Free Stuff Fridays (Christian Focus Publications)

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Christian Focus Publications. They are giving away God’s Daring Dozen Box Sets 1 & 2 to five winners.

Often overlooked, the twelve books between Hosea and Malachi have much to teach the church today – and that includes our children. Brian Wright and John Brown have written the God’s Daring Dozen series to present the stories of the Minor Prophets in a colorful, accessible, way that will engage children, so they can learn the timeless truths God has told us through His inspired word.

The first box includes:

  • Haggai’s Feast
  • Habakkuk’s Song
  • Zephaniah’s Hero
  • Obadiah and the Edomites

The second box includes:

  • Jonah’s Journeys
  • Malachi’s Final Message
  • Nahum and the Ninevites
  • Joel and the Locusts

Here is what people have said about the series:

Too many people—kids and parents—miss out on the rich truths of the Minor Prophets. So I am happy to recommend God’s Daring Dozen by Dr. Wright and Pastor Brown as a rich resource for young and old alike. This fresh look at an overlooked book will bless you and your children.

The entire Bible, even the section called the Minor Prophets, is relevant for God’s people, including children. Kudos to the authors for making the Minor Prophets accessible to children through these illustrated, engaging summaries of each of the twelve books.

Brian Wright and John Brown provide beautifully crafted and compelling renditions of the Minor Prophets in ways that we and our children can understand better the powerful message of these books of the Bible. They carefully uncover the ancient context of these messages while bringing them forward to our day, and in ways our children can understand. I have no doubt of the tremendous benefit these will prove to be for countless Christian parents and churches.

Bruce Ware, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky & author of Big Truths for Young Hearts

    When Christians Disagree

    Wouldn’t it be nice if Christians only ever got along? Wouldn’t it be grand if all the discord we see in the world around us was completely foreign to the church? Wouldn’t it be heavenly if believers ever only experienced peace? I suppose it would be heavenly and, therefore, more than we can realistically hope…

    Maybe We Make Meditation Too Difficult

    Of all the Christian disciplines, it is my guess that meditation may be the least practiced—though I suppose fasting might have something to say about that. Most people diligently make time to read the Bible and pray. And yet, while most people have good intentions when it comes to meditation, it so often seems to…
