I can think of only one word to sum up what I thought of this book: Fabulous!Honestly. Last week someone on my staff gave me this book. Although I have a creative streak, usually my administrative tendencies crowd out that part of my personality. Knowing that Willow Creek highly values and usually sets the standard on using the "arts" in ministry... I initially wasn't interested. I figured this would be a book I would skim. No, really. Any book that is purposelyfilled with funny and wierd sketches on almost every page is enough to make we want to sit in front of CSPAN all day. I think my deal was that I just don't like using drama and arts in the context of children's ministry because from my experience, it is usually crappy! So, I wasn't really interested.That very night I was up late doing some work. It was 1:00 AM (yes, I don't have kids yet) and I wasn't quite ready to turn in for the night, so I pulled out this book. Finally at 3:30 AM I put the book down because I knew I was going to be trashed the next day if I didn't get at least 4 hours of sleep. One word... AMAZING! Totally not what I expected. Yes, the book is full of information about drama and the arts... but it's so much more than that. Simply put, it's completely about the most important part of what I do every weekend, the 20 to 25 minutes when I take God's word and give it to the kids who attend my service. This book is about maximizing that time, ensuring that it is a moment that will stick with them for longer than 20 minutes after they leave. Never have I read a book like this. It's theoretical, it's practical and man is it funny. I caught myself laughing out loud time and time again.
