The Secret Weapon

In Ephesians 6:10-18 we see a description of the armor of God, but most of us remember it only through verse 17. We talk about the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation. But, verse 18 tells us about our Secret Weapon-prayer! It encourages us to have this weapon with us at all times and on every occasion. This is the weapon that clobbers the enemy and leaves him wondering what in the world hit him. In the pages of this book you'll find lots of ways for kids to use their Secret Weapon. They are intended to tap into a variety of multiple intelligences so that kids can experience fervent prayer and understand the potential of their Secret Weapon.

Hiding the Word in My Heart

Scripture memorization is a holy habit that has huge benefits for every believer! Then, why don t we do more of it? There are several reasons. We ve never really become convinced of its value. The routine has never been established. It feels too BIG. And, we just don t know the techniques of memorizing that make it easier. When we do memorize scripture, we usually get it into our short-term memory, but never move it to long-term memory. This book offers help and encouragement to get started, or to get back into the habit.

Holiday Extravaganza

Connect 15 American holidays to Christ for kids in early and upper elementary grades with Tina Houser's Holiday Extravaganza. Includes activities and ideas to share with your kids that incorporate the celebration, but also directs them to the Scriptures. April Fool's Day can be a time to talk about Proverbs, what God considers wise and what He considers foolish. Earth Day becomes a time when we learn about bearing fruit in every season and that God is the One to honor on this day. Teach your kids at Halloween how God restores dry bones and gives them life! A year round teaching tool great for children's church or home use.

Unwrapping the Servant

Parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and childrens ministry workers are guilty of creating a world that makes kids think its all about them. We eat in restaurants that the kids choose. We go on vacations where they want to go. All our free time is spent around the sports and activities that the kids are involved in. Its no surprise that when kids are asked to name the needs they have noticed in their little world, they cant answer!Why is that? Its because they dont see them. Their eyes are focused inward, not outward. That needs to change! As you work on the many projects described in this book, you and your kids will have a blast serving others.
