Christian Education is an important facet in keeping members involved and educated, especially when pertaining to children and youth. Bill Thomas' How We Teach Jesus combines theological and biblical thinking to develop a thorough lesson plan for any age group, and explores why Christian education matters and can improve your faith community.
In our congregations, we often see members who are interested in learning more about God's word, but there is not always a class dedicated to them to help. Thomas has created this resource to help you start new classes and lead them with confidence, no matter the specific subject.
How We Teach Jesus is a valuable tool for church leaders and volunteers looking to reignite or begin educational programs within their church; the book offers discussion on planning classes, evaluation of the program, class curriculum, and ways to better communicate with your students, no matter what age they or you are!
