We all know that loss is the “great big sad” of life. Grief is
a journey we all take in life. How do parents and caregivers help
children navigate grief? The Great Big Sad follows familiar
siblings Josh and Mia (from Tell God How You Feel and God Hears
Your Heart) as they face the death of their beloved grandmother. It
is a discipleship tool for parents and caregivers in helping
children learn that people grieve in different ways, how to talk
about grief, ways to honor and remember a loved one, and how Jesus
knows and understands their tears.
Even good things can become idols if we give them central
importance in our lives. Having children changes everything, and as
mothers, we risk looking for life, purpose and meaning in
motherhood. While being a mother brings its unique set of
challenges, these years of raising children and helping them grow
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord provide an opportunity to
grow in our own Christlikeness as well. Writing from her own
personal experience as a mom, Christina Fox encourages mothers to
prayerfully and thoughtfully examine their own hearts, and to let
God use motherhood as a means of sanctification. Split into three
sections, the first chapter looks at the meaning motherhood;
chapters 2-4 are about idolatry; chapters 5-9 focus on a few
different idols that mothers might worship (not an exhaustive list,
but a common few); and the final chapters are about facing idols,
dethroning them, and turning our heart back to the One true God.
Chapter titles include: Part I 1. The Sanctifying Work of
Motherhood 2. Made for Worship 3. What is Idolatry? 4. Identifying
Idols in Our Lives Part II 5. The Idol of Children 6. The Idol of
Achievement and Success 7. The Idol of Comfort 8. The Idol of
Control 9. The Idol of Approval Part III 10. Turning from Our Idols
11. Turning to Christ
God Hears Your Heart continues the story of Mia and Josh, begun in
Tell God How You Feel. Mia and Josh are typical kids, dealing with
hard and difficult emotions all kids feel: anger, disappointment,
guilt, and failure. In God Hears Your Heart, they learn that God
wants them to tell Him about all their feelings. They learn that He
wants them to pray to Him and tell Him about how angry they feel
when someone says something mean or how disappointed they feel when
their plans get flipped upside down or how they feel when they fail
at something. Mia and Josh learn just how much God loves and cares
for them. This book is ideal for parents and grandparents who
desire to disciple children in their emotions. These read aloud
stories include thoughtful questions and discussion starters to
help parents teach their children to bring all their feelings to
God in prayer. God Hears helps children develop a lifelong habit of
bringing their emotions to the Lord, seeking Him as their refuge in
all their troubles and cares.
This book explores what the Bible’s teaching on men and women
looks like in practice and helps readers embrace God’s good
design as a path to true joy and lasting fulfillment.
For many of us, we might busy ourselves with projects or work long
hours to keep our mind off our pain. We might look at our
circumstances and seek to change our situation in the hope that we
will finally feel at peace once our life has changed. The question
is - How often do you look to God in His Word for help and hope?
How often do you turn to Him when you feel anxious, distraught, or
abandoned? How often do you bring your burdens to your Savior? Take
a journey of hope through the Psalms of lament with Christina Fox.
We learn from an early age how to navigate the difficult emotions
of life. Fear. Sadness. Worry. Loneliness. Rejection. For some of
us, we learn to avoid painful emotions. Others of us may “feed”
our emotions through various temporary distractions. Still others
may hide or cover them up. Yet the Bible teaches us to bring all
our hurts to God. Tell God How You Feel is a discipleship tool for
parents to use in engaging their children with their emotions. It
is designed to help children learn to bring their emotions to God
and tell him what hurts. It teaches them the process of Biblical
lament. In Tell God How You Feel, Christina Fox uses warm
encouraging story times to help children engage with the vivid,
descriptive words of the Psalms of Lament, helping them develop the
habit of turning to God during hard and difficult times. These read
aloud stories are ideal for family times with thoughtful questions
and discussion starters at the end of each story.
