How many of us can say that we truly built our house of love on Biblical love? Even in the best of houses there is always room for improvement, but I would say that most of us need some help in our marriages. Loving Your Husband by Patsy Loden is wonderful! I thought my marriage was fine until I looked into the mirror of the Word using this book as my guide. I have learned so much with this book. I highly recommend it to all wives! Click here to order Loving Your Husband from Publishing Designs! Teacher's manual also available.
Click here to order the video lessons and other Loving Your Husband materials from World Video Bible School! Recently, I shared with you some links to Cindy Colley's Digging Deeper study plan. Already this plan is generating some very good discussions on their Facebook page. It's not too late to join in! This past week, Cindy was a guest speaker on the Come Fill Your Cup pod cast. You can listen to the podcast and learn all about this plan to feast on God's Word!
Come Fill Your Cup – with guest Cindy Colley This site has been under construction and they recently unveiled it! World Video Bible School was begun 1986 by some kind-hearted individuals. I have met these folks personally and they are genuine Christians trying to spread the Gospel. WVBS offers a school for preachers, material for learning and teaching Bible classes and now has produced a full-length movie which is due out in September. One of their teaching materials is "Searching for Truth." This is a DVD with lessons for teaching the lost. Workbooks that accompany the DVD are also available. Check out this website for some wonderful material for learning the Word!
World Video Bible School I just found this great new website with some good things on it for kids. I plan on using the Kings Chart. We have been reading through the books of Kings and Chronicles and I really wished I had a visual chart on which kings were when and which kingdom. Well, they have one on this website! I hope they add more in the future! Check it out!
NTheBeginningGod.com - Kids This is a series of books you may not be familiar with. Apologetics Press has done a wonderful job with these learn-to-read readers targeted for children ages 3-6. There's "Bats, Cats and Rats," "Birds, Bugs and Bees," "Dogs, Frogs, and Hogs," "Ducks, Bucks and Woodchucks," "Fish, Fleas and Flies," and "Goose, Moose and Mongoose" (not pictured). The insides are beautifully illustrated with photographs and cartoon characters. Of course there's a huge emphasis on God and His Creation. The titles are fun and my kids just want to pick them up and read them because the covers are so engaging. The set of six (or each individual book) is available at Apologetics Press Store, so get yours today and continue instilling creation in the hearts and minds of your little ones!
Do you want to memorize scripture with your kids, but have a hard time finding the time? Do you find they learn well by singing song? Most children I know learn the books of the Bible with singing, so why not scripture as well? Hannah's Hundred was born through this need to help little children learn the Word. These songs are great! Arranged and sung beautifully by the Colley family - a cappella of course - these are wonderful to 'pop' into the CD player in the van on even short trips or while fixing supper. You'll be amazed how these songs work their way into little hearts! Not long after listening, my son began to whisper the entire verse to me when just a part was mentioned in a sermon. I find the verses spilling out of me during ladies Bible classes or teaching teens or children as well. Each CD focuses on a different set of 100 songs. If you'd like, you may request a list of the scriptures in each CD, from the Colley's, so that you can have a paper copy of them. They are so easy to sing along with! Even the least of the musically inclined can join along fairly quickly. Number 4 is probably my favorite! It takes you through the entire book of James! Our family started this and made it through the first chapter before life took us other directions. It is my plan to return and finish one day. These CDs are such a blessing! No home striving for heaven would be complete without them! You can find them at the Colley's website, Colley Books.
These books are great! Alex Plays in the Garden, Alex takes a Boat Ride and Alex takes a Hike are three books written by Brad Harrub and his two sons, Will and Reese. They are wonderful for teaching little children about God's world and His book. Here's what the back of Alex Plays in the Garden says about this book: "The authors invite you to join Alex the Stegosaurus, and his friend Riley, a Triceratops, and learn for yourself. These early reader books are designed not only to help young children learn to read, but also present an accurate portrait of popular Bible events. Join Alex and Riley as they describe the Creation account in its simplicity and power." We love this book! The pictures are just beautiful. As you go through the book, a letter will stand out and you'll quickly see that a different letter is featured occasionally. These letters are going through the alphabet, so you can teach about the alphabet at the same time as learning Biblical concepts. Alex Takes a Boat Ride is a trip! Join the animals as they practice Tae Kwon Do and play pirate games on board the ark with Noah! And Alex gets to enjoy chocolate-dipped bananas on board too! Children get to see how the world was changed as well. Here's what the back of this book says: "Join Alex, the Stegosaurus, and his friend Riley, a Triceratops, to learn about the animals and Noah's grand adventure about the ark. These Early Reader books are designed to not only help young children learn to read, but also present an accurate portrait of well-known Bible events. Join Alex and Riley as they share how God saved Noah and his family, along with the animals-including the dinosaurs!" Unfortunately, our family doesn't have Alex Takes a Hike, yet, but I'm sure it is just as good as the other two! Join Alex and Riley as they witness Abraham's obedience in his willingness to offer his son, Isaac, for a sacrifice as God told him to do. I don't know if there are more planned for this series, but if there are, children will love them all for sure! But wait! That's not all! There's also an Alex Coloring Book for your aspiring artist! Children will enjoy coloring Alex and Riley and all their friends!

My kids LOVE this video! Nite, Nite with Franky & Mr. Scott teaches children Bible stories with a whole lot of FUN! Stories like Jonah, Dorcas, 10 lepers, Zacchaeus and others. Franky often gets things all mixed up and Mr. Scott has to straighten him out!
Honestly, sometimes my kids get to laughing so hard at Franky's confusion, I wonder if they are learning at all! Nite, Nite with Franky and Mr. Scott is hilarious fun for the whole family. AND yes they do learn from this video. :) |
