In a world where many kids feel anxious, overstimulated, and constantly on the go, Dr. James offers families a calming, faith-centered approach to peace through prayer. His latest book, Deep Breath, Little Whisper (releasing February 10, 2026), introduces children to the practice of breath prayers, a simple spiritual habit that teaches them connecting with God can be as natural as taking a deep breath.

This beautifully illustrated story encourages young readers to pause and reflect, reminding them that God hears every word, sigh, and need. Through relatable everyday moments, the book shows that prayer does not need to be long or complicated to be meaningful; it simply needs to come from the heart. Parents and caregivers looking for Christian parenting resources, faith-based children’s books, or tools to help kids manage anxiety will find practical encouragement in this conversation.

“Prayer can meet children right where they are, in the middle of play, worry, or wonder,” says Dr. James. “As a pediatrician and a dad, I’ve seen how small habits of prayer can bring deep peace to a child’s heart.”

While many Christian children’s books encourage prayer, few highlight the historic tradition of breath prayers, a rhythmic way of pairing short prayers with intentional breathing. Dr. James offers a kid-friendly introduction that helps families experience spiritual connection together in daily life.

Serving as both a physician and church elder at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. James brings a unique perspective that bridges children’s emotional well-being and spiritual formation. As he shares in the episode, today’s world can feel fast and loud for kids, but intentional moments of prayer help families slow down, breathe deeply, and remember God’s presence.

Megan Dobson, vice president and publisher at Zonderkidz, describes the book as a meaningful resource for families seeking to nurture faith at home. She notes that its gentle approach helps children encounter God in everyday moments and carry prayer with them through both joyful and challenging experiences.

Tune in as Mike and Tricia explore practical ways parents can introduce prayer habits, support children’s emotional health, and cultivate faith in daily routines through conversation with Dr. Scott James.

Family doesn’t have to be perfect to be strong.

Every parent dreams of raising children who not only love each other but actually like each other. We long for a home that feels safe, welcoming, and filled with grace—a place our kids want to come back to, where mistakes are part of growth, and love is unconditional. But the reality of family life can feel messy, chaotic, and far from the picture-perfect image we imagine.

So how do you build a strong family culture when real life is anything but perfect? And is it ever too late to start?

Beloved author and speaker Jessica Smartt (Memory-Making Mom) joins us to share powerful insights from her new book Come on Home. With humor, honesty, and faith, Jessica reminds us that a thriving family doesn’t require flawless behavior, a Pinterest-ready house, or endless peace. Instead, it’s about intentional patterns, grace-filled discipline, and cultivating relationships that last.

In this episode, Jessica unpacks:

• 13 key characteristics—from prayer and friendship to loyalty—that build a strong, close-knit family
• Real-life examples and interviews with families of all backgrounds who are thriving in different ways
• Practical discipline strategies that hold boundaries while keeping connection intact
• Simple ideas to strengthen sibling relationships, teaching kids to support one another and form lifelong bonds
• Biblical wisdom for breaking unhealthy family cycles and creating a new legacy for your children

If you’ve ever wondered how to raise a family who truly loves being together, this episode will encourage and equip you. Whether you’re just starting your parenting journey or feel like it’s too late, Jessica reminds us: it’s never too late to give your children a foundation of grace, faithfulness, and love.

This week on the podcast, host Mike Nawrocki sits down with authors Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski to discuss their new book, Away Game: A Christian Parent’s Guide to Navigating Youth Sports.

Youth sports can be one of the most powerful arenas for shaping character and values. But for Christian parents, the question becomes: how do we transform the competitive sports field into a discipleship opportunity? This conversation explores how parents can help their children not only become stronger athletes but also grow as devoted followers of Christ.

Why This Episode Matters for Christian Parents in Youth Sports

If we as parents don’t take ownership of discipling our kids in the context of athletics, today’s sports culture will do it for us. Too often, the focus is only on physical training, wins, and stats—while opportunities for spiritual growth slip by. Away Game equips families to see sports through a biblical lens and to raise athletes who play with both excellence and eternal perspective.

Key Takeaways from Away Game

• Use sports to instill biblical values in children and teens.
• Keep joy, gratitude, and play at the center of every practice and game.
• Deepen parent-child connections through car-ride conversations and post-game reflections.
• Spark faith-based discussions about pressure, failure, competition, and teamwork.
• Counter toxic sports culture by modeling kingdom virtues like humility, self-control, and peace.

