Building Children’s Ministry is one of the best children’s ministry guides out there. It is easy to read and written well. This book has practical applications without any condemnation. Houser emphasizes the importance of sharing the truth about God in ministry and keeping “the main thing” the main thing.

Houser combines educational concepts, psychological principles and a child’s developmental stages in laying the foundation for a strong children’s ministry.

Great ideas and illustrations are used; and as she talks about momentum, she gives readers the motivation to get out there and give ministry their all.
