Small Town VBS


Book Description

What do you get when you take two moms who love children's ministries and ask them to plan the Vacation Bible School program at their church? If you asked Gennifer Anderson and Sonja Toews that question, their answer would be--this book! With more than twenty years of combined experience coordinating the VBS program for their church each summer, these two moms decided to write their own VBS programs to meet the needs of their church and offer a different program to their community other than the mainstream VBS programs that every other church in their town was offering. The result of their efforts is Small Town VBS. This book offers you three programs for less than the price of one manual for most other programs! Buy one book and be set for three years! Each program contains detailed information about the opening program, crafts, games, food, and skit scripts, which provide humor and laughter for the closing program while tying the whole theme for the day together.

Hope for the Hurting


Book Description

Life is painful. Everyone's story comes with unique challenges, difficulties, bumps, and bruises that leave you lost and drowning in their wake. It could be a financial disaster, a health issue, a broken relationship, or the loss of a loved one. Dr. Tony Evans, bestselling author and pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, understands life's hardships firsthand. In a span of less than two years, he lost his brother, sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, father, and wife. At the same time, both of his daughters received cancer diagnoses. In the wake of all this pain, Dr. Evans had to put into practice, at the deepest levels, the truths he has preached about God for more than forty years. God's Word doesn't promise us a life free from pain and trouble. It promises us something else—Someone else. Someone who will walk with us through all of life's trials and troubles. There is hope for the hurting: His name is Jesus.




God of Freedom - Bible Study Book


Book Description

Every book of the Bible tells us what is true about God. In Genesis we see Him as Creator and Covenant Maker. In Exodus we see Him as our strong Deliverer who sets us free from sin and death. In this 10-session study of Exodus 19-40, journey through the story of how God shepherds His newly-liberated children into an understanding of what their freedom means: lives consecrated for service to God and to one another.

And with fresh perspective, ask what these stories teach God's children today about how to live as those set free. In every page of the Bible, learn to see Christ through the stories of His people. And discover how the God who created you and made a covenant with you will deliver you from death to life, for His name and renown.
