If you are reading this because you are a preacher, and if children are present when you are preaching to adults, recognize the children's presence, include them in your remarks, and let them gain what they can from the sermon, but consider giving them something of their own, too, in a separate children's sermon. That sermon will be an opportunity to provide children with a well-rounded message fashioned specifically for them rather than 'tidbits' from a message meant primarily for others, an opportunity for them to hear God's Word at their level of understanding, in their language, and addressed to their concerns." Armstrong, a pastor who has given many effective children's sermons over the years, has thoughtfully created Thinking Through the Children's Sermon, a resource that shows how children's sermons can be both meaningful and edifying for children. He suggests ways of preparing and presenting children's sermons so they will become the valuable additions to worship that he believes they have the potential to be. This useful book also contains appendices and a bibliography. Part One: Children, Part Two: Message, Part Three: Methods. Book jacket.
