Show Them Jesus: Teaching the Gospel to Kids

Millions of 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 Christ, we may miss our opportunity to capture their hearts. But what does it look like to teach a gospel-centred lesson? Show Them Jesus is an instruction manual for 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 teachers to do nothing less than teach and treasure the good news of Jesus in every lesson.
