Doodle Your Day Doodle Your Day introduces your child to micro journaling: journaling in small bits. From drawing today’s weather to sketching what made them laugh on International Moment of Laughter Day, kids will love exploring their imagination with such an immense variety of topics. The occasional topics that repeat themselves through the year (what I ate for lunch and what I learned today), will add historical life reference points to this one-of-a-kind illustrated keepsake. Doodle Your Day is not strictly a doodle book. Occasionally, your child will be encouraged to paste or journal using the “wacky word of the day” in a sentence. Doodle Your Day is an easy, appealing way to expand your child’s creative juices. And with 365 doodle and journaling prompts for your young artists, Doodle Your Day makes micro journaling easy. Ages 8 and older. Note: If you are fussy about what you hand off to your children like our family is, you will find that a few Doodle Your Day exercises may warrant skipping.

Long Story Short: Ten-Minute Devotions Families are busy, and home school families are among the busiest. The responsibilities of keeping up with the local public school and homeschool groups weigh heavy on us. If we fail to match (if not exceed) others academically, we suspect that they know and suffer for it. But who asks about the spiritual health of our children? This seemingly optional subject is the one for which God will indeed hold us accountable. Teaching the Bible can seem overwhelming. Especially when you understand the importance of teaching our children how every story in the Old Testament points forward to God's story of salvation through Jesus Christ. But Long Story Short makes it easy. It chronologically teaches seventy-eight of the main stories of the Old Testament in a way that is memorable, faithful, and practical for Christian living. Ten minutes a day, five days a week, Long Story Short is the family devotional program designed to explain God's plan of salvation through the Old Testament. Three days are spent on that week's story. One day is spent seeing how this story points to Jesus. On the fifth day, another Bible passage is read to see what it teaches about Jesus. Long Story Short is doctrinally sound, Christ-centered and full of gospel grace and hope. Simple enough to transform the hearts of every listener, Long Story Short confronts us with our desperate need for His grace. This gospel-saturated, God-centered devotional is suitable for children from preschool through high school. Features View a sample here!

We got by, but this resource would have helped us so much. I envy the parents who will have it available to them. It is simple, interactive, and faithful to Scripture. It avoids the pitfalls of moralism that is prevalent in much of the children's Bible literature today. Marty insists that you and your children meet Jesus and see the gospel of grace in every story.

Cat & Dog TheologyYou’ve read a mountain of parenting books, and the best ones are not only engaging, but inspiring as well. However, many of the best, while stirring your soul, muddle your mind. What you want is a how-to book, but not one that leads to a household of self-righteous, pharisaical children. How do you teach your children the right thing to do, without them thinking their righteous deeds are enough? Cat and Dog Theology is the place to start. Cat and Dog Theology has been developed to help children both ponder their relationship with God and understand the importance of living a life that glorifies Him, or as the curriculum states, a life that makes God famous.Cat and Dog Theology utilizes the recognized aloofness of cats to cast them as the self-centered villains in this curriculum. Dogs on the other hand, with their relentless desire to please their owners, are the heroes. Every lesson will have your child asking himself if he is more cat-like, living to please himself, or more dog-like, living to please God.The Cat and Dog Theology K-2 curriculum set is a one- to two-year course designed to teach your children what godly obedience looks like while also introducing them to global missions. This simplified introduction to Cat and Dog Theology uses two coloring cartoon books (one for obedience inside the home and one for obedience outside the home) that illustrate the extremes of behavior, sly and cunning disobedience or enthusiastic obedience that brings God glory. In conjunction with the coloring books, Cat and Dog Theology K-2 includes a collection of short stories, I Heard Good News Today, that features stories of faithful Christian men and women spreading the gospel across the world. Short read-alouds, these 93 stories are perfect for reading to your children while they color the cartoons. Also included is a CD, Adventures in Missions, that features true stories of missionaries doing extraordinary work in the Muslim world. And, of course, The Parent's Guidebook that explains the program and lays out both a 1-year and a two-year schedule is included.Cat and Dog Theology does an unprecedented job of helping your children to care about the glory of God, and enabling them to understand the motivations behind both their right and wrong behaviors. Cat & Dog Theology is the most God-centered, God-glorifying character curriculum we have seen. However, we also recommend accompanying it with a Gospel-rich Bible resource, so that as your children perceive more of the sin in their lives, they can know the only true Solution to their sin problem. Find our top recommendations here. Features Parent's Guidebook SampleCartoon Book SampleI heard Good News Today Story Sample Note: The Cat & Dog Theology sets for K-2 and 2-4 cover similar concepts, but are distinct enough in approach that we do not recommend purchasing a set at one level and extra student books at another level. Instead, we recommend putting both students into one level or teaching them separately. If you’d like assistance with determining which level would be the better fit for a broad age range of students, contact us, and we will be happy to help!

