My First Books

For a total of about $5 you can get two of the best tools I've seen for instructing and discipling young kids. Both are by Carine Mackenzie. Links and descriptions below.

My First Book of Questions and Answers
Children always have questions about what it means to be a Christian. Do they need a long, philosophical answer? Not always—and it is simple answers to deep questions that feature in this book. If you have ever wanted to know how to explain the Christian faith to young children in bite-sized chunks then My First Book of Questions will be of great help to you. In 114 profound questions and answers, backed by scripture proofs, best selling author Carine Mackenzie provides an invaluable tool to get you started.
My First Book Of Christian Values
Children want to know what to do. They want to know why they do the things we do. They are full of questions and they need answers. As well as having amazing minds they have souls that need direction and care. The foundations that are laid in their young lives will stand firm in their adult live. With the work of the Holy Spirit these Christian principles and values will be eternal. Life changing values. In a world where basic moral standards are eroded and neglected children need to be taught the firm truths of humility, generosity, truthfulness, purity and respect. In this book are thirty one different values that show us what Jesus Christ is like and how we should behave. Each value has a scripture verse to learn and a brief explanation. You dont need to teach children to do wrong, but you do need to teach them to do right and to trust in the only one who is good, God!
