Show Them Jesus: Teaching the Gospel to Kids by Jack KlumpenhowerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A wonderful book helping parents and teachers to teach the gospel to kids. Author is himself a layman but has come up with numerous brilliant ideas for communicating Jesus including the God report card. This book will help with
* finding easy ways to get to Jesus from various Bible stories
* setting up a gospel environment (doesn't believe in a rewards system)
* guiding teachers to live by the gospel themselves. He incl many examples from his own life of his idolatry in ministry...sounded like he was talking about me. Very encouraging
* getting to the root of sin beneath the sin
Sometimes I thought his moves to Jesus left room for improvement, but just as many times I was surprised by his insight. Heavy emphasis on grace...something I still struggle with because I think the NT is clear that God's love does change in some way towards us when we sin, etc.
