How
Do Our Children Grow? Introducing Children to God, Jesus,
the Bible, Prayer, Church
By Delia Halverson
In
a very readable way, the author presents practical helps
for parents who want to intentionally nurture their children
in the Christian faith. Says Halverson, "We teach our
children intentionally or unintentionally. We either teach
them that our religion is important to us, or we teach them
that we don't place enough importance in our religious faith
to share it with them."

Parenting
in the Pew. Guiding Your Children Into the Joy of Worship
By
Robbie Castleman
The
most important thing a parent can teach a child is to worship.
For many parents, sixty minutes in a pew with a squirming
child or a sulky teen can seem like forever! Worship can
be the farthest thing from our minds when children are distracting.
Perhaps teaching to children to worship is hard for some
of us because we our selves did not have the experience
of worshiping as children. Or,, we were never taught how
to worship; only to "be quiet and be still." We
need to work at worship. With children, we often have to
work harder. This book offers practical helps.

 You
Only Die Once
By Margie Jenkins
With sympathy,
empathy and personal humor, octogenarian Margie Jenkins
has provided a handbook for preparing for something that--unless
the Lord returns soon--we all will experience. It is her
thesis that if one will deal with all the details associated
with inevitable death while one is able to do so, then one
can relax and live with a profound sense of freedom. Planning
ahead is a gift you give not only to yourself, but to your
loved ones. Facing the topic of death is difficult for most
of us. Recognizing people's different comfort levels, the
author beckons the reader into the subject with truly intriguing
and delightful ideas. Her sagacious wit turns this taboo
topic into a page-turner.
