Let the Children Worship

This slim paperback is a nice size to not feel overwhelmed- a very doable read. It starts off by giving the why to having children part of corporate worship (in church with everyone rather than separated into kids church), then it give barriers for parents to doing this, and solutions to help, as well as encouragement. I think it's a good read for any parent interested in having their kids in church with them, as well as any childrens ministry leaders and pastors. It's valuable to see that there are reasons to welcome children into the main church service, even if it brings a little more noise and distraction. I personally had already come to similar convictions, so it was more a comfort and encouragement, but for others it may be an interesting challenge / change in thinking that may be helpful. Even if the decision you come to is to send your kids to Sunday school, this may be a helpful read to understand why others may keep their kids with them.
