50 assemblies that will expose children to Christianity so that they can explore it for themselves and make up their own minds but are structured in a way that stays within educational guidelines and the law.

Each talk has a teaching point, and is cross-referenced by both Bible references and one or more moral themes so that schools can record the values that they are addressing. Themes include co-operation, courage, facing peer pressure, friendship, honesty, obedience, saying sorry, self-worth, thoughfulness and trust. These assemblies will help teachers and invited visitors to lead an assembly that will inspire children. In addition to an illustrated talk, each outline includes suggested songs and a prayer.

Chris Nicholls draws on his experience of regularly taking assemblies in schools in East Sussex and includes an extended introduction to the book which covers the following issues:

Creating atmosphere
Overcoming the cringe factor
Rounding them up
The dilution of distance
Stage fright
Storytelling
Illustrating your talk
Object lessons
Working with vent dolls
Involvement and participation
Prayer and reflection
Emergencies
