| Summary | "The Boy and the Sunday School" by John L. Alexander is a manual focusing on principles and methods for working with teenage boys in Sunday schools, written in the early 20th century. This book addresses the needs and dynamics of the adolescent boy, highlighting the critical role the Sunday school can play in his spiritual development. Alexander draws on his extensive background in youth education to provide insights and recommendations tailored to capture and keep the interest of teenage boys within the church setting. The opening of the book establishes the importance of recognizing the unique challenges associated with the Secondary Division of Sunday schools, where many boys are often neglected. The author emphasizes that the teenage years are pivotal in forming spiritual values and making life-changing decisions. In the introductory sections, Alexander discusses the interplay of the home, school, and church in shaping a boy’s life, stressing the necessity for an engaging and relevant approach to education within the church. This groundwork sets the stage for practical strategies designed to enhance boys' participation and retention in Sunday school, emphasizing a shift toward understanding and meeting their specific developmental needs.
