Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, Inspiring,.. Fabulous!!!, April 26, 2007

By	K. Conley "Kenny Conley" (Keller, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can think of only one word to sum up what I thought of this book: Fabulous!

Honestly. Last week someone on my staff gave me this book. Although I have a creative streak, usually my administrative tendencies crowd out that part of my personality. Knowing that Willow Creek highly values and usually sets the standard on using the "arts" in ministry... I initially wasn't interested. I figured this would be a book I would skim. No, really. Any book that is purposelyfilled with funny and wierd sketches on almost every page is enough to make we want to sit in front of CSPAN all day. I think my deal was that I just don't like using drama and arts in the context of children's ministry because from my experience, it is usually crappy! So, I wasn't really interested.

That very night I was up late doing some work. It was 1:00 AM (yes, I don't have kids yet) and I wasn't quite ready to turn in for the night, so I pulled out this book. Finally at 3:30 AM I put the book down because I knew I was going to be trashed the next day if I didn't get at least 4 hours of sleep. One word... AMAZING! Totally not what I expected. Yes, the book is full of information about drama and the arts... but it's so much more than that. Simply put, it's completely about the most important part of what I do every weekend, the 20 to 25 minutes when I take God's word and give it to the kids who attend my service. This book is about maximizing that time, ensuring that it is a moment that will stick with them for longer than 20 minutes after they leave. Never have I read a book like this. It's theoretical, it's practical and man is it funny. I caught myself laughing out loud time and time again. Aaron (the author) has definitely been there and done that as I identified with many of the moments us children's ministers live on a regular basis.

Content covers everything from setting a stage, great prop ideas, lighting secrets, rehearsal plans, critique forms, sound ideas and so much more. As a speaker who constantly wants to get better, Arron gave me great new ideas of what to do with my hands, where to be when I'm making my big point, and what to do when those infamous 5th grade boys start a secret conversation of their own in the back. If that weren't enough, Aaron filled the pages with examples that he's used that put you right there in the middle of the application. He's also included a huge appendix filled with great resources so that I can do what he wrote about.

I just finished reading this book. I plan to read it again next week. Yesterday I bought 15 more for my staff and some key leaders. If you work with elementary kids (preschool too... there's a great section on preschool programming), you must have this book. Read it, soak it in and then put it into practice. I feel that this book will be one of the most influential books in the children's ministry at my church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aaron Reynolds ROCKS!!!, December 8, 2007

By	Jill "Jill@SimpleDailyRecipes.com" (Sulphur Springs, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

Aaron Reynolds has a great passion for helping kids apply God's Word to their lives. I had the wonderful opportunity to sit in on two of his children's ministry workshops, hosted my Willow Creek Community Church. Every time I have applied his techniques to my teaching, the kids LOVE IT! They hang on the edge of their seats, they don't interrupt, they're completely quiet, ready to participate on my signal. I don't have to stop teaching to tell someone to pay attention, not anymore! I have used Reynolds techniques on small and very large groups of kids, the results are the same...TOTALLY AWESOME!

Aaron's teaching style is unforgettable! And now, he's put it in a book for us to look on time and time again.
I highly recommend reading The Fabulous Reinvention of Sunday School for EVERYONE who teaches preschool to elementary age kids.

Reynolds techniques can be applied to teaching any subject, as well as God's Word. If you want the lessons to stick and have an audience that hangs on to the very end...you need this book. The kids will love you for it! They will remember what you taught them long after you will. Be prepared for kids to come up to you asking you about a lesson you taught two months ago. It really happens, trust me.
