I'm Jack Klumpenhower; Bible teacher, parent, still-learning believer, author of "Show Them Jesus: Teaching the Gospel to Kids." This site is for you and me to help each other become better gospel teachers.

I'm so grateful for all the support the book has received. It's still selling well. Click the image above to get it straight from the publisher.

The Gospel-Centered Parent is a small group study applying the gospel specifically to the life of a parent. It's about being a mom or dad who practices and models faith.

What's Up: Discovering the Gospel, Jesus, and Who You Really Are is a discipleship course for tweens and young teens. There's both a Teacher Guide and a Student Book.
