The Gifts They Bring: How Children In The Gospels Can Shape Inclusive Ministry

Children were central to Jesus' ministry, and they can and should be central to the ministry of the church of every age. The Gifts They Bring challenges readers to reconsider ministry with children today, moving away from a transactional model of imparting wisdom to children to a dialogical model of learning and serving together with children. Through a rereading of familiar Gospel accounts, Amy Lindeman Allen celebrates children as a gift to the church of all ages and offers insight on the many gifts children themselves bring to ministry today.
