Children and Childhood in the Bible
| Category | Child Philosophy |

Jesus had an intense interest in children. He encouraged children to come to Him and He used them as illustrations of simple trust. Thus, to neglect children is to run counter to what the Bible says about them. Children and Childhood in the Bible is a workbook that enables students to explore many aspects of ministry to children, including ways to teach them, parental responsibilities, and theological issues related to children. Each chapter introduces you to statements in Scripture about children, gives you key insights on the topic of that chapter, and asks you reflection questions that encourage you to think of the implications of the issues of the chapter. This workbook may be used for private study or as an instruction tool in studies and worships in churches, among child care works, or other settings. It is appropriate for young adults and older (ages 18+) and is a downloadable book in PDF format.
