Worship


I began reading an excellent book. It is about Worship. It is supposed to be about teaching your children to worship and to keep them close to God, for life. It is supposed to be directed toward childrens ministers but don't let that idea fool you. What I have discovered is that I am learning a lot for myself about TRUE worship and what it really is. Please read this book. It is not just for parents, ministers, or children. It is also excellent reading for adults. (You already think you know what worship is don't you? Check out this book and see if you are right.) It will change the way you think. Worship is really important. Don't let it be just something you talk about but never participate in.

As you can see the title is "Teaching Kids Authentic Worship: How to keep them close to God for life" by Kathleen Chapman


You can purchase it here.
You can also purchase it from Amazon and Christian bookstores.

Below is information about the book.....

Description

Most children know all there is to know about their favorite sports star or T.V. character. Wouldn't it be great if they were just as excited about knowing God? They will be, says Kathleen Chapman, when they're shown how to truly worship-to focus on God alone. In this eye-opening book, Chapman shares wisdom and techniques gained during her thirty years in children's ministry. With her fifty-two inspiring worship moments, you can guide children in making God their greatest hero and lifelong friend.
