Foundations of Ministry: An Introduction to Christian Education for a New Generation

Had to read this for a class I was taking. It is an easy read and is full of information for Christian ed Ministries.

This is a exceptionally well written instructional guide for students and Directors of Christian Education. A much needed resource for the shelves of Pastors and Christian Education leaders. Christian Education is explained beginning with its inception at the start of the first church. The authors have included a wealth of information that helps prepare leaders for teaching a diverse congregation.

This is a non-fiction how-to book on Christian Education.It's probably not going to be a classic, but it is very good book if you are interested in thinking about all different needs and different spheres of education -- that is curriculum, environment, and so on.The book has 25 chapters, each given to one special theme. Some of the chapters address psychology, special education, home schooling, Christian schools, mission education, Christian education in the church and in the home, and some other topics.It's a good book to read through and then put on your shelf for reference, pull it out when you need it. (Not the type of book that you want to read over a number of times!) It's also very practical in a number of ways, suggesting how to approach the issue of Christian Education. You'd benefit most from this book if you were a Christian Educator (teacher, administrator, principal, on the board of directors for a school, teacher of Sunday school, homeschool), on a committee for Christian Education, or you were a pastor or seminarian.
