Leading Children to Faith: A Manual of Effective Christian Education for Contemporary Church and Home School Teachers

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.
