In three years, 1931-1933, Henrietta Mears grew Hollywood Presbyterian Church's Sunday School from 450 to 4,500 children, youth and adults. Dr. Mears not only knew the Bible, as generations of readers of What the Bible Is All Aboutcan attest, she also knew the supreme importance of Sunday School for forming the next generation in Christ. In this never-before-published book, Dr. Mears shows church leaders why Sunday School is the greatest investment their church can make to reach the next generation for Christ, and offers practical tools for organizing and training leaders for effective Sunday School outreach. Why is Sunday School big business? Because it is God's business.

Miss Mears was one of the great Bible teachers of the 20th Century. As Christian education director at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, she built one of the largest Sunday Schools in the world and wrote curriculum that was in such high demand that to publish it, she founded Gospel Light in 1933. Such notable Christian leaders as Richard C. Halverson, Luis Evans, Jr. and Bill Bright were among her students. Dr. Billy Graham has said, \u201cShe is certainly one of the greatest Christians I have ever known.\u201d Miss Mears was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 20, 1963.
