"Success is what every earnest, consecrated Sunday-school teacher and superintendent aim at, but to know how to achieve success is not always easy. Amos R. Wells has written a book that will help the Sunday-school worker understand what he needs the most in order to win success. In his preface Mr. Wells says: 'At different times and under different circumstances there are different things essential for Sunday-school success. I do not pretend that this book treats all of these. It does aim, however, to discuss the Sunday-school needs most commonly felt, and to provide practical suggestions regarding them.' Themes are discussed in the most practical way imaginable, and every chapter seems to be packed full of helpful plans for the actual work of the teacher. The teacher who reads this book with a desire to be helped will find many ideas that he can put into operation for making the next Sunday's lesson both interesting and fascinating to his class. The book is not alone for the teacher but the superintendent and other officers will find help in it as well....Into this his latest book he has put his best thought - the ripe fruit of his fullest experience and practical methods." -Herald of Gospel Liberty "Amos R. Wells needs no introduction to the Sunday school workers, either of this country or of Europe." -The Christian Work and the Evangelist "In these forty-four chapters many topics are treated for the first time in a book of this kind; the working together of the Sunday and the young people's society; the problem of the visitor; utilizing the late scholar; how to make the temperance and missionary lessons attractive; the Sunday school and the weather, and many other practical matters. Much attention is given to the important art of questioning. Blackboard work is fully treated. Many forms of review are described. In fine - for we have not space to go over the entire table of contents - the Sunday school teacher or officer that has the good fortune to own this volume will find in it thousands of helpful hints, following which he can scarcely fail to realize 'Sunday School Success.'" -Record of Christian Work "As full of suggestions and inspiration as possible. Mr. Wells is practical, cheerful, and encouraging. He indorses the use of maps and helps of all kinds, after everything has been assimilated that can be got out of the Bible. He strikes at weak points in teaching, and strengthens strong points. A large number of the chapters have appeared in periodicals, but in their collection is strengthened effect." -Sunday-School Advocate "There is more than a touch of specially American ingenuity in some of the devices for stimulating energy and enterprise which are suggested or have actually been put in practice....The book, which is written with great clearness...supplies perhaps the most remarkable testimony that has yet been borne to the amount of voluntary labor and enthusiasm that has been thrown into Sunday-school work." -The Spectator "A good book for Sunday school teachers....Written wisely, earnestly, suggestively, and helpfully of the organization, methods, machinery, and spirit of effective Sunday school effort....Teaching and training children to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world, is second to no work in its importance, and may well enlist the deepest interest and most careful study of all." -The Literary World
