About this ebook
No one can deny our culture is opposed to Christian values, and the influences bombarding our children's moral development are difficult to contend with. But few parents and church leaders realize that a child's moral development is set by the age of nine. It is therefore critical to start developing a child's biblical worldview from the very earliest years of life.
The problem is complex: parents who themselves did not receive early spiritual training leave their children's training to the church. Yet the church often focuses on older children. The answer is for churches to come alongside parents to provide them biblical worldview training, parenting information, and counseling that will equip them to help their children become the spiritually mature church of tomorrow. This helpful and hopeful book unpacks just how to develop this kind of dynamic church/parent relationship and includes profiles of churches that are effectively ministering to children and winning the war for their hearts and minds.

I am reading the 2003 edition and am greatly disappointed in the low numbers of people polled to gather the data from. For the author to be making such huge, impactful, monumental statements based on his polls, it is gut wrenching to see the number of statements made that have no reference to any specific research and then to find that the statements that do indicate research are so appallingly lacking in numbers. For example: Table 2.1 in the 2003 says only 1,010 adults were polled! Only 318 13yr olds!!!
