 PrintableVersion Big truths for young heartsEven a child could understandBIG TRUTHS FOR YOUNG HEARTS If I said I’d like to encourage you to teach doctrine to your children, I wonder if a shiver would go down your spine? I’m guessing you wouldn’t really know where to start... Well, this book points you in the right direction! ‘Imagine a respected theologian devoting himself to training a new generation of pastors and scholars in the seminary classroom. Now imagine him driving home at night to teach that profound theology in simple terms to his children at their bedsides. Now imagine this father compiling those bedside conversations into a book available to all pastors, parents, and children alike. Imagine no more…!’ (C.J. Mahaney). This book can be used with very small children with modification and dipped into at all different levels of school age. It would also be great for teenagers to read to help clarify their thinking. Parents (especially dads) were Dr. Ware’s main target audience and this book is a tool to help them in their teaching task, and it certainly will. But it would also be a great resource for those young in the Christian faith (adults), pastors, children’s and youth workers, parents and grandparents. You will probably learn lots yourself as you use it! As a schools worker I now have it as a reference tool to help when I’m asked tricky questions, e.g. the Trinity! Listen to an interview with Dr. Ware on Albert Mohler Radio Program. The interview starts about ten minutes into the show. Download audio file AMP_05_19_2009. mp3. This will give a really good flavour of this great resource and the wider issues around teaching children spiritual truths. Heather Stephens, © Evangelicals Now - April 2010 |
