According to a study by George Barna, a person is most likely to become a Christian between the ages of four and fourteen. Yet the majority of evangelism training is designed to reach adults, not children. Leading Kids to Jesus equips children's ministry leaders with proven principles to help them have life-changing discussions with kids. The focus is exclusively on personal interactions, not corporate presentations or prop-driven illustrations. Readers learn the best ways to communicate God's love to toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school children in words they understand. The book adapts two simple communication tools from the bestselling evangelism course Becoming a Contagious Christian, which helps you develop your own three-part story and the four components of the gospel message. Included is a survey of what questions to expect from kids, along with other helps and children's ministry experience from Willow Creek's Promiseland staff and volunteers. A companion volume for parents called Leading Your Child to Jesus is also available.

A loved one's suicide turns normal life (if there is such a thing) into choppy and deeply uncomfortable space for everyone who must deal with the aftermath. The word "nightmare" describes the situation well. I know the feeling. The memory remains all too vivid of the call to tell my wife and me that our lifelong friend Teri had taken her own life. The words didn't seem real. Time slowed. Every breath felt forced. Hard. Painful. The suffocating feeling stayed with us, just as it does with anyone who loses a loved one to suicide. If that describes you, Four Corners of Grace will help you breathe again without it hurting so much. To possibly fall asleep for a while tonight. Or maybe to just feel a moment of peace that loosens the knot in your stomach. This book doesn't try to solve our country's suicide epidemic, nor does it attempt to shortcut the grieving needed in order to fully heal. It will - unapologetically, yet compassionately - walk toward and embrace the specific aches and anguishes suicide produces. Along the way, readers discover that two paths exist: Give in to endless despair or go on a journey to find life-giving grace - right now, when it's needed most.
