GoodBookStall Review:
“It covers the lot – why to and how to, when to and where to. It’s fully comprehensive. Buy this book!” I want to echo this comment on the reverse cover. One comment would be that I feel as though it could have been trimmed a little – there’s too much in it! The book is good if a church has a children’s worker, but like many places, this isn’t the case, and it takes a skilful eye to follow this book as it jumps around a little too much. But if you really want to see positive changes in your children’s work then I can’t recommend this book enough. There are many books out there, but the content of this one stands up for itself. The author has created Fusion and Impact, both of which are very good. I want to encourage all church workers, be it volunteers or employees to at least read the first few chapters – Mark Griffiths has a clear gifting with his writing, and wants to help you instil strong moral and spiritual values into the lives of children. Certainly one to buy and keep dipping into – so buy it, and get training your team!
