Teach the Whys & Help Your Grandchildren Develop a Confident Faith

Okay, I know I have been posting a fair amount about my new book - Blue Dragons, Red Pandas, Hoopoes & More! Please bear with me today as I share a bit more about it - and a way for you to save money on the book or even get a digital copy for free!

As I wrote on my other blog today (grandmaswithheart.blogspot.com)- it absolutely is essential for us to tell the ones we love the "whys" - why we are able to believe God is real and trust the Bible with confidence. If we do not, we run the terrible risk of the day coming when they turn away from their faith. This is happening more and more to families across our country - maybe even to your family. If we do not equip the ones we love with solid reasons for why they are able to believe, when difficulties come there way they may turn from their faith. But, when we equip them with the "whys", we are helping them develop a confident faith.

My Book Store is Open

I have wonderful news! I now have a Book Store on this blog where you are able to get digital/pdf copies of books and resources to help you hand down the faith for just $5 each title! This means you will be able to get books and resources to equip you and use with the children you love to hand down the faith for less than you might spend at a fast-food restaurant.

Well, no matter which of these describes you, I am very happy today to let you know about a resource which gives you 52 lessons, complete with science projects, crafts and cooking activities to engage the children you love while also helping them learn about real people from the Bible, how those Bible people chose to walk with God and how they are able to do the same.

Make 2020 a Year of Handing Down the Faith Intentionally with Your FREE Kindle Copy of Generations Quest Cultivate the Faith!

When we hand down the faith, we watch for those unplanned opportunities to connect life with God, His Word and how we are able to know and walk with Him. But, we also need to plan opportunities to do these things in a very intentional and purposeful way as well. 

This is where Generations Quest Cultivate the Faith! comes in. This book provides you with 52 intentional, purposeful lessons complete with science projects, crafts, cooking along with Bible lessons, time to work with a prayer journal and teach your grandchildren/children why they are able to believe in God and trust His Word with confidence. I wrote this book to have something I would be able to use to engage my active grandsons in learning how to know, love and walk with God and I am so happy to let you know next week - December 23-27, 2019 you are able to download the Kindle copy of it for FREE!

Christmas 2019 - Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children - I'm Giving One Away December 1, 2019

You may have been wondering where my Christmas Picks were for this year . . . well, wonder no more. Each day for the next couple weeks, I will be sharing with you some items I highly recommend as gifts for the ones you love. I'm starting with a book written by me and my grandsons - because I really believe it is more than just a book; it is a tool to help your grandchildren ages four through 14 learn to know and talk with God for themselves and because it takes about ten days to get it once you order it, so if you want the print/journal versions, you will need to place your orders soon to have them in time for Christmas.

Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children is unique in two ways; first, it is specifically written and developed for children ages four through 14 to help them learn to pray by praying the Psalms back to God and secondly, my grandsons collaborated with me on developing, writing this book and by providing most of the illustrations!

The initial idea I (Lynda Freeman) had for this book was to write a resource to help my grandsons learn to be people who talked with God; so I took the reading schedule from my book; Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Grandparents & Parents, Too! and used it to form the basis for the book for children. Each week's passage in the children's book, matches the passage for the week in the book for grandparents and parents - making it a wonderful resource for families to use to read and pray through the Psalms for a year as children use this book and grandparents and parents us the other. Can you just imagine what it would be like to do this with the children you love?!

Each week's passage in Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children is written into three, age-level "nutshell prayers" . . . one with simple images non-readers will be able to learn and "read" so they are able to pray the Psalms, a simple prayer for beginning readers and a bit longer prayer for older children who read well. This is a book which you are truly able to give to your grandchildren/children ages four through 14. Look what people are saying about it . . .

Free on Kindle - Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Grandparents & Parents, Too!

In four days, on November 25, 2019, you will be able to download for free your kindle copy of Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Grandparents & Parents, Too! This book will guide you in praying passages in Psalms for yourself and for the people you love for 52 weeks. It makes an excellent book to add to your intentional grandparenting/ parenting resources as well as a gift which makes a difference for the parents and grandparents on your gift list. And, if you give the children on your gift list Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children, you will all be able to pray together through the Psalms for an entire year - what an amazing year this would be fore sure!

Christmas Resources Which Make a Difference - Don't Worry; It is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren

Today I am very happy to share with you another book written by one of the Grandmas with Heart which makes an excellent addition to your intentional grandparenting "tool box" as well as a great Christmas gift for the parents, grandparents and church leaders you know. Don't Worry; It is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren is written by me, Lynda Freeman.

If you have been reading this blog for very long, you know I LOVE being a grandma and I find great delight and joy in spending time with my three grandsons. In Don't Worry; It is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren, I write about how important it is to hand down a heritage of faith to our grandchildren. I write about not being afraid to love our grandchildren with our all - we will NOT spoil them if we do.

If we are grandparents, we may think our "job" is over, since we raised our own children. But our "job" is not over. IF we have grandchildren and want them to make the choice to love, know and walk with Jesus, we need to be focused and intentional when it comes to helping them understand how much Jesus loves them and they are able to love Him back. In Don't Worry; It is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren, you will find ideas, Scripture prayers, the thoughts of a grandma and her commitment to see her grandsons choose to love, know and follow Jesus as well as encouragement for you to love your grandchildren unconditionally, with all your heart the same way God loves you. When you follow His example of how to love, you will not need to be afraid of spoiling your own grandchildren. Look at what people have had to say about Don't Worry; It is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren . . .
