A surprisingly fine book. I appreciate the approach and consideration Ferguson has to thinking through what you want in a curriculum and what to look into when choosing and implementing it.

[Paul · Rating 2 out of 5]

While I think this book includes some helpful guidance, the author makes too many assumptions about what education in a church looks like. The six keys she suggest churches use to build their curriculum plan are interesting, but hard to understand. Many churches would find her numerous suggestions for what the education committee does to be laughable since she most churches would not function in that way.
