RECOMMENDED TODAY Transforming Children Into Spiritual Champions: Why Children Should Be Your Church’s #1 Priority
No one can deny that our culture is opposed to Christian values, and the influences bombarding our children’s moral development can be deadly. But few parents and church leaders realize how critical it is to start developing a child’s biblical worldview in the earliest years of life. The problem is complex: parents who themselves did not receive early spiritual training leave their children’s training to the church. Yet the church often focuses on older children- not realizing that a child’s moral development is set by the age of nine. The answer is for churches to recognize the need to come alongside parents to provide them biblical worldview training, parenting information, etc., that will equip them to help their children become tomorrow’s spiritually mature Church.

Works Well
By Joseph Valentine Dworak
This is a good solid book. Too many churches treat children’s ministry like a babysitting service and an afterthought. I work at a school that provides MA in Children’s and Family ministries and the many many students we have in the program are getting a graduate education in Children’s & Family ministries. They are taking this seriuosly, their churches are taking it seriously, and so is George Barna in this book.There are many stats to back up what he is saying and it is done in plain english. I appreciate the way Barna shares his research and does not seem so profit driven as other Christian writers from big publishing companies.This, is a good book. Every elder in any church that cares should pick this up and give it a look before the church budgets are set for the following year. I highly recommend it. Joseph Dworak

Thoughtful, well-reasoned challenge
By Thomas J
Barna is known for writing books based on superb research – and this one is no exception. Drawing from several national studies conducted among children, as well as others among families and church pastors, this book really challenged me to re-think my own assumptions and behavior regarding the importance of ministry to children. The book was helpful to me personally, not only by giving useful insights into why focusing on substantive ministry to children is so critical – he offers some very eye-opening information in that regard – but also providing specifics on how to reach kids more effectively. The last few chapters outline what churches can do to facilitate parents being more effective and how churches can assist parents rather than replace them. A disturbing book in some ways – the spiritual state of children, as described, is frightening – but a hugely helpful, practical and needed book. Every parent and every pastor should read this one!!!

A must read for parents and children’s workers!
By Timothy McCracken
An excellent book that challenges, encourges parents and churches to partner together to mentor children from the earliest years of their lives. Barna admits that for years his focus, and the churches, has been focused on adults when 80% of decisions for Christ are made before the age of 13. A strong case for churches to rethink where their priorities should be in ministry.
