Family Fun Devotions52 Interactive Devotions from the Old Testament ($13 + $3 S&H) Filled with FUN devotional activities, Egermeier’s Fun Family Devotions will make it much easier for your family to come together around the Word of God … and it accompanies our favorite Bible storybook—Egermeier’s. This is the first time my husband, Ray, and I have written something together! He wrote a short study of the Bible story for parents, along with a few questions for them to contemplate. Then, I’ve added two fun things to do TOGETHER as a family. These aren’t things you send your kids off to do on their own. One activity is geared toward a family with preschoolers, and the other toward a family with elementary-age kids. There are 52 Old Testament stories covered, and 52 New Testament stories are in the works! |
Dr. Bunsenburner's LaboratoryA DVD of 10 Scripture Teaching Experiments ($25 + $3 S&H) Tina's favorite costumed character, Dr. Fran Bunsenburner, teaches scripture using science. Now you can bring this quirky scientist to your class. This live action DVD contains Dr. Bunsenburner using 10 fun experiments as object lessons that illustrate scriptural principles. In addition, you get a CD with alternate scriptures to use with the each experiment and instructions so you can do them yourself! |
The Secret Weapon: Teaching Kids to Pray($15 + $4 S&H) Too often we think of prayer as being quiet, with our hands folded reverently. But, if we view prayer as a vital weapon in our arsenal against Satan, maybe we need to rethink that “quiet” stuff. James 5:16 tells us that God’s power is released through fervent prayer … fervent. “Fervent” brings to mind words like bold, intense, zealous, and impassioned. That sure doesn’t sound quiet to me! In the pages of this book you’ll find lots of ways for kids to use their secret weapon—prayer. Kids will experience prayer and understand the potential of their Secret Weapon. The Bible clearly shows us that prayer is sometimes physical, sometimes loud, sometimes desperate. If the Bible is our Guide, then let’s give it a chance to speak into our lives. |
Easter-rific!($15 + $4 S&H) The week that transpires between the time of Jesus entering Jerusalem and His resurrection is jam-packed with significant stories. Jesus sure was busy in those few days! Two Sundays. Yes, two Sundays! That’s the amount of time that we devote to teaching our kids about all of these incredible events. We cram it all in by including one sentence about each scene. But this week deserves more. It’s the foundation of the Christian faith and we need to teach our children more diligently about each part of it. Easter-rific is Tina’s attempt at elevating our Easter celebration and helping you to intentionally teach ALL the stories of Jesus’ last week on Earth. The book contains at least three activities (which could be science experiments, crafts, games, or storytelling ideas) for 19 different stories. And then, she’s also included activities for four stories that occur before the ascension. Join Tina in celebrating Easter for more than two Sundays! |
It’s Not Junk, It’s Resources($15 + $4 S&H) Learn to use everyday items, even discarded items to help you teach creatively. Don’t let a lack of resources due to low finances or little vision for children’s ministry get in the way of your dream for a great work. Have you ever seen a child leave an expensive toy sitting idle while she enjoyed playing with the box it came in? Tina shows you how to do fun and effective ministry using things others might call junk. |
