there is free team-training material on the Good Book website
• it could be used by any size of church.
I could go on. Suffice to say why not buy it and see for yourself.  I know of nothing better and cannot praise it too highly.

Ian Fry Families pastor and former Director of Youth and Children's Ministry at Oak Hill College

What a joy to find such a short book that packs so much in! From cover to cover, there is everything a new Sunday School leader needs to start thrilling children with Jesus Christ. I will be using this book to train our young leaders, one to one, a chapter at a time. Thank you!

Ed Drew Ministry Director, Faith in Kids; Author, Raising Confident Kids

This book is easy to read, well written, practical, engaging and inspiring. It's
everything I want to say to my teams. The 'prayer pause' takes it from being a
book about learning how to do children's ministry to actually doing children's
ministry straight away!

Jane Watkins Director of Mentoring, Growing Young Disciples

Customer Reviews

5.00 stars I wouldn't want to be without this book

 

This is the book I put into the hands of - or better still read with - our new Sunday school teachers. As well as lots of practical instructions - focus the fun, never just a helper, and how to POP - it works through fundamental issues like the purpose of children's ministry and the role of parents just as new team members are getting going. I wrote a review in 2016 and I see I"m still appreciating this book 9 years later!

5.00 stars I wish I'd read this sooner

 

I have been working in children's ministry for 6 years now. A friend lent me this book and it was so good that I've now bought my own copy. I wish I'd read it sooner.
It is a quick, simple and very clear book to read. It won't take much time to read it, but it was a very thorough, practical and helpful reminder of how to do things better. I would love all our church volunteers who help with children to read this.

5.00 stars Essential book for all in children's ministry

 

(Review written for 'Starting out in Children's Ministry (ebook)')

This book addresses the essential things everyone involved in ministry to children need to know. Practical and structured in a way that helps teams to go through the book together or an individual work through it on their own.
