Jun. 8, 2006 - Scripturally, Historically, Theologically
It has been on my heart for over a year to reach families with a message. There is a great book called "Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions". I think the name says it all. It is written by George Barna. Check out www.barna.org. He has really refueled my passion to reach parents. He talks about how parents and churches are failing our futures by not teaching the scriptures through theology and as history. Too often church is too fun, and it's almost like a romper room. Our children are now associating scripture as stories, and not history. I am enjoying seeing parents have their lights turn on. I am biased as a rep, but NestFamily has taught this goal with such success. Having a great tool that is visual, auditory, and hands on, I can tell you I am so amazed at how much scripture they have learned. However, without tooting my own horn, I will say that my DH and I play a large roll in this as well. We go over theology, and the history of scriptures. My 6 and 10 year old are learning about the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. I also highly recommend the Heart of Wisdom studies. We are going to use the Adam to Abraham study starting in Sept. We have used others from there. Well, I have to run and do some errands. I am looking forward to some feedback.
