Our sponsor for this week is Robin Koury who has written Answers for New Christians. Tia, HSB's hard-working Sr. Editor, will choose two lucky bloggers who will each receive a copy of this book. Here is the story behind how the book came to be.
The Answers For New Christians Story
by Miss Robin
Don't you just hate it when you are reading something to a child and their eyes glaze over? That's what kept happening to me as I tried to disciple the New Christian kids at my church. So I switched curriculum. Again and again. One was too preachy. Another had tiny print. Still another, doctrinally incorrect. What could I do?
Finally in a fit of frustration one Sunday night, I laid my storebought book aside and started telling the Bible story to my student. I drew little stick figures and rough pictures. I even invented a little buddy, Bic, the Baby Christian. Bic's name is an acronym for Babe in Christ. My student was delighted and I was too!
That was only the beginning. Under the direction of my Children's Minister (the late Connie Record) and my Pastor, Dr. Anthony Jordan, I kept teaching and refining the material. In 1998 I founded Little Light Press and published the first print run of Answers For New Christians.
Today Answers is in its second printing (the new Keepsake Edition). I thank God that Answers For New Christians is a helpful resource for parents and ministry leaders all over the U.S.
This book retails for $14.95 and can be purchased at the Salvation Kids website. You can look inside the book, too! I'll see you again next week with a new sponsor ... I wonder who it will be?
