Fathers, you have a brief--but powerful--window to help usher your son into manhood. Using this thrilling interactive fantasy adventure, you can engage your son at a critical point in his life: the transition into adulthood. Each day a brief imaginative reading immerses him in another world, inviting him to become the hero of his own journey. As he faces perils and enemies and discovers allies, this modern mythic tale guides your son (and you) through the dangers and joys of the teen years. He'll be taught classic virtues and how to appreciate godly leadership. He'll reflect on difficulties he has faced and be encouraged to dream big about his future. He'll experience the very real price of giving in to temptations, and he'll be primed to recognize the materialistic lures of the age. As you embark on this life-defining journey together, you can help prepare him for both the adventure and danger he must face on the road to becoming a man of godly purpose and conviction. "The dark days ahead will require strong men of character and confidence. If God has given you a son, it means He has entrusted you with the next generation of leadership. What a privilege! Let's make the most of it."--from the author, Dean Briggs Includes a link to a free Father's Field Manual for dads, stepdads, or mentors.

A delightful re-telling of the popular biblical story of Joseph

A delightful re-telling of the story of Joseph

A chapter book retelling the story of Jonah who felt down about his situation and tried to hide away. But God cares and never gave up on Jonah. God was always there to talk to and help him. A reassuring story to help older children reflect and talk to people they trust about Jonah's emotions and support available to them when they feel sad, including help from God. The 'God cares' series provides a Biblical approach to discussing emotions and behaviour with children to nurture an attitude of wellness. Children at different ages approach things differently in their stages of emotional development, so this series works at two different levels: illustrated Readers aimed at 5-7 year olds and Chapter books aimed at 8+ years. Please note that children progress at different reading abilities and stages of emotional development so the age ranges are only a guide for parents and carers. The Bible stories are retold reflecting on the emotions and encourages children to discuss and relate this within their situations. Sections at the back provide a reflective space for children and practical advice for parents and carers. Debbie Duncan, author of The Art of Daily Resilience and Brave, is a nurse and a teacher, and mother of four children. She has considerable insight into what constitutes resilience and bravery: the ability to cope, to stay on course, to bounce back. In her books she considers what is required for physical, mental, and spiritual durability, interweaving biblical teaching, prayers, with personal anecdote and sound advice. This she now applies specifically to support parents and carers raising children.

The Big Book of Animal Devotions teaches children about the wonders of God's creation while also using each animal to illustrate a character-development lesson straight from the Bible. Each reading includes a Scripture verse, discussion questions, and a concise nugget of take-away wisdom.
