Tea Attitudes: A Blend of Tea, Life & Faith

Tea Attitudes: A Blend of Tea, Life & Faith

by Pamela G. Kennedy

 Perfect for the tea lover in your life, this devotional is full of warmth and goodness!  

Devotional share personal experiences from the author and draw the reader in to the connection to scripture and application to life.  Whether or not the reader has shared a similar experience to the story or not, they are easily relatable and applicable to life.  The scripture ties are on point and invite consideration and thought.  The end of each devotional invites the reader to then journal and respond, further applying the reading to their lives and deepening the connection to the scripture for each devotional.  This book can be read as a short daily devotional or as a weekly supplement.  Short enough to get through in a small amount of time, yet packed with good thoughts and applicable Bible references, it is a great little book to have on hand or to gift.

As a tea lover, I was drawn to read this book, but it went beyond that as soon as I began reading and considering the ways I could then apply them to my life.  I loved the added bonus of being able to then respond and write, which I felt further helped cement the thoughts into my mind and encouraged me to think on them in the days to follow.  The cover is cute and inviting, the writing easy to understand and read, and the whole package is perfectly executed and well thought out.  I already have plans to purchase copies for the tea lovers in my life, because I know they will appreciate it too!

Get a copy for yourself and see!

Raising Kids for Tomorrow's World

Raising Kids for Tomorrow's World:12 Keys to Preserving the Faith

by Stan & Cheryl Schuermann

In a world where many parents feel like they are barely treading water, trying to keep ahead of the trials and dangers in abundance for their children while navigating how to raise them with a spiritual mindset in a non-spiritual world, the outlook can feel hopeless.  Never has there been a more important time than now to begin equipping parents with the tools to raise their children in a faith that will last as they grow into this tumultous world around us.

Stan and Cheryl Schuermann have set out to give parents one such tool with their new book, seeking to teach and encourage parents in biblical principles how to raise their children to follow Christ.  Set up in small sections that are easily used within a small group setting, this book can be just as easily used as an individual devotional or short read as well, giving it versatitily.

Based on 1 Thessalonians 2:1-14, readers are introduced to the idea of Paul loving, encouraging and teaching his spiritual children.  From this section, 12 Keys are pulled, each key having 4 a chapter of it's own as well as three chapters devoted to the discussion of it.  The wealth of information, spiritual backing and biblical truth abound in this resource!  Readers work their way through Keys such as Discover Boldness, Help Your Children Discern God's Call, Be the One Your Children Want to Imiitate and so many more important keys.  Each chapter is designed to be a fairly quick read (generally 2-4 pages) within the topic, always with discussion questions at the end.

I have found this book to be one of great support and encouragement with thought provoking questions yet simply understood and followed suggestions to go forward with.  This is a book I know I will return to many times for it's wealth of knowledge and reference that I can trust.  Designed to give confidence to parents, it sets readers up with success and helps families build a faith culture in their homes in a time of deep need for parent support and Christian community as we look out at a very troubled world into which our children will be released some day.

You can find it at Amazon and Barnes & Noble in multiple formats to fit your preference!
