	For smaller churches...  Feb 27, 2007
Some of the suggestions Chapman gave for worship environments felt a little to forced- I wondered if there was enough room for the Sprirt to move in the "agenda" of the service. Overall, I think her audience is the smaller children's ministry. Some of the suggestions/ crafts/ environments she recommended were unrealistic for groups larger than 30-40 kids. If a large church were to try some of these activities, it would be very costly, and would require a lot of room.- Even for the smaller churches this book targets, I feel some of the recommendations are unrealistic.

AWESOME!!! The title should be "Teaching kids/adults Authentic Worship". What a blessing! This book teaches why worship, what worship really is, how and when to worship. Last but not least the book teaches how to teach worship to kids so that they understand it on their level.
	Refreshing, Relevant, Revealing, Required Reading  May 12, 2004
Teaching kids authentic worship presents a refreshing return to the basic principles of what worship means. Kathleen Chapman not only provides a meaningful presentation of corporate and individual worship, but provides it in the deft context of raising children. This is not a book about styles of worship, or styles of music. Kathleen provides principles of worship which can be applied in every context, in every style, in every generation. She demonstrates the applicable relevance of her approach with countless examples she draws from her years of experience. What Kathleen presents as authentic worship is a solidly focused time of considering and appreciating who God is. It is artfully crafted time of considered God and God alone, and can be done in a variety of settings, with or without music or song, in homes or at church. This approach has a clear impact on the minds of children--not only in how they think about God, but about life as well. It frees children from overbearing legalistic views of God and religion and excites them about the God they serve. I say this not only from having read the book, but by having seen my children experience the application of the principles in this book. Reading this book will perhaps challenge the reader by revealing how we allow self-centered activities and songs to replace our worship of God. A child raised with the principles in this book will learn to consider God before their own fears or concerns. They will be empowered to consider God's capacity in them before considering their own situations and their limits. As a father of four and former pastor and Christian missions staff, I consider this book as invaluable recommended reading for all parents, pastors, and Sunday School teachers. There are very few books that I recommend with such high regard. We must be challenged and empowered by Kathleen's return to a clear Biblical presentation of worship. As parents and teachers we often know what we want to accomplish in raising our children, but lack the ideas of how to effectly implement it. This book is repleat with examples of how to integrate authentic worship into your Sunday School classes, home life and Church. Kathleen does not wallow in theological abstracts, but presents solid Biblical principles which she applies over and over again, and then illustrates with example after example. In the end, a child who has been raised to know God in this way will be equiped with a foundation from which to ask the challenging question of life and God that we ask as we mature. When the foundation is solid, so the building endures the storm. If you are considering this book, then you likely understand who the foundation is. Teaching Kids Authentic Worship will show you how to best lay that foundation for lifetime endurance.
	NOT JUST FOR KIDS  Aug 19, 2003
I started reading this book to teach worship to my grandchildren. After all I was raised in the church and a Christian school, what did I need to learn? I needed to learn WORSHIP! I realize that I was doing some worship but it was all related to what God had done for me. I have learned to just worship God for who He is. What a wonderful blessing it has been. Recommend this for everyone.
	Amazing!  Jun 28, 2003
Kathleen Chapman has a simple, though profound way of communicating. Her research and expertise on why children move from God, jarred my senses. I also appreciated the easy-to-practice Worship Moments found at the book's end. This book is a must for all who have children in their lives.
