Book excerpt: Using everyday items such as balloons, flashlights, and bubble gum, Bucky Dann -- a pastor popular with both children and adults -- demonstrates in 51 simple lessons how children can begin to understand the teachings of Jesus, Bible truths, and even the meaning of atonement and discipleship. In each practical sermon suggestion, Dann includes a Biblical text, an outline of the theme, a list of needed materials, a statement of goals, and techniques for teaching. He examines how children held a special place in Jesus' own ministry, how children are the future of the church, and how the childhood years are the most formative for establishing beliefs. Invaluable for pastors, church school teachers, and others who work with children, this unique and creative book offers effective ways to make children a vital part of the worship and ministry of the church.
