Carol M. McLean

CAROL M. McLEAN taught Sunday School for more than twenty years, produced her own teaching materials for four lessons each and every week, and saw the fruits of her labor in souls saved and Children established in grace doctrine. CAROL M. McLEAN owned and operated her own open-to-the-public Christian Bookstore in a shopping center in Beavercreek Ohio for more than twenty years, which exposed her to both the needs of teachers and the lack of doctrianlly sound material. For the most part, what is available to stores avoids doctrine so as not to offend, which also rendered such materials ineffective. CAROL M. McLEAN, with her first book, PATTY'S MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION presented salvation by grace through faith in Christ's payment for sin and with her second book, WHY BE GOOD? children are taught what motivates believers to behave. Both books should be available to children everywhere. PATTY'S MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: How does a person get to heaven? Follow Patty through her neighborhood as she keeps asking her most important question until she gets the right answer. This is an outstanding evangelistic tool. 32 pages of well written and beautifully illustrated material making the gospel of the Grace of God clear and accessible Patty's Most Important Question will minister to your entire congregation when presented as a play. Whether your group is large or small, "Patty-as-a-play" is perfect. Some of the kids can perform while others build scenery, others make costumes, and everyone can sing the song. WHY BE GOOD: The simple WHY BE GOOD? question arises in children when they think through having been saved by grace through faith and know they are complete in Christ, secured by His cross, constrained by His love. This beautifully illustrated book answers the deep theological questions with practical understanding presented so that children are able to comprehend. While just one Bible verse is quoted in the text of WHY BE GOOD, more than two dozen verses undergird the story, and there is a song included which makes the doctrinal concepts easier for kids to remember. WHY PAUL AT ALL? A most important question... This is the third of the "most important question" series and the most profound. While the kids can color the 25 illustrations they can read or have read to them that Christ died for their sins on Calvary's cross, that we are baptized into Christ without water, that the Body of Christ and Israel are not the same, that our promises are spiritual and not physical, that God is not now nation building but body building and that what we have is a done deal, not a work in progress. It would not be overstating it to say that Pastors and Teachers will learn from this book, or to say it another way, kids that learn what is in this book could teach most adults. This book is, in a word: OUTSTANDING.