Transforming Sports into Discipleship

Away Game empowers moms and dads to embrace their role as spiritual mentors throughout their child’s athletic journey. From little league to high school sports, every practice, every game, and every post-game conversation can become a winning opportunity for spiritual formation and family discipleship.

Kateřina Dubová has always aspired to walk in her father's footsteps as a respected journalist, and the Second World War presents a unique opportunity for her to prove her worth to the world. A tip about an assassination attempt on a high-ranking Nazi official, Reinhard Heydrich, the "Butcher of Prague," leads Kateřina into the shadows of the Nazi occupation. Soon she discovers things are not as they seem.

As intrigue unfurls, Kateřina joins forces with Josef Loew, a descendant of the famous Rabbi Loew, renowned for creating a mystical guardian in the form of a golem to protect the souls of 16th-century Jews in Prague. In the chaos of war, some believe a new golem can once again bring help to those in need.

Like flickering candles in the abyss, Kateřina and Josef work to protect the innocent and end the evil that plagues their world. Yet, in their quest to save the Jewish people, have they inadvertently created a new danger? Could the very entity they had forged to protect become their greatest enemy?

Tricia Goyer writes out of her passion for God and her love for family and others. The author of more than 70 books, she writes both historical fiction and nonfiction related to family and parenting.

Critically acclaimed Centricity Music singer/songwriter Jason Gray debuts his first children’s book, Sparrows, based on his popular award-winning song by the same name. Drawing inspiration from this radio hit off his 2016 album Where the Light Gets In, Gray joined creative forces with noted children’s author Jes Woller and illustrator Hilary Griffith in the release of this heartwarming children’s hardcover book geared to kids ages three to eight. 

“I've always dreamed of writing a children's book,” declares Jason Gray, “And when Centricity Music offered to partner with me in that endeavor, I sat down with my friend Kory Henkel, Director of Marketing and Communications, to discuss which of my songs had a message that could translate well to children. ‘Sparrows’ was the obvious pick!

“From there we brainstormed about a storyline that would be age appropriate and meaningful, ultimately collaborating with co-writer Jes Woller, who has a real gift for speaking the language of children,” continues Gray. “The process resulted in the story of Ellie, a little girl who struggles daily with stuttering, and how she overcame her anxiety by trusting God with her worries and responding to bullying with love, kindness and compassion instead of retaliation.”

With a genuine heart for connecting with others and known for the compassionate honesty and authenticity he offers through his music, Gray drew from his own personal experience and shares that Matthew 6:25-34 and Matthew 10:29-31 are the cornerstone verses for both the song and the book, each addressing the theme of trusting God in the face of anxiety and worry. As a child, Gray struggled with a speech impediment, so incorporating this into the storyline of Sparrows was a way to share his own struggles in hopes of helping others.

Ellie wants to be an elephant in the Christmas play but her know-it-all sister says she’ll ruin everything. When Baby Jesus goes missing, Ellie must find him, or the play will be ruined (but not because Ellie is an elephant)!

Ellie thinks outside the box. She stands her ground and remains in her elephant costume even when her older sister—and director of this year’s Christmas play— demands she change into a sheep costume. The theme of standing up for your own uniqueness sends a subtle message to children that they can fit in anywhere if they persevere and don’t give in to peer pressure. Ellie’s approach to standing her ground is entertaining and empowering. There is also a teaching moment for the bossy sister who comes to see that everything doesn’t have to work out the way she planned in order to be wonderful. The Christmas Elephant is an ideal addition for family, preschool, elementary school, and community library Christmas picture book collections.

This unique holiday book is perfect for:

• Children ages 3-8
• Sharing the story of Christmas through a memorable narrative text and engaging, whimsical illustrations
• Christmas gifts, including stocking stuffers and church ministry outreach
• Inspiring discussion and dialogue with parents, grandparents, friends, and teachersChristmas celebrations, church ministry outreach, and Advent discussions
• Sparking age-appropriate conversations about Christmas, self-esteem, Jesus’ birth, and helping others.

Why doesn’t he act his age? Why does she behave so impulsively? Why does he have meltdowns so often?

There is always meaning behind behavior in all of us. It might be a behavioral reaction from something as simple as hunger or exhaustion. Or something far more serious – a triggered reaction to a traumatic, frightening experience.

