Author Jack Klumpenhauer is a former news producer with extensive experience in church education around the world, both as a Sunday school teacher and curriculum developer.
As he himself has served as a Sunday school teacher for a long time, he primarily deals with the educational field of Sunday school and middle and high school Bible teachers.
He diagnosed that one of the biggest reasons the next generation is leaving the church is because of the church education system that is focused on 'correction of behavior.'
In doing so, it presents a method of evangelism that targets the hearts of Sunday school children, not their actions, by repeatedly 'showing them Jesus Christ' and allowing them to experience Him.
What is important here is that he does not introduce his excellent techniques for spreading the gospel or just tell his own success stories.
Throughout the book, he humbly acknowledges his own weaknesses and failures, while truthfully and meticulously teaching us how to preach only the cross of Jesus Christ.

Part 1 of the book covers why it is important to show Jesus Christ in Sunday school, that is, to teach the gospel, and how to get started. Part 2 presents specific methods for how to teach the gospel.
Chapter 1 of Part 1, which deals with why teaching the gospel is important, explains that Christianity itself is not a religion of ups and downs, but rather a religion that pursues Jesus himself.
Chapter 2 says that we must teach the gospel because living by the gospel is far better than living by moralism, cheap grace, psychotherapeutic religion, or even living only with Jesus as an example.
Chapter 3 emphasizes that the gospel must be preached in every class because it is essential not only for the moment of accepting Jesus as Savior but also throughout the Christian life.
Chapter 4 argues that the best ministry is to preach the gospel, as it is the gospel that has the power to change the hearts of children from birth.
Chapter 5 states that the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament, consistently reveals the gospel of Jesus Christ rather than examples of life or moral lessons, and therefore must be taught in accordance with the original theme of the Bible.

Part 2 then covers six chapters in detail on how to teach the gospel, clearly demonstrating the importance of focus over methodology through honest confessions based on the author's own experience.
Chapter 6 explains how to teach the gospel using the Old Testament, and Chapter 7 explains how to teach the gospel using the New Testament, with specific lesson plans, emphasizing that the God of the Old and New Testaments is the same.
In Chapter 8, you will learn how to create an evangelistic atmosphere not only through Bible studies but also through interactions and environmental factors outside of class, such as encouragement, discussion, and worship.
Chapter 9 explains how to apply the gospel to children's lives outside of the church, including school life.
At this time, we present effective tools to help you deal with the child's underlying sins, not just their superficial ones.
Chapter 10 emphasizes that we must become teachers who pray in order to teach the gospel, and also introduces useful ways to teach children to pray.
Finally, Chapter 11 dramatically demonstrates, through the author's honest experience, that teachers need the gospel more than anyone else.

Although this book possesses both a sense of speed and realism in both style and content, it is by no means a light read.
This is because the book presents a serious and weighty challenge of fundamental reform of Sunday school education throughout.
However, the author never portrays or idealizes himself as a hero who achieved great success in Sunday school education.
Rather, he confesses that he has continually come closer to the essence through his weakness.
For example, he once compared himself to another teacher and secretly felt superior.
I hate awkward moments and miss opportunities to connect deeply with my students.
I reject great suggestions from other teachers because I don't want to buy into their ideas.
Because he is embarrassed about his skiing skills, he misses the opportunity to socialize with students and parents through ski trips.
At retreats, students get annoyed and angry because they don't appreciate their lessons.
In his candid confession of these failures, he does his best to express how his pride and desire for recognition have hindered his ministry of spreading the gospel, and that the gospel can only be spread through self-death, acknowledging one's sins before God and people as they are.
As a result, the author is introducing the gospel to his fellow teachers.
To fellow Sunday school teachers who struggle every day in the ministry field as both righteous and sinners, the message is not to "work harder," but to "believe in a God who forgives."

This book is a must-read for all adults who wish to share the gospel of the cross and resurrection with the so-called "next generation" and help them personally encounter Jesus Christ.
In particular, if we are to reform Sunday school education, which has been captured by all kinds of commercial methods, lost the essence of the gospel, and has been reduced to a religious marketplace—and thus, has ultimately lost countless young lives—we cannot avoid the questions and challenges this book poses.
