Of Such Is the Kingdom by Timothy Sisemore

Of Such Is the Kingdom by Timothy Sisemore

Are you bringing up your children the way God wants you to? Of Such is the Kingdom re-examines the tasks of parenting and care of children in the church from a Biblical and theological point of view. This foundation is seriously lacking in current Christian literature - too often books skirt around difficult questions as the spiritual nature of children and the place of children in the church. Timothy Sisemore here builds a practical approach to parenting and children's ministry. He also reviews biblical guidelines on discipline and control yet goes beyond this to how to train up children to be godly. He suggests ways in which this can be done in both family and church settings. Subjects covered include - Christian parenting in a hostile world, educating children spiritually and academically, Cultivating godliness, disciplining and discipling, how are children saved? The Church's responsibility towards its children, children's involvement in worship and sacraments, how to develop a biblical / theological base to minister to children in all aspects of family and church life.

'His approach is what the Bible calls wisdom..as rich in Biblical instruction as it is in psychological insight.'

-- Edmund P. Clowney, Emeritus Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary ((1917-2005) Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary in California, Escondido, California)

‘underscores the need not only to teach our children about God but also to develop a worldview that enables them to see the totality of their Christian faith in all things....I will recommend it as an important book.'

-- Charles Dunahoo, Christian Education & Publications, Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)

‘Here is a straightforward, readable, challenging and practical manual - just what parents are looking for.'

-- Sinclair B. Ferguson, Pastor and Adjunct Professor of Systematic Theology (Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi)

‘Anyone who has a true concern for the spiritual welfare of children in this present age must read this book!'

-- Mark Johnstone, Pastor and Conference speaker (Minister, Bethel Presbyterian Church, Cardiff, Wales)

‘The last section — "the nurture of children in the church" — is worth the price of the book. Dr. Sisemore addresses a need that's crucial for parents and church leaders today... you will find a consistent God-ward focus accented with practical, hands-on guidance.'

-- Thomas R. Patete, Executive Director, Great Commission Publications
