Folded Wisdom is an inspirational testament to the depth of a father’s love for his children, and an intimate look into beautiful, raw, human communication. Within the pages of this book, Joanna Guest shares the insightful notes her father drew for her and her brother Theo every day for nearly 15 years. For her entire childhood, Joanna’s father, Bob, had a ritual: wake up at dawn, walk the dog, and sit down at the kitchen table with a blank pad of paper and plenty of colored markers to craft notes for his two children. Over the years, word games and puzzles for five-year-olds morphed into thoughtful guidance and reflections for his teenagers approaching adulthood. Now, with more than 3,500 of her father’s colorful notes in hand, Joanna has decided that the lessons tucked inside are worth sharing. Folded Wisdom highlights the collection of Bob’s notes, telling a story filled with universal values that encourages meaningful self-reflection – about how we all face successes and failures; express happiness and sadness; and communicate frustration, praise, and love to one another. Heartfelt and full of possibility for the future, a father’s folded notes and drawings are timeless reminders of love.

Question: What do our kids need? Answer: They need wisdom. "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 Designed for parents or teachers to use with children from K-5-through Grade 4, twenty-three lessons illustrate qualities of wisdom and godliness. Each lesson is presented in a simple format with illustrations to capture the attention of the child, and supplemented at the back of the book with suggestions for teaching the lesson. Every child of God - both adults and children - should work hard to show these traits more and more, because we love Jesus and want to be like him. That's easier said than done, isn't it? We struggle with sin every day, and we will fail. The lessons remind us that when we do, we will find forgiveness and the grace to continue to get wisdom at the foot of the Cross.

Proverbs 101 for Kids is filled with wisdom and insight that assist children with moving from mediocrity towards excellence. Wisdom Secret # 1 An Undisciplined Child Bring Shame to their Parents! A parents job is to discipline and train their children using Gods word as a foundation. Children are incapable of controlling their flesh without godly instructions from their parents. Children deficient in godly instructions bring shame to their parents. Wisdom Secret # 2 Self-Discipline Builds Strength! Living a disciplined life increases effectiveness and productivity. Children who practice self-discipline are rewarded for their consistency of managing themselves with excellence. Wisdom Secret # 3 Be Bold as a Lion! Godly children are bold as a lion in taking responsibility for their choice of behavior. Being courageous with daily chores, activities and responsibilities are characteristics of children who are bold as a lion. Ungodly children are very fearful and spiritually defeated, looking for a bold lion to introduce Gods love to them.
