- Raising Respectful Children In A Disrespectful World by Jill Rigby. A resource for ALL parents. Amazing practical and godly instruction on raising our children from infancy to adulthood. How to be a coach, not a cheerleader. How to build boundaries, not walls. How to engage, not entertain. Focuses on character and relationships and principle-based decisions. (All Ages)
- Give Them Grace by Elyse Fitzpatrick. A book I only recently discovered and am utterly blown away with. This is a parenting book NOT do and don’t rules, but a passionate and practical guide to transforming our children’s lives (as well as our own!) with Grace and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (All Ages)
- The Jesus Bible Storybook by Sally Lloyd-Jones. Our very newest resource. This is not just a book of Bible stories, but a way of helping your children understand from their very earliest moments that the Bible is “66 books – 1 story” and that story is about Jesus Christ. Whether you’re reading about Noah and the Ark or Jonah and the Whale, this book will reinforce the message that Jesus IS the story of the Bible, the story of the world! (Ages 0-12)