Children who have experienced early childhood neglect or trauma are often greatly impacted in developmental ways. Children in foster care or who are given up for adoption often deal with these kinds of negative early experiences and it can be difficult to know how to help. People who teach–either in school or children’s ministry often see these youngsters’ behavior as confusing and don’t understand why.

In Caring for Kids from Hard Places, Jayne and David Schooler discuss the reasons behind why children and teens sometimes exhibit potentially disruptive behavior. Together, they offer practical strategies on training, equipping and resourcing staff and volunteers to provide a responsive environment for children with behavioral challenges. Caring for Kids from Hard Places includes:

• Insights on how to understand adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
• Principles for creating a trauma-informed environment
• Strategies for facilitating healing
• Tips on how to create a sensory-smart classroom

Discover how to better love children from difficult backgrounds and pave their way for a better life.

Even in Darkness is the fifth book in the High Water series and blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that both boys and girls ages 12+ love.

While diving in Rockport Harbor, Parker Buckman makes a terrifying discovery, haunting enough to keep him out of the water. His best friend, Harley Lotitto, has his own dilemma and needs Parker’s help.

Meeting Harley halfway won’t cut it. Parker will need to be all in—which can only mean trouble. Harley is in more danger than anyone realizes. His uncle Ray has cornered him into secretly finding recordings he’d hidden before going to prison. Evidence powerful enough to get Ray out of jail—and put a worse man behind bars. If Harley succeeds, Quinn Lochran will get multiple life sentences.

Lochran has a dark plan to make sure that evidence never sees the light of day. Ray’s “get-out- of-jail” ticket might just become Harley’s death warrant—and Parker’s, too.

Jelly and Ella know the boys are up to something. They want to help, but—unless the boys open up—they feel powerless to do a thing. They have a feeling that the boys are going to need all the help they can get . . . and they’re right. These friends have survived deadly situations together before. But this time escape seems more hopeless than ever. What do you do whenyou’re surrounded by darkness . . . and dawn will never get there in time?

Teach children that genuine faith in Jesus leads to a transformed life.

Zacchaeus was very short, very rich, and not very happy, but his encounter with Jesus changed everything.

In response to the grace Jesus showed him, Zacchaeus was transformed from the inside out. He repented, treasured Jesus above everything else, and showed kindness and generosity to others like never before.

Use this story to teach children that only following Jesus will make them truly happy and fulfilled, and that genuine repentance and faith is demonstrated by loving others.

When it comes to Christian parenting, we crave confidence, wisdom, and―most of all―peace.

We pray for peace when our little ones are tossed about by waves of emotions, for connection and confidence when navigating stressful mornings and exhausting nights, and for wisdom in knowing how best to discipline our kids. As Christian parents, we’re desperate to “get it right,” to raise our children to be strong, courageous followers of Jesus―and yet, despite the overload of endless advice at our fingertips, we often feel completely and utterly lost.

You can become the parent Christ has called you to be―and change your home and family from the inside out. In The Flourishing Family, Dr. David and Amanda Erickson offer a new parenting perspective―one that cultivates peace, gentleness, and confidence. Deeply rooted in Scripture and backed by modern neuroscience as well as insight into child development, their book will equip you to

• rethink common assumptions about what the Bible says about parenting―and align your parenting approach with the teachings of Jesus and your identity in Him,
• cultivate the inner peace needed to lead and guide your family with Christ, and His grace, at the center,
• critically assess various gentle parenting principles through a Gospel lens so that you can respond to your child with understanding and patience, honoring the divine image and unique personality God created them to have, and
• use compassionate discipline as discipleship to focus on the heart behind your child’s actions, addressing the developmental or neurological roots of their behavior rather than merely correcting or punishing their actions or choices.

Your legacy is not defined by your parenting perfection but by your commitment to follow in the way of Jesus and to trust His Spirit to cultivate the seeds you’re diligently planting throughout your children’s lives. Trust that He will meet you in these pages―and that He will transform your hearts and home.

Average Boy is here to make you laugh and encourage you in your faith!

The Average Boy series features humorous writing and whimsical illustrations to help readers embrace the idea that life isn’t always about being the smartest, most athletic, or best-looking kid in the neighborhood. Faith, family, and friends are far more valuable than being perceived as cool.

What happens when “Average Boy” Bob Smiley gets to the end of an above-average school year? Why, it’s time for an above-average summer, of course! If things go according to plan―and Average Boy always has lots of plans―then this summer will be his best one ever.

