Help Children Embrace a Slower, Gentler Pace of Life Imagine being stuck on a crazy merry-go-round that wont stop. Youre spinning endlessly. You cant pause, focus, or catch your breath, and its starting to get scary.This is the reality for many children today, caught in the frantic pace of life. Forces beyond their control rush them along, skipping important transitions and cutting corners on meaningful processes. Children are moving so fast that theres little room for God in their thoughts or on their calendars. As a result, theyre left struggling to establish roots in community, reliable morals, or any kind of relationship with God.The good news is its possible to help children experience life at a slower pace. You can push back against the demands of our superficial, artificial, automatic, and always-on culture. In Savoring Childhood, Grace Pouch offers small steps you can take to help children experience life at a pace where friendship with God has the time and space to flourish.Drawn from an average familys experiments with resisting the rush of life and applying spiritual formation wisdom from voices such as Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, this book presents practical ways to slow things down so that children (and the grown-ups who love them) can experience and savor the world at a soul-sustaining pace.With Savoring Childhood, youll learn how to resist the formation of spirit-harming habits and appetites, set a pace that supports freedom, connection, and depth, and nurture skills for healthy relationships with God and others. God designed childhood to be abundant. With a little practical guidance, we can reclaim the spaciousness kids need to experience awe, practice patience, exercise creativity, and grow up surrounded by a sense of Gods presence and love. Savoring Childhood is your invitation to slow things down and give your kids the gift of flourishing.

Join the dance of North American Indigenous interpretations of Christian ScriptureIn Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Indigenous scholars Chris Hoklotubbe and Danny Zacharias explore what it means to read the Bible from the lens of Indigenous peoples in North America. Exploring the intersection of Scripture, Cultural Traditions, Hearts and Minds, and Creation, they affirm Creators presence with Indigenous people since the beginning. By recovering these rich histories, this book offers a fresh reading of Scripture that celebrates the assets, blessings, and insights of Indigenous interpretation.Indigenous culture has often been dismissed or deemed problematic within Western Christian circles, and historical practices have often communicated that Indigenous worldviews have little to offer the church or its understanding of Scripture. Hoklotubbe and Zacharias challenge this perspective, reasserting the dignity of these cultures that were condemned through colonial practices and showing how Indigenous interpretations bring invaluable insights to all of Gods people.In Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Hoklotubbe and Zacharias: Affirm the dignity and value of Indigenous cultures and their contributions to hermeneutics. Explore the intersection of the Bible with Indigenous traditions. Delve deeply into the stories of Scripture alongside the complex histories of Indigenous communities in North America.

I wish I could make this book required reading for every parent." - Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel WomenHow can you raise your children to not just to survive but to thrive in a world filled with complex and confusing conversations about gender, sexuality, and relationships? Navigating the birds and bees is challenging enough for parents. Kids today are faced with all sorts of complex issues, and often at a very early age. When is it too early to talk about sex? How can we begin to view the gender conversation? How do we help our kids not to approach the world fearfully but to walk into it confidently--even in the worlds most controversial spaces?Laurie and Matt Krieg believe that, as a Christian parent, you can approach sexual topics with confidence and grace by laying a solid gospel-centered foundation from early childhood onward.

Rather than retreating in fear, you can respond to the brokenness of the world with the goodness, truth, and beauty of the gospel and help your kids to do the same. Cast a gospel vision for your kids so that no matter how they experience sexual brokenness within them or around them, they have the tools they need to choose the way of Jesus no matter what.
