Synopsis

A practical guide for teaching religion to children that connects classroom work to daily life.

The book presents a clear view of the teacher’s role in religious education. It explains how to apply sound educational practices to church classrooms and how to choose Bible material suited to a child’s age and growing understanding. Readers will find guidance on shaping lessons that inspire lasting spiritual growth, while keeping instruction honest, practical, and accessible.

Grounded in concrete examples, the text covers how to build the Bible curriculum around development stages, use story as a central method, and model teaching after effective, real-life classroom practice. It also emphasizes aligning lessons with daily life, so children can translate values and beliefs into action.

• Strategies for matching Bible material to early, middle, and adolescent learners
• Storytelling as a primary method to teach values and faith
• Techniques that connect instruction with conduct, attitudes, and daily life
• A teacher’s continuous development, drawing on classroom practice and method
