Synopsis

Millions of Christian church kids are growing up and deciding to leave the church. They listened attentively in Sunday school, made friends, and seemed committed. But one day, they quit. What happened? The Bible says we love God because he first loved us. So if we are not primarily teaching our kids about God's love for us in Jesus Christ, we may miss our opportunity to capture their hearts. But what does it look like to teach a gospel-centered lesson?

Show Them Jesus is an instruction manual for Christian teachers of kids and teens written by a lay Bible teacher with 30 years experience. With a simple framework and lots of real-life examples, Klumpenhower's book helps teachers to identify and communicate the heart of the gospel to each child in each lesson. Conventional wisdom says, Make class more fun! Or just, Make it easier! But Show Them Jesus challenges the culture of low-stakes, low-expectations teaching and invites teachers to do nothing less than teach and treasure the good news of Jesus Christ and Christianity in every lesson.

Show Them Jesus's how-to approach will compliment and enrich existing lessons or teaching materials and is appropriate for teachers of children and teens in any setting.

The first audience are Sunday school teachers, but its treasures can hugely profit the parents, too.

This book is a must read for any Sunday school teacher, camp counselor, or parent. Essentially anyone who might at some point is teaching the Bible. The author gives clear examples of how to teach Jesus throughout all of scripture making him the focus even when it might seem difficult or “out of pla......more
