Popular prayers for children-latest title to picture book series
Formation of Character is the fifth volume of Charlotte Mason's
Homeschooling series. The chapters stand alone and are valuable to
parents of children of all ages. Part I includes case studies of
children (and adults) who cured themselves of bad habits. Part II
is a series of reflections on subjects including both schooling and
vacations (or "stay-cations" as we now call them). Part III covers
various aspects of home schooling, with a special section detailing
the things that Charlotte Mason thought were important to teach to
girls in particular. Part IV consists of examples of how education
affected outcome of character in famous writers of her day.
Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator
whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that children
are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank slates, and
that it was better to feed their growing minds with living
literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry facts and
knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of
education, still used by some private schools and many
homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with
younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and
noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder
and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art,
music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early
science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to
understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather
than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on
character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits.
Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time
should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to
pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts. Traditional
Charlotte Mason schooling is firmly based on Christianity, although
the method is also used successfully by secular families and
families of other religions.
You can know a lot about Jesus and not know him at all. We're not
meant to simply know a lot of facts about Jesus. Truly knowing
someone requires personal knowledge coming from being with someone
over time and building trust. Knowing about someone is just the
first step toward truly knowing them. It's the same with God: we
come to know Him personally when we spend time with Him, when we
build trust in Him, when we share our life with Him. Join Megan
Fate Marshman in this eight-week invitation to respond to and
really get to know Jesus in a personal and intimate way. This study
through the Gospel of John will focus on dissecting His seven "I
Am" statements, where we come to learn what Jesus wants us to know
most about His character and love for us. This study guide
includes: Individual access to eight streaming video talks from
Megan Group discussion questions and an opening group activity for
each session In-depth personal Bible study between sessions Reading
plan through the entire Gospel of John Scripture memory cards and
coloring pages The Beautiful Word Bible Study Series helps you
connect God's Word to your daily life through vibrant video
teaching, group discussion, and deep personal study that includes
verse-by-verse reading, Scripture memory, coloring pages, and
encouragement to receive your own beautiful Word from God. In each
study, a central theme-a beautiful word-threads throughout the
book, helping you connect and apply each book of the Bible to your
daily life today, and forever. This study guide has everything you
need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide

The Christian church hides a multitude of secrets; it is, after
all, a mysterious religion. For instance, what if Jesus did not
start Christianity? What if Paul, who knew Jesus only through
visions, created it? In Cover-Up, author and lay minister Lawrence
Goudge disputes the Christian theology that has dominated the world
for millennia. G
oudge, who has spent more than twenty-four years researching the
suppressed history of Jesus's Jewish followers, demonstrates how
the church has corrupted Jesus's message. "Cover-Up "takes an
innovative and investigative approach to Christianity, St. Paul's
credibility, and ways in which theological truths have been
concealed for two thousand years. Goudge's analysis debunks the
myths and provides alternative theories. A
s hatred and heresy haunt Christianity's shadows, this study
addresses the intolerant nature of the Christian church and sets
out to right the wrongs by bringing the truth about the Nazarenes
into the light of day. Goudge's message presents hope for a just
world.
Over the years I have collected and accumulated a number of, what I
call: "Bits and Pieces of Kingdom Wisdom and Revelations." This
book contains some of my favorite, power pack, key words of wisdom
and revelations. As you read you will understand my reason for
using this title. The little bits and pieces in this book will,
either, add too, or change your concept about certain views in
Christendom and kingdom insight. The title of this book is not
mentioned throughout the book; in reading you will, also,
understand why. For instance, this book is not written with much
detail, or with exhaustive information about any particular
subject. Most of my views are short with a proverbial fl avor; this
means, that sometimes it may seem as if you are actually, reading
proverbs. Some of these sayings might be viewed as, idioms, motto
and some, as I said, have the fl avor of a proverb, which from a
kingdom perspective, I believe, fit the messages in this book
perfectly. Most of these proverbial sayings were conceived in my
spirit and were birthed by the Holy Spirit, often times, when I was
in prayer. Many years have passed since I started recording these
sayings. I believe this book of Spirit filled wisdom should've been
blessing people everywhere long ago. My greatest desire for this
book is that every reader will discover a greater passion for
purpose, and a greater desire to grow in kingdom revelation, which
will be beneficial for kingdom living. This book contains a wealth
of, what I believe to be: wise spiritual snacks, lunch and
occasionally, readers might discover a full meal to dine on, which
is-without a doubt-good for the spirit, soul and body.
