Pastor Karl’s Recommened Kids Bibles

Hello Parents! Pastor Karl here. I’m asked often, “Which Bible should I get my child?” Here are my recommendations for Bibles and some other tools to help your kids get excited about God’s Word!

PRE-ORDER The Kidmin Covenant – It Will Change Your Life

Be the FIRST to get my new book – but it’s more than just a new book, it is a Reflective Guide for Children’s Pastors – and I believe has the potential to change your life. Kids Ministry is HARD. Harder than most understand. It is the largest administrative job – second only to Lead Pastor, as it shares all the roles of a pastor, teaching, team-building, administration, but also usually manages the largest number of volunteer staff, number of weekly classes and programs, and minutia of other details most never even know about. The secret to survival lies not in more admin tricks, new apps, a bigger budget or more resources and volunteers – the secret to thriving lies within the Character of the Leader. To be outwardly fruitful, you must be inwardly healthy. I wrote these 12 Kidmin Covenant Commitments first only for myself – phrases that will keep me healthy and on track. There are many traps that leaders face that can derail them. But I honestly believe if you adapt these Kidmin Covenant Commitments to your life and ministry, you will do more than survive in ministry, you will THRIVE. This isn’t just a book, it…
