Download or read book Leading Children to Faith A Manual of Effective Christian Education for Contemporary Church and Home School Teachers written by George Herbert Betts and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When leading children to an abiding faith in Jesus Christ, it is not enough to know what to teach. One must also know how to teach, using materials and techniques which, at every stage of a child's development, respect the maturity, emotional needs and varied learning styles of our children. There is no substitute for mastery of the teaching process. Prayerful consecration cannot take its place. Ready command of the methods of teaching, on the other hand, is in no sense equivalent to having been "called" or "chosen" to teach religion. The two must go hand in hand. LEADING CHILDREN TO FAITH: A MANUAL OF EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR CONTEMPORARY CHURCH AND HOME SCHOOL TEACHERS offers an exceptional opportunity to become a more effective Christian educator, applying the best educational science to the problems of religious instruction, without for a moment forgetting that a vital religious experience is the final goal of all teaching.

Download or read book Teaching Kids Authentic Worship written by Kathleen Chapman and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many children, as adoring fans, can rattle off all the stats and facts and details about their favorite singer or sports star. Wouldn't it be great if they knew that much about God and were as excited about him? In Teaching Kids Authentic Worship, Kathleen Chapman gives an eye-opening lesson on how worship can spark that kind of enthusiasm. She begins with what it means to truly worship-to focus on God alone. At its core, she says, worship is our recognition of the greatness of God. It is a kind of glue that will effectively lead children into a greater, more permanent love relationship with Jesus. With a contagious enthusiasm of her own, Chapman moves from the "what" of worship to the "how." She includes fifty-two worship moments that help children-and adults-focus exclusively on God and learn about him. These creative moments take the form of singing, hand movements, dance, crafts, games, writing, drama, and more. Teaching Kids Authentic Worship is a necessary resource for every Sunday school teacher, children's church leader, and parent who wants to guide children in making God their greatest hero and lifelong friend.
