Summary: Cows in Church gets Rave ReMoos!
Review: Cows in Church is a marvelous collection of children's sermons. It appeals to children with their capacity to grasp spiritual yet difficult concepts without overcomplicating them because of its refreshing use of modern culture to support its points. There is also in each sermon suggested props with which to make the point, e. g. a camera with fast film. I recommend this book to any minister or layperson who wants to bring God's Word to children. Cows in Church is not only simple a collection of children's sermons; it also speaks to adults. When I began the book, I could not put it down. It spoke to this adult woman like a concise, substantive collection of myths or fables, made me feel as if I had actually been to church. Besides being engrossing and entertaining, I learned a lot of Biblical history, a delightful surprise. For example, I had been told that Jesus threw the money changers from the temple because they were defiling the house of God. Cows in Chuch teaches the specifics of money gauging and fraud that went on in the temple. This makes Jesus' not only anger understandable but almost required. I recommend this book not only to children, but to any adult who wants to be jolted, surprised, tickled and grateful by this refreshing presentation of Biblical stories and truths.
