Providing a wealth of detail about childhood and family structure, this book explores the hidden lives of children at the origins of Christianity. "Let the Little Children Come to Me" pays careful attention to the impact of gender, class, and slave status on children's lives.
It is said that everyone has a story to tell, a voice that deserves to be heard. There are many thousands of children with special needs who have long been ignored, rejected and excluded from our schools, our communities, and, sadly, from our Bible classes. We believe that these children are loved deeply and completely by our Lord and that they too are called to come unto Him. This book speaks to the heart and to the head. Teachers and pastors will find inspiration and information, reminding them that God calls us to include all children, no matter the challenge. In addition, the book includes wonderfully practical elements with many ideas that can be easily integrated into any classroom. By combining philosophy and strategies, this book will equip the typical church volunteer teacher to meet the needs of all the children in her classroom.
Aaron witnesses an amazing heavenly spectacle. Eliana embarks on a journey to find an infant king. Josiah gives his well-earned denarius to a great Teacher. Ruth's life is changed forever when she meets the Rabbi Jesus. Meira discovers who this Rabbi really is. Five children whose lives were changed by one man--one man named Jesus, who loved to teach them, to heal them, and to bless them. Jesus himself said in Matthew 19:14, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." This collection of stories for elementary-age young people gives readers a glimpse into what it might have been like for children in Bible times to walk in Jesus' footsteps.
This new Pillar volume offers exceptional commentary on Mark that clearly shows the second Gospel though it was a product of the earliest Christian community to be both relevant and sorely needed in today's church. Written by a biblical scholar who has devoted thirty years to the study of the second Gospel, this commentary aims primarily to interpret the Gosepl of Mark according to its theological intentions and purposes, especially as they relate to the life and ministry of Jesus and the call to faith and discipleship. Unique features of James Edwards's approach include clear descriptions of key terms used by Mark and revealing discussion of the Gospel's literary features, including Mark's use of the "sandwich" technique and of imagistic motifs and irony. Edwards also proposes a new paradigm for interpreting the difficult "Little Apocalypse" of chapter 13, and he argues for a new understanding of Mark's controversial ending.
A music book adapted from the well-known children's hymn. There is not a lot known about C. Herbert Woolston, who wrote the words to this favorite Bible song in the 1800s. But the lyrics are thought to be based on the verse, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these' (Matthew 19:14). Here, the lyrics have been expanded upon, and they acknowledge and celebrate the love of Jesus for all children, everywhere. Paired with colorful artwork and a music button, with the melody originally composed by George F. Root, this sturdy book will provide inspirational entertainment for little ones. Ages 2-5.
"Let the Children Come unto Me" is a children's book for the entire family. God'sWord is clear that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for "anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord" (Acts 2:21). The Blood of Jesus was for everyone then, just as it is now. Seek the Lord Jesus Christ. Will you join the children as they journey to seek Jesus together and find the salvation that only comes from His work at calvary? Will you let Him change you today?
Let The Children Come To Me, from the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 10:13-16. "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them, Mom begins reading. . ." A modern family follows the path of the Gospel story to find Jesus. To bring the story to life the book has been illustrated using vivid child friendly characters, created using 3D character software, so that the illustrations appear realistic and seem to leap from the page to better engage your child in learning about God and His love for them.
With an updated index to all of Burghardt's sermons in this and previous volumes. Once again Walter Burghardt, one of America's most talented and beloved preachers, brings his many devotees a brand-new collection of homilies, his fourteenth published by Paulist Press. The thirty homilies were delivered for occasions as diverse as a Sunday, a weekday, a memorial of a saint, or a hero such as Martin Luther King, Jr., a wedding, a radio mass, and his seventieth year as a priest. What ties them together, however, is Burghardt's abiding interest in, and pursuit of, biblical justice. As with his previous volumes, this collection will be inspirational for anyone who preaches, as a newcomer or veteran in the field, or, just as importantly, for anyone who listens. +