You see, Average Boy isn’t going to sleep in until noon this summer―at least not every day. No, he has big goals for the next few months. This summer is when Average Boy will finally build that tree house he’s been planning with his best friend, Billy. This summer is when he will brush his teeth every morning (as soon as he finds his toothbrush). And this summer he’s setting a goal to invite everyone in town to church.

There will be challenges along the way―challenges like Donny the school bully, or Sarah and Everley, who always seem to have water balloons in hand. But his biggest challenge this summer is the Huge Hairy Hisser, who lurks in the woods behind Average Boy’s house and seems determined to ruin his tree house-building plans.

It will definitely be a summer to remember!

Am I getting parenting right? Most parents at all stages find themselves asking this question.
Whether you’re sleep-deprived with a colicky newborn or navigating the emotional roller coaster of a teenager, parenting has its lows and highs, its confusion and clarity, its big blowups
and small victories. And no matter our family’s makeup or our children’s personalities, many of us experience anxiety over our children’s futures and often fear making a mistake.

Andy and Sandra Stanley are no strangers to this feeling. As parents of three grown children and cofounders of North Point Ministries, the Stanleys have spent decades teaching and
learning. They’ve counseled families, mentored others, and learned from mentors of their own, all while leading one of the largest churches in the country.

In Parenting: Getting It Right (Zondervan Books; January 17, 2023), Andy and Sandra combine their experience and wisdom into a guide that helps readers understand and live by essential
parenting principles.

Karen Stubbs is an author, speaker, and mom to four adult children. In 2011, she founded Birds on a Wire Moms, a ministry created to equip women with practical and Biblical truth. Early on in her marriage, Karen’s husband Greg served as a fighter pilot in the Navy. It was during those tough early years, while Greg served overseas during Desert Storm, that Karen grew in her reliance on God and gained a heart for teaching biblical truths to women. Full of practical advice and engaging stories from her own walk with the Lord, Karen Stubbs is passionate about challenging women to live out the truth of God’s Word in their everyday lives.

Birds on a Wire Moms
As moms, we constantly serve our families. We cook, we clean and we spend hours of our life in the carpool line. We stay up at night thinking, praying and, if we’re being honest, worrying
about our children’s well being. Our plates are full and our days are short.

There’s nothing we want more than to love and nurture our children, but we don’t always feel encouraged or equipped to do all that comes with the job. Often times, we feel alone. That’s
why Karen Stubbs created Birds on a Wire in 2011. Birds on a Wire is a ministry that provides Godly, practical advice so you’ll feel celebrated, encouraged and equipped to parent with confidence.

What started as a group of eight moms meeting in Karen’s basement has grown into an international ministry with thousands of moms all over the world. Birds on a Wire supports moms through the weekly podcast, Wire Talk, as well as small group studies available through Right Now Media and live speaking engagements all across the U.S.

Birds on a Wire Moms is for all moms. Moms who work out of the house or in the house. Moms who have a newborn to moms who are empty nesters. No matter where you are in the journey of motherhood, Birds on a Wire Moms is here to encourage and equip you.

What if women unraveled the evils of patriarchy?

With men safely "gentled" in a worldwide Liberation, the matriarchy of Nedé has risen from the ashes. Seventeen-year-old Reina Pierce has never given a thought to the Brutes of old. Itching to escape her mother's finca--and desperate to keep her training and forbidden friendship a secret--her greatest worry is which Destiny she'll choose on her next birthday. But when she's selected as a candidate for the Succession instead, competing to become Nedé's ninth Matriarch, she discovers their Eden has come at a cost she's not sure she's willing to pay.

Jess Corban's debut novel presents a new twist to the dystopian genre, delivering heart-pounding action, thought-provoking revelations, and a setting as lush as the jungles of Central America.

Jess Corban graduated from college with a degree in communications and, perhaps more instructive, thirteen stamps in her passport. After college, a chance interview at a small publisher for an even smaller position sparked a love for writing that turned into twelve nonfiction books (under various pseudonyms). Her debut novel, A Gentle Tyranny, was nominated for a Christy Award. She continues to write across genres from her home on the central coast of California. Connect with Jess at JessCorban.com.

