Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Around the Year in Children's Church

66/100
👎 Skip It
This hands children's church leaders a full year of ready-to-go programs - Bible verse, story, prayer, craft, all bundled for each of 52 Sundays. It's clearly built by people who know children's ministry well, but it's a planning tool for teachers rather than a book families read together, and I couldn't find real classroom feedback to confirm it delivers in practice.
