Almost Everything I Need to Know about God: I Learned in Sunday School.

Sharing God's Word with children can be the most spiritually satisfying experience of your life. But if you've never taught kids before the prospect can be terrifying! Let Elmer Towns put your fears to rest as you read through 24 "bite-sized" topics covering everything from motivation to gifting to teaching methods! This easy-to-read book will inspire Sunday School teachers - new and experienced - to embrace with joy their important role of teaching children of all ages about God's amazing love.

Rev. David Bailey writes, "Since 1998 when I read the book by Robert Foghorn, Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, I have been in a personal pilgrimage to write a type of sequel - Everything I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Sunday School. In fact, over this period of twenty-one years, I have developed the idea in a number of sermons and talks to various groups. Always giving Robert the highest accolades for his book, I thought for me and many others there was something missing - a dimension of education that has influenced millions of people. Some of their education started overtly or subtly even before kindergarten. It was called church school, parochial school, catechism school or most often Sunday school. Sunday school usually started with what was called primary class in most churches and lasted right through high school, young adult and senior adult classes."

Sunday School Teacher Elmer L. Towns and Pastor Stan Toler give us a visionary look at the Sunday School of the future-and definitely like what they see. That's provided, of course, we begin today to build the Sunday Schools that will revitalize the Church and thereby ensure its long-term growth. This companion to What Every Sunday School Teacher Should Know is a practical, exciting wake-up call for every pastor who has a nagging notion that the Sunday School program is not the dynamic catalyst for growth that it should be.
