Kinders vra soms uitdagende vrae, soos: Wie het vir God geskep? Waar is die hemel? Hoekom laat God toe dat virusse oorneem? Kan God enigiets doen? Kan Hy dinosourusse weer laat lewe? As God alles weet, hoekom moet ek bid?

Dit is soms moeilik om te antwoord op eerlike soos dié. Bybelvrae en antwoorde vir kinders is ’n handige hulpmiddel vir saamlees of selflees. Dave Strehler, ’n gerespekteerde skrywer met jare lange ervaring in kinderbediening, gee toepaslike Bybelgebaseerde antwoorde op meer as 80 vrae wat kinders vra oor God, geloof en die Bybel.

Elke vraag bevat genoegsame Skrifverwysings, ʼn kort bespreking asook ʼn interessante veelkeuse-vraag wat kinders self kan antwoord. Twee woordraaisels is ingesluit wat kinders uitdaag om al die name van die boeke in die Ou en Nuwe Testament op te spoor. Daar is ook ’n afdeling met kort opsommings van elke boek van die Bybel, met sleutelverse uit die boek wat gememoriseer kan word.

This is an introduction to African Christian ethics for Christian colleges and Bible schools. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the theory of ethics, while the second discusses practical issues. The issues are grouped into the following six sections: Socio-Political Issues, Financial Issues, Marriage Issues, Sexual Issues, Medical Issues, and Religious Issues. Each section begins with a brief general introduction, followed by the chapters dealing with specific issues in that area. Each chapter begins with an introduction, discusses traditional African thinking on the issue, presents an analysis of relevant biblical material, and concludes with some recommendations. There are questions at the end of each chapter for discussion or personal reflection, often asking students to reflect on how the discussion in the chapter applies to their ministry situation.

Moving Forward When You're Skeptical of Others, Afraid of what God will Allow, and Doubtful of your Own Discernment

Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You're exhausted by other people's choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you're wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?

How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it's not simply about finding better people to walk with. It's about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don't become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship.

In I Want to Trust You, But I Don't, Lysa shows you how to:

• Identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you're feeling uneasy
• Stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial "what if" questions to better process your doubts
• Recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust
• Understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you've experienced and start healing from the inside out

In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn't dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.
