I’ve been wanting for some time to write about my mom’s latest book Glimpses of God. It’s not a parenting book, but I’ve been enjoying it so much I wanted to write just a little about it.
This book is published by Regular Baptist Press, and is a traditional Bible study book in its format, unlike [...]

My husband’s parents purchased this book for us when David was a baby, the same book they used with their children. Originally published in 1962, it is doctrinally sound, has small enough lessons for a preschooler, and contains excellent questions for understanding. Each [...]

If you haven’t read Part 1 and Part 2, you may want to do so before reading Part 3.

Lee and I have been looking at curriculum options for our children’s church. I had looked at kids4truth awhile back, but couldn’t figure out what it was all about. A few weeks ago, I got back on and started looking around. I got really excited about this program, so I thought I’d pass it on. [...]
