Teamwork is best

"Some people make a plan. But they do not ask others what they think. They do not ask others for ideas. So their plan will not work out. That is not the best way. The best way is to tell others your plan. Ask others what they think. Ask others for ideas. Be a team. Then the plan will work out" (Proverbs 15:22, The B-I-B-L-E).

Volume 3 in production

Just letting you know that I have approved all of the galley proofs for The B-I-B-L-E Volume 3. It should be available in early August. I pray that God will bless his Word as it goes out. May it help children grow to know God better and keep their lives pure and pleasing to him.

Kind words give hope

"Everyone has problems. But some people worry about their problems. They think everything is bad. They think there is no way out of their problems. They are very sad. Their problems feel very heavy. But kind words will help people feel better. Kind words will help them think about good things. Kind words will give them hope" (Proverbs 12:25, The B-I-B-L-E).

Proverbs teach people how to think right.

"These proverbs are important words. They teach people how to think right. They teach people how to do good things. They teach people to say 'no' to bad things. They teach people to understand important things" (Proverbs 1:2, The B-I-B-L-E).
The B-I-B-L-E Volume 3 is now being printed. Check for this new book in late July on amazon.com.

Give priority to ministry with children

"People's lives are shaped primarily when they are very young, making ministry to children the single most influential ministry any church engages in." --George Barna

We should give high priority to teaching children God's Word and how to apply it to their lives.

Faith

"Our sin makes us be far away from God. But the Good News tells us how we can be right with God. It tells us how we can be close to God. I will tell you how you can be saved. You need to know God is true. You need to trust in God. That is called faith. God’s Word tells us how that works: 'We need to trust in God. We need to have faith. Then we can be right with God. Then God will give us a new life. He will be the ruler of our new life. We need to do what is right. We will have eternal life. We can live forever with God' "
(Romans 1:17, The B-I-B-L-E).

Children reading God's Word!

I started this Bible4kids project so my grandchildren would be able to read God's Word as they were learning how to read. I was so excited this week to hear my oldest grandchild reading The B-I-B-L-E by herself and understanding it. She just finished kindergarten. I am more anxious than ever to get Proverbs and Romans printed in Volume 3. I have three more grandchildren coming up. They are now ages 6, 5, 4, and 3!
