Using the Truth and the Word of God is really all you need, but if you are like me and want something put together on a child's level, something to read at bedtime in small easy lessons, or perhaps are like I have been in that, you may not have been raised in church and really don't know how to deal with this issue with your children- then this book will bless your home! And- its good for all ages!
My 7 yr old and me got to be alone on a ride home tonight, very rare since he has FIVE siblings... but, he began to tell me that he didn't remember if he was saved. He remembered a night when he asked me to pray with him about something privately but he couldn't remember what the prayer was about. Well, I remembered, but he's the one that I needed to KNOW remembered! So- I talked a while to him about being saved, praying again, even pulling over right now, and about what happens to those who don't pray.
But- how this ties to the above book-
I've been reading it again at night (for the umpteenth dozenth time) to the kids. They use Scripture in this book, but I'm thinking there must have been some serious prayer and fasting by those who put this book together, because EVERY SINGLE TIME I've read this book to my children, at least one of them has been stirred, spiritually.
Now, I'm not just tryin' to sell you something. If I had money, I would buy all of these that I could find and GIVE THEM AWAY! - But, I just wanted to share it with you. Its been in our home for years and I can't even remember where it came from- but God has used it, over and over, to stir my children towards knowing Him personally as their Lord and Savior.
3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

I was blessed to find this book at Goodwill last year and have been using it several times per week. I figure it's got enough meat and my kids are young enough, that we'll be reading it over and over again.
Thanks for the info...I'll be getting this book as soon as I can!
Amy, I'm thinking mine may have came from Goodwill...just not sure, but boy was it a great find!
Kristina-
I think you will find it to be a real blessing! It takes children from "who God is" to "what sin is" to "what Christ did" to "their need for salvation". Its really good!
This book is actually included in Sonlight K and 1st grade curriculum. I didn't get the book but have been wanting it as well. Everyone says it is great!

Joy, I had no idea where it came from, but makes sense tht it comes from Sonlight! It is a VERY good book!
