Book Description
Ever wonder about some of those big words you see in the Bible or hear in church? Big Ideas of the Bible unpacks important truths for 100 of those terms, from "Adoption" to "Worship" and everything in between--such as Covenant, Faith, Grace, the Incarnation, and the Trinity. Written for the average person, not the scholar, Big Ideas of the Bible provides key verses showing how a particular word or concept appears in scripture, a brief definition of the term, and a broader explanation of the concept with an emphasis on application. Fully illustrated in color, Big Ideas of the Bible is a perfect way to learn what's really important in scripture. It's ideal for personal reading, Sunday school use, or small group study.

Book Description
Community Christian Church embraced the Big Idea and everything changed. They decided to avoid the common mistake of bombarding people with so many “little ideas” that they suffered overload. They also recognized that leaders often don’t insist that the truth be lived out to accomplish Jesus’ mission. Why? Because people’s heads are swimming with too many little ideas, far more than they can ever apply.The Big Idea can help you creatively present one laser-focused theme each week to be discussed in families and small groups. The Big Idea shows how to engage in a process of creative collaboration that brings people together and maximizes missional impact. The Big Idea can energize a church staff and bring alignment and focus to many diverse church ministries. This book shows how the Big Idea has helped Community Christian Church better accomplish the Jesus mission and reach thousands of people in nine locations and launch a church planting network with partner churches across the country.This book is part of the Leadership Network Innovation Series.

Book Description
When Dr. Henrietta Mears began her ministry in Hollywood, California, in the 1930s, she was facing several challenges. Sixty percent of children at the time were not attending a church of any sort. Fewer than fifteen percent of children who attended Sunday School ever made a decision to follow Jesus. Youth in their early college years were walking away from faith at an unprecedented rate. Church attendance across the United States was experiencing a decline instead of growth. In response to the crisis, Dr. Mears instituted a set of principles that helped grow the Sunday School program at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood from 450 to more than 4,000 in just three years. In Sunday School Changes Everything, you will find her fearless recommendations on how to Build your church’s Christian education program both numerically and spiritually Use practical methods for training your leaders and teaching students of all stages of life Implement five ingredients of successful ministry: Jesus, the Bible, relationships, a comprehensive plan, and life change Employ 10 standards of a good curriculum that will help you answer the question of what to teach

Book Description
"Success is what every earnest, consecrated Sunday-school teacher and superintendent aim at, but to know how to achieve success is not always easy. Amos R. Wells has written a book that will help the Sunday-school worker understand what he needs the most in order to win success. In his preface Mr. Wells says: 'At different times and under different circumstances there are different things essential for Sunday-school success. I do not pretend that this book treats all of these. It does aim, however, to discuss the Sunday-school needs most commonly felt, and to provide practical suggestions regarding them.' Themes are discussed in the most practical way imaginable, and every chapter seems to be packed full of helpful plans for the actual work of the teacher. The teacher who reads this book with a desire to be helped will find many ideas that he can put into operation for making the next Sunday's lesson both interesting and fascinating to his class. The book is not alone for the teacher but the superintendent and other officers will find help in it as well....Into this his latest book he has put his best thought - the ripe fruit of his fullest experience and practical methods." -Herald of Gospel Liberty "Amos R. Wells needs no introduction to the Sunday school workers, either of this country or of Europe." -The Christian Work and the Evangelist "In these forty-four chapters many topics are treated for the first time in a book of this kind; the working together of the Sunday and the young people's society; the problem of the visitor; utilizing the late scholar; how to make the temperance and missionary lessons attractive; the Sunday school and the weather, and many other practical matters. Much attention is given to the important art of questioning. Blackboard work is fully treated. Many forms of review are described. In fine - for we have not space to go over the entire table of contents - the Sunday school teacher or officer that has the good fortune to own this volume will find in it thousands of helpful hints, following which he can scarcely fail to realize 'Sunday School Success.'" -Record of Christian Work "As full of suggestions and inspiration as possible. Mr. Wells is practical, cheerful, and encouraging. He indorses the use of maps and helps of all kinds, after everything has been assimilated that can be got out of the Bible. He strikes at weak points in teaching, and strengthens strong points. A large number of the chapters have appeared in periodicals, but in their collection is strengthened effect." -Sunday-School Advocate "There is more than a touch of specially American ingenuity in some of the devices for stimulating energy and enterprise which are suggested or have actually been put in practice....The book, which is written with great clearness...supplies perhaps the most remarkable testimony that has yet been borne to the amount of voluntary labor and enthusiasm that has been thrown into Sunday-school work." -The Spectator "A good book for Sunday school teachers....Written wisely, earnestly, suggestively, and helpfully of the organization, methods, machinery, and spirit of effective Sunday school effort....Teaching and training children to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world, is second to no work in its importance, and may well enlist the deepest interest and most careful study of all." -The Literary World
