Parents: Begin early to implant Christian values into
the lives of your children. They need to know how
God would have them live their lives in a dangerous
world, where temptations and self-centeredness abounds.
Each poem addresses an important phase of life and
instructs how to please God, following His rules,
assuring His blessing and help. Discover what rewards
He will give to those who faithfully love and serve Him.
The poems are short, in language they can understand.
If too hard, an adult should be on hand to discuss the issue.
Parents decide when and how to introduce each title,
Alerting the child that he (she) can refer to this book
all through their lifetime...teen years, adulthood and old
age (older readers will also profit). King James Bible
references are listed for each subject, to be studied
for further emphasis. Those included are not all that are
found in your Bible...look for others!
***"I desire that you be filled with the knowledge of
His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:
that you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God." Colossians 1;9,10 ***
