*a passage of Scripture to ponder
*a short, encouraging reading
*the lyrics of a popular Christmas carol
Part One is focused on Christmas, and all that it means that Jesus has come.

You want your children to become Christ followers, obedient to His commands, and fruitful in their faith, but where do you begin? Though there isn’t a formula or prescription for raising godly kids, the things you desire for your family begin with heeding God’s instructions to remember and declare His faithful works to the next generation.
Bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons, along with her husband, Troy, are gratefully raising six boys on a firm foundation of God’s truth by preaching truth to themselves and their family daily. In this book, they invite you to join them in the holy work of training children to know and love God for a lifetime.
Foundations will help you direct your family one day at a time, as you explore twelve key truths that will help connect your children’s hearts to the heart of God. A simple, chapter-a-day format offers daily Scripture, thoughts, mediations, and discussions designed to equip you to guide your children with godly instruction.
Parents don’t just teach God’s truths because their children need to hear them, but because we need to hear them too. As you instruct your children, your own heart will also be shaped and formed by the truths of God’s Word–the only thing that can change someone from the inside out.

Walking In Truth In A World Of Lies
$15.99Add to cartYou and I are being lied to on a regular basis. In fact, our entire culture is riddled with duplicity.
Scripture warns repeatedly of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived?
There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver’s powerful lies: We must allow the “love of the truth” to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will we be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.
