Sikhism is often the religion that teachers have the least
confidence in teaching, despite being the fifth largest religion in
the world, and being commonly regarded as one of the six main
religions to be taught in schools. This book fills that gap in
knowledge and expertise by exploring the beliefs and practices of
Sikhism as a lived religion in the modern world. It engages with
Sikh beliefs and practices, and provides students and teachers with
the confidence to address misconceptions and recognise the
importance of beliefs in the lives of believers, in a way that will
enable readers to go forward with confidence. Aspects of Sikhism
explored include the concepts that form the central beliefs of
Sikhism, and the expression of these beliefs in worship and daily
life, and the ethics of Sikhs in the modern day. Each chapter
includes authentic voices of believers today and provides
opportunities for the reader to consider the concepts and how they
can be respected and taught in the classroom.
Sadie Robertson, bestselling author of Live Original
and star of Dancing with the Stars, has built her
brand on a simple but powerful message for teen
girls: be who God created you to be and have fun
doing it! Live Fearless: A Call to Power, Passion, and
Purpose takes this anthem to the next level by
empowering readers to reject fear and live a joy-
filled life with passion and purpose.
Despite being more connected than any prior generation via
technology and social media, today's young people often
feel more isolated and anxious than ever before. As they
come of age in an uncertain world full of scary headlines and
mixed messages, Sadie's story of overcoming fear and
anxiety offers hope. Through personal stories, practical
insights, and creative solutions, Sadie marks a path toward
freedom from fear, anxiety, and comparison.
Written for teens by a teenager who has trekked through
these relatable struggles, Live Fearless shows readers how
God's plans begin with freedom and only get better from
there. Sadie equips young people to walk a very personal
and powerful journey with God, to learn to answer life's
questions with faith instead of fear, to live without
limitations, and to relinquish the effort it takes to try to
control the world around them. This timeless and crucial
message benefits from Sadie's fresh, vibrant delivery, and
young people will be drawn to her authenticity and
relatability throughout the book.

Gather together to welcome your new baby into the family and into
the church! This adorable little book is full of words from the
Bible and prayers, that a child can grow to treasure and makes a
wonderful keepsake book for the occasion. Share these words of
God's love with the child who is dear to you.
When God created the world there was a canopy covering the Earth.
Before Noah and the Flood, people and animals lived hundreds of
years because there was less radiation coming through the
atmosphere, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and all the
spheres around the Earth protecting us from outer space. Theodore
E. Bear, or "Teddy," as he was lovingly called, was created by God
and asked to protect children. As a creation of God, he could not
live forever. When he was in his 500th year of life, God saw the
beloved Teddy slowing down, but never tired by his work with
children. Instead of scampering like a cub, he sauntered like a
stately elder statesman, wearing a plaid vest and sporting a lovely
cane, made for him by one of his friends, generally one of the
Beaver's. God called to Teddy to chat and asked him to help to
create a stuffed teddy bear. This was a very special moment for
Theodore. He knew God didn't need his help, but he was with Him,
'as a master craftsman at His side, and daily His delight.'
(Proverbs 8:30) They worked together and created a new Teddy Bear
who would be given to children by their Mommy's and Daddy's who
remembered their own Teddy. God and Teddy knew the new Teddy Bear
they had made was perfect. God made sure the bear was huggable and
able to last through the years of childhood and beyond with a smile
that never wavered. We hope you enjoy The Legend of Theodore E.
Bear and love your own Teddy.

Minor Prophets God's Daring Dozen is the first children's picture

people today. This first boxed set contains: Haggai's Feast, which
teaches obedience and encourages courage Habakkuk's Song, which
teaches trust and deepens faith Zephaniah's Hero, which teaches
repentance and promotes righteousness Obadiah & the Edomites,
which teaches humility and offers hope Subsequent sets will include
Hosea, Joel, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Zechariah, and Malachi.

relevant today. These biblically faithful, theologically rich,
gospel-centered books teach truth, promote virtue, and inspire
faith in God and in His Son. The Minor Prophets offer major lessons
for all ages, and their timeless truths are now shared in story
book form for the very first time!
This lyrical adaptation of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 introduces young
children to the "Shema," a sacred statement of belief that has been
recited in the morning and evening through the ages, including by
Jesus Himself. "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you
today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk
about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your
hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes
of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:4-9 For centuries,
followers of God have started and ended their day by saying the
Shema, a five-verse passage in the book of Deuteronomy, as a
twice-daily reminder to love God with all of their heart, soul, and
strength. Written in rhyme for infants through four-year-olds,
Hear, O Little One is a colorful and creative adaptation of the
Shema. This innovative board book is intended to be read in the
morning and then flipped over and read in the other direction for a
different version at nighttime. Help your child develop a lifelong
love of God and a deep reverence for God's Word with this
one-of-a-kind children's book.
