Raising Up Dreamers


Book Description

How do you raise Christian kids who have dreams that seem beyond their reach? Parenting is an important task, but the pressure doesn't need to be on us. As parents, we simply need to follow the leading of the Lord with the understanding that our children's natural abilities are actually the Lord working out their destiny. When we give Christ unlimited control of our parenting, we learn that Jesus is a better parent to our children than we can ever hope to be. As Sheila Erwin shares personal stories of raising two successful filmmakers and delves into biblical principles, you will be encouraged to cultivate your children’s gifts and help them reach their dreams—no matter how impossible they seem. By parenting from a position of trust and rest in God, you can guide your children to chase their God-given dreams and channel their talents to glorify God instead of being gripped by the world.

38126 KING's KIDS ... Nobody Said We Were Poor!


Book Description

"38126 KING's KIDS ... Nobody Said We Were Poor" is a snapshot of a beautiful Memphis community with a rich, vibrant history that many African-Americans will recognize and remember. This back-in-the-day glimpse of a young woman growing up in the segregated south is amazing because her parents try to shelter her from the hurt, harm, hostility of racism, bigotry, inequality of America in the 50's and 60's. The strong village mentality within the 38126 zip code brings together a valuable, collective spirit. Written in the first person, the author tells her truth and her story with poetry and prose to share how adults banned together as one unit to support, structure and stabilize youngsters during the difficult days of civil unrest and man's inhumanity to man. Although the young woman is familiar with segregation and Jim Crow captured in Jet and Ebony magazines and from Black Literature, she is blind to real racism until it slaps her smack in the face. When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is murdered in her neighborhood, at the Lorraine Motel, she finally starts wiping her rose colored glasses to see how hard it is to survive as a person of color in America. Her fun, entertaining, exciting childhood had created a bright, bubbly teenager ready to explore, discover and become. The firm foundation she received from her family, her church, and her school provided the necessary toolkit for her to navigate through whatever challenges and adversities life would throw on her journey. The irony behind her zest for life and quest to dream impossible dreams were predicated on the premise that nobody said she was poor, marginalized, impoverished, a failure, and couldn't learn. Instead, the 38126 community manifested an inner self-worth to win, to succeed, to achieve as King's Kids! The solutions to America's primary problems won't come by just throwing money at glitzy programs with empty promises. America must start looking within herself to regain love, hope and faith!

Gospel-Centered Kids Ministry


Book Description

The story of Jesus interacting with the Emmaus disciples after his resurrection provides an outline for what a gospel-centered kids ministry looks like: gospel-centered teaching that points to Jesus in every session, gospel-centered transformation that positions the gospel to change a child's heart and then his or her behavior, and gospel-centered mission where kids join in on the big story of Jesus that continues to unfold. Seven out of ten kids will walk away from church after they turn eighteen. About five will return when they have families of their own. But two will never return. Clearly, something isn’t connecting with our kids. As kids ministry leaders, we need to take a hard look at what we are missing in our kids ministries and provide kids the one thing that will satisfy them and keep them connected to the church—the gospel. Gospel-Centered Kids Ministry also addresses how to communicate with and encourage gospel-centered leaders and parents as part of your ministry.
