Book Description
Confused and Curious have a lot of questions about what they learned at church today. The teacher told them that Jesus died on a cross to take their sins away, and Confused just doesn't understand what this means. That's why he goes to Mom for help. Curious listens in while Mom gives Confused the answers to some really hard questions about Jesus. Mom saves the day by keeping it all simple. The story ends with a prayer that helps Confused and Curious find new names: Faith and Trust! This book is perfect for kids that are preparing for communion and baptism. It's also a friend of children who just want more answers about who Jesus really is. Salvation, forgiveness and other spiritual mysteries are explained with the simplicity of a child. Preface: When kids ask about Jesus, we often tell them things like "Jesus died on the cross for your sins" or "Jesus took our sins away." These can be confusing truths for children. As well, we often skirt the uglier truths about what happened to Jesus as he walked the Earth. We do so for fear that these truths are too much for a child. Yet, we've already let the cat out of the bag when we tell kids Bible stories that are unavoidably gritty, graphic and a quite more than rated G. I have found that may kids have little more to say than "Jesus loves me" when posed with the question "What does Jesus died for you mean?" I have long felt their brevity is the outcome of our dodging the good, the bad and the ugly of such questions. We mean well in our efforts to protect a child's innocence, but I have learned that there is fallout for this. Children are getting baptized, receiving communion and are participating in other sacraments with much prepared hearts but less ready minds. It doesn't have to be this way. Children can have a deeper understanding of the mysteries presented to them through God's word and His church. We don't have to be afraid to give the whole story, and we don't have to assume that kids can't understand the unabridged version. Children are asking the really hard questions. and they are ready to welcome these truths of God's kingdom like a child. It is my prayer that Jesus for Kids will help children dig a little deeper, straighten confusions, and address questions (as well as fears) about who Jesus is. By the grace of God, I pray they will receive revelation, peace and truth.

Mercy for Today
Author: Jonathan Parnell
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1535959266
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
You cannot make it without God’s mercy. Do we just need God’s grace in dark and shameful moments? Are prayers for mercy only for those times when we really mess up? Jonathan Parnell says we need God’s mercy all the time. In fact, contrary to many church cultures, Parnell shows that asking God for mercy should be as regular as asking God for our daily bread. There’s no doubt that David was in a terrible predicament when he first prayed the words of Psalm 51. It was a dark and shameful moment in the Bible, and one so dark and shameful it seldom feels relevant to us today. But David’s most desperate prayer is really a prayer for all of us—and not just for our worst moments, but for our every moment. In these pages, you'll discover: how to pray a daily, memorable prayer derived from Psalm 51 how to practice daily repentance and soul care how to pursue God and experience his joy in the Christian life This is God’s mercy, and it’s Mercy for Today.
