and
In the years I served as a Children’s Ministry Director and as a consultant for churches, over and over I heard about, and had to deal with, one of the biggest questions in Children’s Ministry – how do we get parents and grandparents to become involved in helping the children they love understand and live God’s Word? How do we get them to hand down confident faith?
One of the joys and privileges of being a parent or grandparent is we are the ones to whom God has given the “job” of teaching children about Him, but when parents think, “That’s why we bring our children to church” or grandparents think, “I’ve done my job, now I’m going to retire and let the younger generation take over” what can we do to help encourage and equip them to take on their vital roles?
New Year, New You, He is Alive!, and Trusting God Bible Maze Journeys and The Best Gift, Real Love, Prayer Bible Maze Journey are tools for us to use to help parent and grandparents learn by doing – they have the opportunity to work with the children they love on small portions of a special event for families and are able to serve alongside the children they love as they either participate in preparing for the event or have an actual part in the presentation of the event!

Beyond this, as families work through their event’s stations, time is included for families to sit together and talk about what they are learning and how it looks for it to be lived out in their everyday lives! As we model for parents and grandparents “how” to teach their children and grandchildren, they will understand they really are able to make this a part of their family’s everyday life! They will experience it really isn’t so hard to understand and live God’s Word with their children!

illustrate my own
If you are not an artist, or artistic person, when you see a book for which you need to provide the illustrations, you may think it is not the book for you. But, in this case with the illustrate my own Known Bible Hero, the illustrate my own Unknown Bible Hero books, and the illustrate my own Important Things Jesus Wants Me to Know books nothing could be farther from the truth! These books give you the unique opportunity to engage with the children you love in ways you never have when you read a book about a real Bible person, as you and/or they will be providing the illustrations, and you will get to talk about what is happening, think through what the Bible person is saying, and basically really pay attention to the details so you are able to provide the illustrations! Just think about the fantastic conversations you will be able to have about the Bible people and how what they learned applies to you as well!

the little answer book
The truth matters and we need to know the truth. This does not mean we have to be theologians, scientists, philosophers, or apologists, but we do need to find answers. We do need to know the “whys”, so we are able to teach them as part of a firm foundation we set for the ones we love, and so we are able to answer their questions if they have already turned from their faith. This is the purpose for this book – to help you find answers, so you are equipped to hand down confident faith as you teach the “whys” and to help you answer important questions.

the little answer book for children has activities and questions which will engage children as they learn the "whys" for the questions - is God real? what about science & God? if God is real, is He good?, and is the Bible true? As they think through questions, journal their answers, and participate in science projects and other activities, they will learn "why" they are able to have a confident faith!