God created an amazing universe! He designed and spoke into existence big things and small things and things in between, and all of it is meant to point back to him. The Size of Everything compares by size different parts of God’s creation with the aim of inspiring young readers to praise God for his power and creativity. It also highlights people as God’s most special creation and helps children see God’s love for them. The format of this book is unique in that it starts in the middle. As readers flip the pages to the left, they explore objects that get smaller and smaller. As readers flip the pages to the right, objects get bigger and bigger. From
quarks to poison dart frogs to redwood trees to the Milky Way galaxy, readers will be fascinated as they learn about God and his incredible world.

Alyssa Clements is a third-grade teacher turned book editor who loves learning about the fascinating world God has created and exploring how it all points to him. Alyssa lives in West Chicago, Illinois, with her husband, Forrest, and her two wonderfully curious children.

So daily sing your songs of praise, and pray your daily prayers. Keep looking with your HEART—you’ll see! God’s working everywhere.

He Is There is a creative, poetic, and interactive book that helps kids learn about the invisible but surprising presence of God. We can’t see God with our physical eyes, but He Is There uses poetry and flashlight fun to help kids look for the hand of God in creation and in their daily lives. This is also a fun way for parents and kids to calm down, connect, and have spiritual conversations before bedtime, story time, or anytime.

This book affirms the biblical truths of God’s sometimes seemingly hidden presence, his friendship, and his care in a creative and engaging way. We hope that the fun and novel storytelling format will lead to crossover appeal.

Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventures is a series of hilarious comic journals for preteens. Readers will follow 10-year-old Patrick as he draws silly comics about his weird life. Just how weird is Patrick’s life? It’s so weird that Patrick gets yanked out of his room and into the Bible! In each book, Patrick meets a different Bible character who acts as a tour guide through a portion of the Bible. For example, in this first book, Patrick meets Moses, who leads him on a journey through biblical events from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In his journal, Patrick records all of his bizarre Bible adventures (BBAs for short). Most of the journal covers Patrick’s weird daily life entries with flashbacks to a relevant Bible adventure. Of course, this journal has to be kept secret, as he’s convinced everyone would think he was crazy! To be clear, Patrick’s journal does NOT tell the real Bible stories. It’s about his Bible adventures. This is not a Bible storybook but rather a creative, humorous kid adventure that also teaches preteens about the Bible.

The book also introduces young children to the playfulness and fun of various forms of poetry, from senryu to villanelle. 

Look out! It’s a diaper volcano!
Forgive me for being abrupt.
There isn’t much time to explain—OH!
That thing is about to erupt!

This children’s picture book follows a sibling of a child with a disability as they go through their day. A simple story with an important message, Like Me helps kids recognize the many similarities they share with disabled kids and model a loving and understanding approach to the differences.    

 “God made you, God loves you, God is kind to you.”
 
It can be hard for children to take those three life-changing truths into their hearts and treat others with love and understanding, especially when they encounter those whose needs differ drastically from theirs.
 
Through a sibling’s eyes, young readers will tag along on a day of a child with a disability. As the two siblings play with friends, go to therapy, and spend time with family, relatable comparisons will help children understand a different type of family life, building empathy for children with disabilities along the way.
 
Like Me opens the door to meaningful talks with your child about empathy, compassion, diversity, and God’s love for them and others.

This children's book from the author of Color-Courageous Discipleship makes the God-inspired dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., accessible to all, helping kids and parents answer God's call to move from being color-blind to color-brave.

God created a world filled with vibrant variety—and called it good! From flamingos and crows to shooting stars and rainbows—to all our different shades of hair, eyes, and skin—God declared it all very good. Now God calls us to resist racism and proclaim with him how precious all people really are.

With lively rhyming text, this book takes young readers on a biblical and historical journey to discover more about beloved community. Drawing on the biblical vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it explores how we can create communities filled with God’s love as we delight in our differences, stand up to bullying and unfair rules, and declare with our lives and our love that everyone matters to God.

A feather may be found by your bed, near the couch, in the car, or even floating in the air. Feathers are often found randomly, but may not be random at all. "Feathers From Above," is a rhyming children's book that discusses how feathers fall directly from the wings of our very own Guardian Angels. These Angels are sent from God to watch over us throughout our lives, and their feathers are reminders that we have nothing to fear.

"Feathers From Above," was inspired by Kathleen's children. They would find feathers and tell her that their Guardian Angel must have paid them a visit. She knew right away that this would be the framework for her next book.

Kathleen is hoping to encourage children to be brave, know that they are loved, and remember that God is with them through good situations and bad.

