For You

Spiritual Parenting by Michelle Anthony
also available on Amazon.com

This is a great parenting book. It doesn't focus on the how to's of parenting, but rather the whys of parenting! Joe and I hope to lead a parenting class sometime soon based on this book, so keep a look out for that too!

Here is the description from the publisher...
It's hard enough to train kids to behave, but good behavior isn't what Jesus calls for in the Bible. He wants hearts and souls that are shaped in vibrant faith and love toward God and others. In Spiritual Parenting, Dr. Michelle Anthony places the dependence upon God for our child and calls the reader to a heart posture of obedience and faithfulness. The end goal is a vibrant faith that is passed on from one generation to another.

Parents are, by the power of God's Spirit, to obey and depend on God in order to create an environment God can use to beckon our kids to Him. Isn't it time to embrace this simple, but revolutionary concept?

Do your kids love to text, sign them and you up for SMC!

Its MyBibleTool.com...Here is the description

Every page of the Bible has something to say about God working in our actual, everyday lives. It is filled with stories, poems, letters, and ideas that can change us, if we’ll give them a chance.
We, the creators of My Bible Tool are committed to exploring the Bible as an invitation to a changed and changing life. Our goal is to use research from the Center for Bible Engagement to find creative, realistic ways that make the Bible an organic part of every day.

Tools MyBibleTool.com has created.

411God

Everyday, you’ll receive a sixty second audio clip of the Bible that we record right here. It’s one little step that guarantees at least something from the Bible in your life, every day. And each clip has a few thoughts about how this verse might be relevant to you. Check it out!

Nudge

Pick whichever topic you like (money, sex, life, lots more), and you’ll get five e-mails a week from people who are writing about how they’re seeing the Bible interact with that topic in their lives. The writing is raw and honest, dealing with the joys and pains that come obeying God in a complicated life. Check it out!

SMC

SMC is where you talk to us; tell us how God is changing your life. We’ll text you a Bible verse every day, and you text us back with how that verse challenges you, or encourages you, or even frustrates you. And you can check out the SMC site right here and see how the rest of the MyBible Tool community is applying the Bible in their lives. Check it out!
