"We who preach & write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding…If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly." Augustine
Grace to all, Mark Hamby

Teddy does it again!


Dear Mark:

Our son has been growing spiritually in neat ways lately.  God has particularly used Teddy's Button, to touch his heart.  It's his own book and when we finished it he told me he intended to read it to his children when he was a daddy and hoped they would read it to their children.  He's become quite strong in his resolve to fight his own "Bully".   Just today I got a precious view into my son's heart.  He told me that it's so hard when his older brother picks on him, but when he feels like hurting him back he thinks about how much it would hurt and he just can't do it!    I pray almost daily that the Lord will keep him strong.  His neighbor friend has been stealing at school and was found out today.  My son heard his mother tell me, which I would have rather kept private.  However, it sparked a very deep discussion about his friend's relationship with Jesus. My son said he thought his buddy knew about God, but not "all the way".  I thought that was an interesting perspective and that our little book helped him think it through.  He really loves this friend and so much wants him to "enlist in God's army", too.  I think he understands much better our battle with sin and our desperate need for God's help. 

 

Thank you for helping families locate books that God can use to strengthen precious young ones.  They truly are a treasure. 

A Thankful Mom.

 

I love to receive letters like this!  God is going to raise up a generation of new soldiers who fight the good fight of faith at an early age.  I can’t wait to see the results!  By the way, there are two new books coming soon that are equal and possible better than Teddy’s Button!

Sir Malcomb and the Missing Prince and Charlie’s Choice….i can’t wait till you read them….coming soon this Spring.