Kathleen Davis is a retired teacher, wife, and mother of two. She has her masters in Elementary Education and spent her career searching for and reading good children’s books to her students. She believes that books not only provide a fountain of information, but are also a way to enter a new world and completely change a perspective. Plus, books are just good ol’ fun.

Acclaimed author Mitali Perkins grew up loving nature. As her family moved often, she learned to appreciate the beauty and variety of the natural settings of her homes in Ghana, Cameroon, London, New York, and Mexico. It wasn’t until age 12 or 13 that she became aware of natural disasters, and realized that the elements–fire, water, air, and earth, can  also be terrifying. 

Decades later, Perkins’ close friend lost her home in the Woolsey/Malibu fire in 2018. The loss brought back her childhood questions. Why are we, as humans, at war with the elements? Why do we neglect the care of them—the very essence of ourselves and the home God created for us? For comfort, Perkins turned to writing. 

The result was The Story of Us, a poem-turned-picture-book that tells the biblical redemption story in a new way, by centering the four elements: air, water, earth, and fire. At the beginning of all things, Creator uses the elements to make humans. When creation falls into chaos—resulting in greed, war, and devastation—Redeemer comes as a baby, growing up to use air, water, earth, and fire in seemingly small ways to heal and serve. Next, Restorer arrives, calling us to care for the elements as we wait for the day when lasting peace will come between them and us.

Perkins’ lyrical message is brought to life by the luminous art of illustrator team Kevin and Kristen Howdeshell. It’s a thought-provoking work that invites readers young and old to ponder our own relationship to nature and the Divine.

Remember this, a simple song, and lift your voice and praise!
In this beautifully illustrated board book, Lauren Chandler’s lyrical lines encourage us that in the day or in the night, wherever we go, we can praise God continually.

With lyrical rhyme and quirky illustrations, The Boy from the House of Bread shares the story of Jesus’ ministry in a compelling way, through the eyes and voice of an African boy. Walk with Alex through his bustling first-century world as he watches Jesus multiply bread and hears Him tell stories about loaves and call Himself the life-giving Bread. This recurring symbol fascinates both Alex and the reader, leaving children ages 4 to 8 (and the adults who read with them) thinking differently about not only the bread on their plates but the Man who makes miracles happen.

Anger can show you what's deep in your heart. 
Naming that feeling can bring a fresh start. 

Alex is angry. His teammate won't pass him the soccer ball, no matter how often he calls for it, which is not fair! Thankfully, Coach Ryan knows how to tame the "fireballs of anger" that rise inside us, and he helps Alex do just that. 

With this relatable story, authors Dr. Josh and Christi Straub show how anger is a secondary emotion, covering up deeper feelings such as embarrassment, betrayal, grief, or fear. Alex's story offers practical and biblical wisdom for how to help children manage their anger while uncovering the emotion behind it. 

Dr. Josh And Christi Straub are speakers, authors and marriage and leadership coaches. Together, they lead Famous at Home, an organization equipping families and leaders to be famous at home, so
they can thrive on their stage. 

Both Fellows of the Townsend Institute for Leadership and Counseling, together they host the weekly “Famous at Home” podcast, write children’s books, including “What Am I Feeling?,” “What Do I Do with Worry?” and “25 Days of the Christmas Story.” Josh and Christi also recently released a new book called “Famous at Home: 7 Decisions for Putting Your Family Center Stage in a World Competing for Your Time, Attention, and Identity.”

Josh and Christi love spending time on the lake with their three sweet kids, Landon, Kennedy and Micah, and their feisty goldendoodle, Copper.

STOP just doing songs and START leading worship by making disciples who know what it means to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.

No matter our age, each one of us was designed to praise, and for our praise to shift the atmosphere and usher in freedom and deliverance. Our worship is a sacrifice unto the Lord-this includes the praises of children. It's powerful. It's beautiful. It's sweet. Can you imagine children singing out, with their whole hearts, praises to their King? It's quite possibly the sweetest sound you will ever hear! It matters. Jesus himself said, "From the lips of children and infants, you, Lord, have called forth your praise." (Matthew 21:16)

This book is full of prophetic, practical, and power-filled truth. It will change the way you view kids worship, as well as your own ability to lead. By using examples from the life of King David, as well as her own personal experiences, Yancy is purposed to empower you to raise up kids who desire to live a life of worship on a daily basis, not only on Sundays. This is about their future. Are you ready to be a part of that?

