When Sarah Roberts’s son, Oscar, was born, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with Down syndrome. Sarah had to rapidly come to terms with a new normal, as she suddenly found her life on a different path to the one she’d always hoped and believed she’d follow. For the Love of Oscar shares a mother’s real and very raw emotions as she comes to terms with that new path, in a story which is nevertheless both heart-warming and funny. Sarah writes candidly about the ups and downs not only of parenthood but also of parenting a child who just happens to have additional needs.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. (Mathew18:5) In this verse, Jesus explains that when you receive a little child in his name, He is the one you are receiving. Every child that walks through your door is your opportunity to prove how you would have pastored young Jesus had he been your sheep. As a pastor, you must inculcate in the children that church is a place where God is worshipped. The earlier we introduce children to God, the easier it is for them to accept Him as real.

I HAVE read this little Catechism with much pleasure, and think it deserves to be extensively circulated. It is an admirable compendium of Scriptural information on the Sabbath question, well digested, and arranged in a most simple form. May He who is the Lord of the Sabbath vouchsafe to it an abundant blessing. J. C. RYLE

Those animated, enthusiastic, faith-filled little members of your local church are your greatest resource. Children have boundless energy, lots of time, and strong faith that touches the heart of God. Considerable effort is spent teaching children the foundations of the faith. This book brings another perspective. Dian Layton challenges us to look at children as examples of what the Lord wants us all to be like. Rather than training children to become, Dian suggests that we release them to be who the Lord said they already are: great in the Kingdom of God. This book will show you how!

Imogen and Marie return through the door in the tree to a whole new Yaroslav. Miro is king but hates it. Anneshka is no longer queen...and hates it. When Anneshka hears a prophecy that she will rule the Greatest Kingdom, she seizes Marie, believing her to be key to fulfilling it, and heads over the mountains. Imogen and Miro chase after them in hot pursuit. But what they find in the lands beyond will change everything again, and see them facing dangers they could never have imagined, both human and otherwise.

This book outlines the history, calling, and ministry of Lorna Jenkins to children. Lorna Jenkins has implemented a new kind of ministry to children, integrating small groups (cells) with the larger Sunday service (celebration). Ralph Neighbor calls Lorna "the global expert in forming Inter-generational cell groups." But how did she gain that knowledge and what steps did God use to make her that global expert? This book explores how God has prepared and used Lorna to have an extraordinary influence on Christ's church through the development of children's ministry.

I guess when Psalm 150 in the Bible said, "Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord", it really meant everything! Frogs, birds, bees, chickens, ducks, and everything in between! Not in My Church is a fun tale about a small church that saw this very scripture come to life, literally! Ribbit! Ribbit! Bzz, bzz. Quack quack! Hmm, hmm! Bac bac bac bahkee! That church went from being a very quiet church where the people just come and sit to a church where they were jumping, running, shouting, and waving their hands! I laugh every time I think of their unlikely teachers!

When Anneshka’s hunt for the greatest kingdom brings her into our world, Imogen and Marie know it’s bad news. But Anneshka isn’t their only problem. Mum’s boyfriend, Mark, is sick and getting sicker, thanks to the monsters he accidentally carried home. Can the girls escape Anneshka and find a cure for Mark before it’s too late? Their quest will take them through the door in the tree and further than ever before, into the magical lands of Nedobyt beyond. But there is more to this kingdom than meets the eye.

Much has been written about pre-war France, but works written through the eyes of a child deserve critical attention. For many Frenchmen living through the German occupation, the War was tragic and filled with daily hardship that had no equal. A CHILD OF SILENCE tells the story of a family ripped apart by the German invasion, a mother trying desperately to survive, a father sent to fight a doomed battle, and an innocent girl torn from home and security to land in a Catholic orphanage. Written in 1953 and kept secret for more than forty years, A CHILD OF SILENCE reveals truths the Church ...

"AND he entered as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day." "And as he was wont, he taught them." "And went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives." "The Father... hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him." These were some of the habits of the Lord. He had habits, as each man must have, as God himself has; for do we not read of "the ways of the Lord"? Is this not ever the earnest man's prayer, "Show me thy ways, O Lord, teach me thy paths"? Indeed, it was to be the blessing of the latter days that they would fulfill this prayer. "And ...

The Bethany home is one of the most sacred spots in Palestine. There it was that Jesus found a shelter of love amid enmities and antagonisms. There his heart found rest after being wearied and hurt by the unbelief, criticism, and hypocrisy of the rulers. It is a joy to think of the comfort that he found in that sweet home, that there was one spot where he was sure of love, and where he knew that no hostile eye was upon him and no unfriendly ear was listening to catch him in his words. There were two sisters in that home. Both of them loved the Master, and both were dear to him. Each showed ...