Cat & Dog Theology - Grade K-2

Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids When our children were young, Bible devotionals for their age group were nearly non-existent. Those available were either too overwhelming or too watered down. So we were forced to cobble together a program that satisfied our desire that our kids would develop the habit of daily Bible reading. If only we'd had access to Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan in those days! Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids has made it easy for today's involved parents. The author, David Murray's experience with his own children, helped him write a book that could be used daily. Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids incorporates the optimum amount of verses each day. Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids is substantive but not overwhelming. It picks out the central portions throughout the Bible that give children an overall view of the whole Bible and the plan of redemption. This 365-day plan will guide your children through key passages from Genesis to Revelation. Each week starts with a short overview, a place to note any prayer requests, and a space to write out that week's memory verse. Each day your child will read a kid-sized portion of Scripture and then answer a question or write out a verse. Sundays are set aside to jot down the sermon text, title, and a few notes. Your child won't read every verse in the Bible. Still, he will hit all the highlights and gain a broad exposure to the big picture, how the different books relate to one another and our lives. Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids is an unmatched tool for leading your children into that holy habit of being in God's Word each day. Features Author: David Murray Illustrator: Scotty Reifsnyder Foreword By: Donald S. Whitney Number of Pages: 224 Format: Layflat Publisher: Crossway Date of Publication: September 30, 2017 ISBN: 9781433556869 Dimensions: 7.25 in x 9.0 in Weight: 15.61 ounces Consumable: Yes Faith-Based: Yes Awards and Endorsements:“There is so much I could say to commend Exploring the Bible, but any praise would pale in comparison to this, the ultimate parental endorsement: I gave all three of my children Exploring the Bible as their very first experience of personal devotions. All three used it, all three enjoyed it, and all three benefited tremendously from using it. I wholeheartedly recommend it for your children, too.” — Tim Challies, blogger, Challies.com “This Bible reading plan has it all—engaging graphics, kid-sized reading assignments, space for reflection, and helpful commentary. What an exciting endeavor—to help children read (for themselves!) an overview of the Bible in a year! I can’t wait to give away copies of Exploring the Bible to the kids in my life.” — Gloria Furman, author, Missional Motherhood and Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full “Too many times children are told about the Bible without ever being encouraged to read the text themselves. In his book Exploring the Bible, David Murray has given a gift to disciple-making parents everywhere. This resource will help children and families dig into the riches of the Bible while subtly teaching the necessity of daily reading and learning with God’s people. I can see individual children using it or whole families sharing their discoveries around the dinner table. As you seek to raise disciples who are hungry for and knowledgeable of the Word, this resource will be invaluable.” — Chap Bettis, author, The Disciple-Making Parent “Exploring the Bible has been carefully crafted. The passages selected, the layout and design, and the opportunities given for children to reflect and respond will work in concert to guide them into an understanding of what the Bible is all about. I hope it is widely used” — Kenneth Berding, Director, Bible Fluency; Professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University; author, Bible Revival: Recommitting Ourselves to One Book “Encouragingly brief, carefully chosen passages lead explorers through the main ideas of the entire Bible in 365 days, with captions and questions to sharpen their focus. Wonderful weekly peaks connect the Old and New Testaments, pointing to Jesus, reinforcing the big picture, and urging personal application. This treasure is at the top of my gift list for new Bible explorers!” — Gail Schoonmaker, illustrator, The Big Picture Story Bible; author, Big Picture Bible Crafts “Without guidance and a plan, children will flounder when trying to read and understand the Bible on their own. That’s why resources like David Murray’s book are so important. I don’t even want to imagine what my Christian life and my ministry would have been without the encouragement and structure for daily Bible reading I received as a child. But if I’d had something like Exploring the Bible, I think my scriptural foundations would have been even stronger.” — Donald S. Whitney, Associate Dean and Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life and Praying the Bible “An important, but often neglected, part of the education we provide for our children is instruction in the actual contents of the Bible. We give our children math flashcards and grammar workbooks, we enroll them in music lessons and put them on sports teams, but we often don’t know where to begin to teach them what’s in the Bible. Exploring the Bible will get elementary-school-aged children started reading Scripture on their own, giving them a grasp of its overall big picture as they read.” — Starr Meade, author, Training Hearts, Teaching Minds; The Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Study; and Give Them Truth

Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids
When our children were young, Bible devotionals for their age group were nearly non-existent. Those available were either too overwhelming or too watered down. 
 
So we were forced to cobble together a program that satisfied our desire that our kids would develop the habit of daily Bible reading. If only we'd had access to Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan in those days!
 
Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids has made it easy for today's involved parents. The author, David Murray's experience with his own children, helped him write a book that could be used daily. 
 
Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids incorporates the optimum amount of verses each day. Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids is substantive but not overwhelming. It picks out the central portions throughout the Bible that give children an overall view of the whole Bible and the plan of redemption. 
 
This 365-day plan will guide your children through key passages from Genesis to Revelation.
 
Each week starts with a short overview, a place to note any prayer requests, and a space to write out that week's memory verse. Each day your child will read a kid-sized portion of Scripture and then answer a question or write out a verse. 
 
Sundays are set aside to jot down the sermon text, title, and a few notes. 
 
Your child won't read every verse in the Bible. Still, he will hit all the highlights and gain a broad exposure to the big picture, how the different books relate to one another and our lives. Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids is an unmatched tool for leading your children into that holy habit of being in God's Word each day.

All three used it, all three enjoyed it, and all three benefited tremendously from using it. I wholeheartedly recommend it for your children, too.” — Tim Challies, blogger, Challies.com “This Bible reading plan has it all—engaging graphics, kid-sized reading assignments, space for reflection, and helpful commentary. What an exciting endeavor—to help children read (for themselves!) an overview of the Bible in a year! I can’t wait to give away copies of Exploring the Bible to the kids in my life.” — Gloria Furman, author, Missional Motherhood and Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full “Too many times children are told about the Bible without ever being encouraged to read the text themselves. In his book Exploring the Bible, David Murray has given a gift to disciple-making parents everywhere. This resource will help children and families dig into the riches of the Bible while subtly teaching the necessity of daily reading and learning with God’s people. I can see individual children using it or whole families sharing their discoveries around the dinner table. As you seek to raise disciples who are hungry for and knowledgeable of the Word, this resource will be invaluable.” — Chap Bettis, author, The Disciple-Making Parent “Exploring the Bible has been carefully crafted. The passages selected, the layout and design, and the opportunities given for children to reflect and respond will work in concert to guide them into an understanding of what the Bible is all about. I hope it is widely used” — Kenneth Berding, Director, Bible Fluency; Professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University; author, Bible Revival: Recommitting Ourselves to One Book “Encouragingly brief, carefully chosen passages lead explorers through the main ideas of the entire Bible in 365 days, with captions and questions to sharpen their focus.

Exploring the Bible

Cat & Dog TheologyYou’ve read a mountain of parenting books, and the best ones are not only engaging, but inspiring as well. However, many of the best, while stirring your soul, muddle your mind. What you want is a how-to book, but not one that leads to a household of self-righteous, pharisaical children. How do you teach your children the right thing to do, without them thinking their righteous deeds are enough? Cat and Dog Theology is the place to start. Cat and Dog Theology has been developed to help children both ponder their relationship with God and understand the importance of living a life that glorifies Him, or as the curriculum states, a life that makes God famous.Cat and Dog Theology utilizes the recognized aloofness of cats to cast them as the self-centered villains in this curriculum. Dogs on the other hand, with their relentless desire to please their owners, are the heroes. Every lesson will have your child asking himself if he is more cat-like, living to please himself or more dog-like, living to please God.Cat and Dog Theology Grades 2-4 is a one-year program and is divided into 30 weeks with three 10- to 15-minute lessons per week. In this level, your children will learn to make God famous by obeying, respecting adults, having a servant attitude, and more. Every time your child chooses God’s way instead of his own, he glorifies God. Every time he chooses to ignore God’s way it will be for his own glory.The main component of Cat and Dog Theology Grades 2-4 is the Attitudes Workbook that features drawing and coloring activities, memory verse copywork, short answer reflection questions, and more. Also included is I Heard Good News Today 2: Big Life, with 65 true stories of God's power and grace; The Parent's Guidebook containing instructions for each of the ninety lessons with scripted questions; 102 Differences Between Cats and Dogs featuring cartoons that help children see the practical difference between God-centered and self-centered lifestyle; and Because He Liked It! a humorous collection of 101 glimpses into the unique attributes of animals that reflects the glory of God.Cat and Dog Theology does an unprecedented job of helping your children to care about the glory of God, and enabling them to understand the motivations behind both their right and wrong behaviors. Cat and Dog Theology is the most God-centered, God-glorifying character curriculum we have seen. However, we also recommend accompanying it with a Gospel-rich Bible resource, so that as your children perceive more of the sin in their lives, they can know the only true Solution to their sin problem. Find our top recommendations here. Features Overview Sample Children's Workbook Sample Parent's Guidebook Sample Note: The Cat & Dog Theology sets for K-2 and 2-4 cover similar concepts, but are distinct enough in approach that we do not recommend purchasing a set at one level and extra student books at another level. Instead, we recommend putting both students into one level or teaching them separately. If you’d like assistance with determining which level would be the better fit for a broad age range of students, contact us, and we will be happy to help!
