The Nursery of the Holy Spirit

Welcoming Children in Worship.

Public worship is the nursery of the Holy Spirit.
As you enter the sanctuary, you notice them at once. Then, as you take your
seat next to a family, they are right there beside you. Throughout the ensuing
service, you see them--and hear them. The presence of children in public
worship is not only striking, but also increasingly strange in modern American
church life. In fact, the idea of your children sitting or standing next to you
during prayer, singing, or the pastor's sermon can be downright scary.
This book is based in the conviction that public worship is the nursery of the
Holy Spirit and that bringing children in is both beneficial and a blessing.
The Nursery of the Holy Spirit offers practical advice on how to make this
ideal a reality in your children's lives.

Many reasons are given for why children drift away from the church, but " perhaps the most important--and least discussed--is the fact that parents do
not teach them that church is important. And basic to that is making sure
children are in the worship service and understand what is happening. Danny's
little book will be a great help to parents and pastors as they reflect on how
better to encourage little children to come to Christ. - Carl R. Trueman"
