Synopsis

Imagine a roomful of kids on Sunday absolutely enraptured by dynamic Bible teaching. Here and there a mouth hangs open as the kids engage the story of Boaz and Ruth with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for their new Xbox 360. Isn’t that what you want as a Sunday school teacher? You long to reach your kids on Sunday in a way that actually makes a difference in their lives on Monday. But how? A new book of crafts and activities? Nope. Fifty new conversation starters for kids and leaders? Nuh uh. One more booklet of reproducible coloring sheets? Don’t even. How about a book jam-packed with techniques and creative methods that lead to truly transformational teaching ... the kind that leaves kids living life differently on Monday as a result of their time with you on Sunday. The Fabulous Reinvention of Sunday School is an indispensable guidebook to transformational teaching in children’s ministries of every size and setting. Create excellence for kids through four ministry-rocking values. Unleash fabulous and powerful techniques that lead to unforgettable teaching moments. Consult a veritable handbook of twenty creative methods that bring any Bible story to life. Designed with whimsical quirkiness and written with humor and passion, this book will transform the way you—and your kids—experience the life-changing potential of Sunday school.

Review:

'For church leaders intent on making the most of the Sunday school hour for children, this book presents a step-by-step guide to bringing the style back to weekend kids programming....Reynolds offers some 80 pages of ideas for creatively teaching the Bible to kids. Ideas are always good -- and Reynolds' suggestions are great. From audience participation (kinesthetic), to video clips (visual), his ideas may provide a shot in the arm for many children's programs in search of new life. Those who stand to gain the most from a read of this book are leaders overseeing Sunday schools and volunteers themselves....' (Church Central)
