Beloved writer Stormie Omartian gently explains to her young readers that God loves them at all times and that each one of their prayers is meaningful and precious. Through Shari Warren's cheerful artwork and Stormie's wise words, children learn that God is always listening and ready to help.

Stormie shares what it means to pray the best prayer of all--asking Jesus to come into your heart. As children learn about the great gift of salvation and the wonder of living forever with God, they are assured that, as one of God's special kids, Jesus is always beside them--and they'll be inspired to reach out to others and tell them how awesome it is to be a child of God.

Questions! Questions! Questions! Children are full of them. This book tackles the many questions that children have about Jesus, including:- * What was special about Jesus? * Why did Jesus heal sick people? * Why did Jesus have to die? * How can I give my life to Jesus? An answer is given for each question, accompanied by a story to read and a memory verse. To help the children take the message on board there are activities and suggestions for discussion. Prayers are also given to encourage them to bring every aspect of life to their Heavenly Father. An invaluable tool for introducing children to Jesus and helping them to get to know Him better, in an enjoyable and interactive way.

During the Middle Ages the church laboured to build a community of faith. Benedict, Columba, and Francis organized communities in which the Gospel could be preached. Theodulf, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux answered the call to reform that community and theology. And when the church's leaders drifted from the authority of Scripture, a first wave of reformers in Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Hus arose to call God's people back to the grace of God. This was a Church that sought to reign, love and conquest, a Church that wanted to secure freedom, and proclaim the gospel. When that Church fell into corruption it undertook its own reform. Which one of these is the medieval Church? They all are! And in that we can find hope in the God Who loves His Church as we seek to live in His name.