Yancy is a worship leader, songwriter and producer of hundreds of songs that make Jesus loud. Her Dove Award winning music is all the things kids love and everything adults value. She is a powerhouse at leading and teaching kids from birth to preteen how to worship, and creates popular worship resources for churches and homes around the world. Yancy is a passionate advocate of raising disciples to worship. She recently authored the book “Sweet Sound: The Power of Discipling Kids in Worship”. Because of her passion to serve the Church she created “Heartbeat”, a curriculum to teach kids the heart of worship. With a family legacy of children’s ministry, her authority and PK perspective help encourage and champion the Kidmin community that the seeds they are planting will reap a harvest that will go on to affect families for generations. Yancy lives with her husband and two sons in Nashville, TN.

The book of Psalms is full of wonderful passages that illuminate the intimate connection we get to have with our Father. Despite the chaos of our busy lives, the Father is frequently whispering to our souls to spend time with Him. As you read Restore My Soul: The Power and Promise of 30 Psalms you will receive revelation and insight from best-selling author Laura L. Smith on the beauty of connecting with God through His Word. Dive into the power of the Psalms and be inspired to praise God every day.

• Showcases 30 popular psalms and the timeless truths and emotions they reveal about our daily lives

• For women who are longing to deepen their faith

• Explores popular Bible themes to encourage you to participate in spiritual development

Laura L. Smith has been searching her whole life for beauty. Not in the world—there’s plenty of that—in the crimson of a cardinal’s feather, in the sound of waves crashing along a shore, in the melody of a Beatles’ ballad, or in a Chagall stained glass window. The world is filled with beauty, but for her that was another story. It took her years to discover her true beauty, to fully grasp she is made in the image of her Creator, and therefore, she is beautiful. The incredible thing is…so are you. You were marvelously made by God to inspire awe. No matter what the world tries to tell you, no matter what you try to tell yourself. No one can rob you of the incredible true identity God instilled in you. Smith tells stories (through books, blogs, and speaking) in hopes of helping you discover what took her so long to see: your beautiful true reflection in Christ. Smith lives in the college town of Oxford, Ohio with her husband and four kids.

Parents want their kids to grow up and live emotionally, relationally, and spiritually healthy lives. More and more kids today are struggling to live this dream. As they go through life, they encounter people and situations that lead them to pack and carry some enormous emotional baggage that holds them back from living in the grace and freedom that Christ provides. Parents are in a unique position to help their kids "lighten the load" along the way. BAGS helps parents become aware of the specific bags kids tend to pack as they grow up, how these bags tend to get packed, and the long-lasting negative impacts they can have. BAGS also offers practical strategies parents can employ to leverage their influence and prevent some of these bags from getting packed in the first place. The hope is that we can lead our kids into a more stable and healthy future.

In Hunter Beless’s delightfully whimsical picture book, Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It!, multiple diverse families grow in their knowledge of and love for the Bible in four simple ways:

As the characters read, see, say, and sing the Bible, they learn that God uses His Word to speak to us, mature us, help us fight sin, and expand His kingdom. Young readers will understand that as we study, memorize, repeat, and declare Scripture, Jesus is glorified, and our lives are changed forever!

 We live in a vibrant, colorful world, and though we enthusiastically teach our children the hues we find in nature and in the objects around us, we often find it difficult to teach them about the beauty of different skin tones. 

Dr. Lucretia Berry, founder of Brownicity—a learning community dedicated to education and advocacy for antiracism—is often asked by parents, teachers, and caregivers how they can best approach this conversation with kids. In response, she created a fun and interactive tool that provides children and their adults a way to brave the shift from color blindness to color consciousness—HUES OF YOU: An Activity Book for Learning About the Skin You Are In (WaterBrook; on sale 1/4/22). 

Filled with lively and bright full-color illustrations by Adia Carter, the book’s drawing and writing activities are divided into four main sections—Hues of You, Hues of Your Family, Hues of Your Ancestors, and Hues of Your Friends. Each page gives kids space to explore their identity in a variety of social contexts and to celebrate the diversity of skin tones in the world around them. 

Adults who have felt hesitant or unprepared to talk with the children in their lives about skin tone, race, and ethnicity will find that Hues of You is the perfect starting point. With this engaging resource, they can help lay the groundwork for a more positive, affirming, and inclusive world.
