Book Review 1 – Children’s Ministry in the 21st Century
OK – I did it. I finished the book ahead of schedule. Of course, it helped I had already read all but the last few chapters. Anyway, I have to say this book pushed me to think about what we do in church, not just in children’s ministry but in church.
A lot of what I read was information our senior pastor has been encouraging us in for a while – stop doing church like it’s always been done; nothing in life is being done the way it has always been done! This book challenges you to not only look at what is taking place in the “church world” but what is taking place in the “real world”. If we can’t relate to people why are they going to think our God can relate to them.
It’s time to think outside the box of the 4 walls of our church and see the bigger picture of life and how it relates to children that come through our doors on Sunday morning. This is a great read for anyone in children’s ministry whether you have been serving for 2 months or 20 years.
