I did one last year with Sarah and got $200 in free books and $150 in half-price books. <br /><br />Usborne is not a Christian company, though they do carry a line of Bible story books. They also have excellent educational books and learning tools for kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-42190499802662516362007-01-30T17:41:00.000-06:002007-01-30T17:41:00.000-06:00Thanks for the recommended blog.

He is interviewed by Family Life Today and it is well worth it to listen to. Especially since I came from a "say a prayer" background. <br /><br />However, I can recommend his books "Wasted Faith", which deals with the topic of what false faith looks like (I hope to post on that book particularly) and also "Led by the Spirit" which deals with discerning the Lord's will for your life. All of his writing is very clear and he can convey in a few short chapters what other books would ramble on about for hundreds of pages!<br /><br />As a complement to witnessing, his "Pursuing God" is great for unbelievers. It is a small book and we have it free at our church to give out. One of our good friends came to Christ after reading this great resource.<br /><br />Currently I am reading a book about George Muller that Jim's publishing company reprinted. It was out of print and he got the rights to republish it. He lives very similar to Muller, who survived only on donations to the orphanage. Jim doesn't charge a fee to speak, and as I mentioned before, sells his books at little or no profit to himself. He lives off the Lord's prompting for others to give to his ministry. He has some amazing stories to tell about God meeting needs at the last minute or in unconventional ways.<br /><br />So does that give you a good place to start? Maybe this response should have been a post in and of itself!Donettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695632521945765772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-12362761294243756002007-01-29T17:24:00.000-06:002007-01-29T17:24:00.000-06:00Sounds GREAT!

We've read through the abc Memory Verse Program and The Gospel for Children. We are re-reading that second book with our younger son.<br /><br />Another idea we gleaned last summer was to read through the Bible with your children on a 7-year plan. The first year you can read through the Psalms and Proverbs, the second year add the New Testament, and so on. <br /><br />We are currently reading Proverbs along with Wisdom and the Millers, which provides practical stories that are based on various Proverbs passages. Our boys have enjoyed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
