A Powerful Approach to Bringing God's Grace to Kids Did you know that the way we deal (or don't deal) with our kids' misbehavior shapes their beliefs about themselves, the world, and God? Therefore it's vital to connect with their hearts--not just their minds--amid the daily behavior battles. With warmth and grace, Jim and Lynne Jackson, founders of Connected Families, offer four tried-and-true keys to handling any behavioral issues with love, truth, and authority. You will learn practical ways to communicate messages of grace and truth, how to discipline in a way that motivates your child, and how to keep your relationship strong, not antagonistic. Discipline is more than just a short-term attempt to modify your child's actions--it's a long-term investment to help them build faith, wisdom, and character for life. When you discover a better path to discipline, you'll find a more well-behaved--and well-believed--kid.

Elizabeth Pietrantonio takes readers on a daily journey through scripture, reflecting on God’s faithfulness to His people and our response to His love. Approaching the Bible story through an historical timeline following the fourteen narrative books, she connects the events of the Old Testament with their fulfillment in the New, gently challenging readers to pursue lives of holiness and devotion to God. Each day, readers will discover how the passages relate to their own personal journeys. With a re-energized faith, they will pray more fervently and see God’s hand not only in the history of the world, but in their own lives as well. Readers will enjoy the adventure as they cheer on the heroes, plunge into despair with the prophets, and fight alongside the people. Daily reflections and quotes from saints, Christian writers and theologians engage readers in the world they live in today. By the end of the 365-day journey, readers will see their own journeys in light of salvation history. Although written from a Catholic perspective, Experience the Bible can inspire readers from all church traditions to fall in love with God’s Word and apply it to their lives daily. It is an ideal resource and will make an excellent addition to many personal and church libraries.
