Children & WW II Generation

August 30, 2004 General

Right now I teach 5th and 6th graders (with Jill) on Wednesday nights and WW II generation class on Sunday mornings called “Joyful Class.” I’ve found they–and perhaps everyone in between–like some of the same things:

Stories with suspense
Sticking to the Bible and its core messages and not tangents
Personal testimonies or ways of bringing the text of Scripture to the here and now
Remembering their names and hearing what they have to say
Seeing and hearing the point with audio/visuals
Being challenged to go deeper into the word themselves

What are other things that help all ages learn?

Greg R Taylor

I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated. I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here. You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.
