Imagine what it would be like an Artic winter where, for three months, world was in complete darkness.
The winter was dark and there was a spiritual darkness too. But, this spiritual darkness was being pushed back by the power of the Gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ that Jack Turner followed.

Christian parents want their children to have an internal biblical compass—strong convictions—that will guide them through life. Parents make rules and give instruction to guide outward behavior, but how do they teach a child’s conscience, mind, and heart?

Beeke provides six principles from Proverbs 23 that will guide you in building convictions in your children.
Of all of the possible curriculum choices used for the education of our children, the most important textbook of all is that which God Himself presented in the book of Proverbs.

Sometimes the many tasks of homemaking and motherhood seem unending, and many moms wonder if they will ever feel productive.
Author Esther Engelsma says moms can feel productive—if they change the way they think about their work. She helps readers understand that God’s goal for moms is not centered on getting things done. Rather, God wants them to use time well, grow in sanctification, and glorify Him. With a warm, friendly style, the author shares from Scripture and practical experience the freeing truth of God’s purpose for moms and their valuable kingdom work.
Many churches have an official process to join their membership. Is this really a biblical practice? The authors show that the Bible assumes the necessity of formal church membership so that we can fulfill the commands and apply the promises given to the church.

In Let the Little Children Come, Scott Aniol strives to convince church leaders and parents that children best grow into faithful, mature worshipers of Jesus Christ when they are led to Jesus by their parents in the context of intergenerational church gatherings and in daily worship at home.
