The number-one cry of children's ministry leaders is the desire to teach kids the basics - the foundational truths of the Christian faith.

Teachers will be fully equipped to tackle tough questions and encourage children along the way.
Moms and daughters will be empowered to embrace the girls of grace God designed them to be instead of conforming to society’s mold of normal. As a mom of two daughters, Catherine understands how unique the mother/daughter bond truly is. A few years ago, she looked tirelessly for a Bible study to share with her tween daughter. Catherine found countless options for children and teens but very few for the tween age group—and none of these options were designed for moms and tween daughters to share together. Recognizing an unfulfilled need, Catherine wrote Becoming a Girl of Grace. Moms and daughters will take a closer look at some of the amazing ladies of the Bible and the character traits they model for modern tween girls. These women of yesterday have a lot to share with the girls of today! Dealing with mean girls and bullies, feeling left out, and learning to like oneself are not new social dilemmas. The Bible is full of examples of strong females who chose to follow God and pursue faith despite what was happening in their world and cultures.

The single greatest lesson parents teach their kids isn't anything they say--it's what they do. And while most parents would say they want to raise compassionate kids, they might be surprised to discover just how little they're actually modeling the behaviors they hope to pass on--qualities such as unconditional love, gentleness, forgiveness, patience, gratitude, humility, and more. In this unique book, Sami Cone shows parents a new way to look at molding their children, one in which focusing on adding good behaviors and attitudes is more powerful than eliminating bad ones. Grounding her advice in Scripture--specifically the twelve characteristics found in Colossians 3:12-17--Cone offers plenty of stories from her own life to show these principles in action. And she offers practical things parents can do right now to create a home and family that exhibits love, harmony, and generosity of spirit in a self-centered world.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.
Our Bible Fun Factory Lesson Plans are "the essentials". The lessons that every single Christian child between 4-12 needs to be taught. As we explore Genesis, we find out that God is creative and he appreciates when we are creative as well. Lessons Included: Lesson 1: God's Creation Lesson 2: Noah & the Great Flood Lesson 3: God's Promise to Abraham Lesson 4: Abraham & Sarah Have a Baby Lesson 5: Isaac & Rebekah Find Each Other We have 3 core beliefs when we create Bible Lesson Plans: 1) They should be EASY for the teacher to teach. 2) They should be FUN for the child. 3) They should actually TEACH the child bedrock principles of the Christian Faith and the Bible. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Each of the Lessons Include: -Materials List (Don't worry, nearly everything can be gathered up at a moments notice from your own house. For example, you might need to grab a big spoon) -Complete Lesson (Including our much loved "teaching script" that tells you exactly what to say!) -Scripture Reading (we put the scripture reading in the lesson, to make it easy!) -2 Games (Kids LOVE games, each game teaches an important element of the overall lesson and lets the kids get up out of their seat and move around. Typically one game is geared to young children 4-7 and another for the 8-12 year olds) -2 Intro Activities (These activities get the kids engaged in the lesson and help to fill the time as kids trickle in.) -2 Lesson Activities (These activities vary from object lessons, crafts, treasure hunts, and more) -Closing Prayer (Our closing prayers are each designed to leave the kids with a positive message and reminder of the lesson). Class Length: The lessons are designed to run for one hour, but can easily be expanded to cover more time if needed. Age Level: The lessons include age-appropriate activities, discussion, and questions for children ages 4-12. Equally effective with mixed age groups or single age classes. Prep Time: Each lesson was designed to be taught after only 5-10 minutes of prep time. You don't need to go around collecting craft materials or spending an hour before class getting organized. You can literally "glance & go". Denomination: Our lessons can be used by churches of all denominations, as the topics covered are truly the foundation of Christian faith. In addition, any Bible translation can be used.
Offering 52 weeks of lessons and materials on a bonus CD-ROM, this versatile program is built to be fun and effective at teaching children God's Word. Each lesson includes a story, discussion, a craft activity, Bible verse, and a prayer.
