Creative Bible Learning for Early Childhood

Wesley Haystead and Donna Harrell wrote this as a practical handbook for Sunday school teachers and children's ministry workers serving children from birth through age five. It addresses the genuine developmental gap in Christian education resources for very young children, offering activity-based methods grounded in both child development principles and evangelical Christian teaching. Published by Regal Books (Gospel Light), it comes from a credible and long-standing Christian education imprint. If you are building or training a preschool ministry team, it covers ground most curricula skip. The honest caveats are real: the book dates from the late 1970s and early 1980s, and some pedagogical approaches may not reflect current best practices in early childhood education. Limited critical reviews also make independent quality assessment difficult. Worth considering for ministry contexts, with awareness of its age.
