More from Lee Ann

Recent statistics show our youth abandoning faith at an alarming rate. 90% of 13–14-year-olds believe there is no absolute moral truth, and 75% of parents agree.[1]  In the cultural war against Christ-centered values, vulnerable young souls are our greatest casualties. It’s time to raise up a faith-armored generation and equip them to change the world. With the right resources, we can equip our kids with enduring faith.

Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Instilling a Lifelong Trust in God endeavors to remedy the statistically high rate at which children turn away from Christianity. Raising Kids to Follow Christ (February 2024 from Whitaker House) offers today’s families the resources they need to nurture children in faith. This expert guide offers developmentally appropriate and scripturally centered methods based upon top research and expert insights from the brightest minds in childhood spiritual development. Author and Raising Christian Kids CEO Lee Ann Mancini emphasizes truth wrapped in love and joy in a parenting approach designed to prevent children from abandoning their faith. Her reason for writing this book is to help readers eagerly search the Bible, looking for fresh truth they can find in each word of scripture — “for the word of God is living and active” (Hebrews 4:12, niv) — to build a strong foundation of Christ in their children that will last a lifetime.

Valentine’s Day Bible craft for your family:

Memory Verse: John 13:34-35, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (ESV).

Supplies

  • Markers/pens
  • Scissors
  • Sheets of paper (1-2 per person)
  • Small jars/clear containers (1 per person)

Setup

  • Gather items and have them ready to use.
  • An adult can draw seven hearts on each sheet of paper. Make one sheet per person.
  • Optional: If children are older, allow them to draw hearts on their sheets of paper.

Say

  • Our memory verse, John 13:34-35, tells us that God wants us to love others in the same way He loves us. That’s how other people will know that we are His disciples.
  • God wants us to love everyone. A great way to start practicing loving others is to love the people you are closest to first.
  • I want you to think of seven people who you spend the most time with. We are going to start practicing showing God’s love to them this week.
  • Each of us will fill up a jar/container with hearts with those seven people’s names written on each heart.
  • We will pull out one heart each day this week and come up with ways to show that person God’s love all day.
MY REVIEW 

As parents we struggle daily with raising children in a world  where evil is present. Children can be influenced by many things but this book will help to guide you with Biblical  truth  and  insights of how to raise children to draw near  to God. There are examples in the book that are helpful and a useful tool for new parents as well as seasoned ones. 

I like how the authors give personal stories as well as stories from the Bible and other people they know to show parents how to guide  children to seek God. It is important to pray for them everyday. As we  nurture our children we should include them in prayer time with the family. I love how my middle son and his wife pray  with their children every night before bed. 

Another way to help parents is to bring children to church with them. As they go off to their classes you can feel comfort knowing they are learning about Jesus. I know how important it is to have children attend church as they experience stories from the Bible and learn scriptures. 

This book would  be a special gift to new parents as they begin their journey of raising their children to know Jesus. There are many useful tools in the book and I would  recommend parents to grab a copy for themselves. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

About the Book

Book: Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin

Author: Dennis Conrad

Genre: Christian Children’s Picture Book

Release date: October 30, 2023

Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin is an exciting adventure in the Ancient Roman Empire at the time of Christ. Eight-year-old Marcus and his father are on a mission for the Emperor and visit a mine and a mint where coins are made. Marcus himself makes a denarius, a coin with the emperor’s image.

Marcus goes to Jerusalem where he sees Jesus hold a denarius saying, “Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” What will seeing Jesus mean for Marcus, and will he ever be the same again?

How to Turn a Penny into a Teachable Moment

Dennis Conrad

Connect with your child or grandchild by starting a coin collection.

Start with the penny, also known as the Lincoln Head Cent. The coins were first minted in 1909 because it was the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.

Use the coin to help your child make the connections with who Lincoln was, what he did, and when he lived. Reasons why Abraham Lincoln is featured on a coin include the following:

  1. Lincoln is often at the top of the list of America’s greatest presidents.
  2. He helped to preserve the Union during the American Civil War.
  3. His Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves.
  4. The Gettysburg Address ranks as one of the best speeches of all time.

Now, Look On the Back (the Reverse)

Go through change to find the different images on the backs of pennies.

There are wheat ears (1909-1958) and the Lincoln Memorial (1959-2008).

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of his birth, the U.S. Mint issued coins with four different images on the back. The Lincoln Bicentennial (2009) coins include a log cabin, Lincoln sitting on a log, Lincoln standing in front of the state capitol of Illinois, and an unfinished U.S. Capitol Building (the way it was when he was president.) For the past several years, there has is a shield on the back representing the preserved union (2010-Present).

Add one of each reverse to the child’s collection. 

Don’t forget to mention the words, the date, and the mintmark.

The words include “One Cent,” “In God We Trust,” “Liberty,” “The United States of America,” and “E Pluribus Unum” which means “Out of many, one.”

Also, look for and find the year minted and the mintmark.

Find and add a coin from the child’s birth year to the child’s collection. 

Look at the mintmark. It is a letter on the front of the coin under the date. The “D” is for Denver, the “S” for San Francisco, and the absence of a mintmark means the coin was minted in Philadelphia.

Add coins with the different mintmarks to the child’s collection. 

Keep the collection safe in a small box or a Ziploc bag. Have fun. Add to the collection as time goes by.

Free Resources

Want to encourage the child in your life to learn more about coins? Sign up at https://dennisconradauthor.com so your child can become a Junior Coin Collector. Receive free, monthly activity sheets like a crossword puzzle. There is a Coin Hunt section where children can search for and find coins in change for their collection, and a Vocabulary Buildersection with coin collecting terms.

MY REVIEW 

A cute story that  follows Marcus and his father on a journey to a mine. There Marcus finds out how to make coins. When he makes one with the image of the Emperor on one side he is excited. He worries that he will mess up the mission with his father because he is so clumsy. I loved reading how his father was so encouraging. 

When Marcus and his father camp near Jerusalem they encounter thieves who are after the coins. What excitement it was  for Marcus when he warns everyone at the camp about the thieves. They think he is a hero now and his father is very proud of him. 

The moment Marcus sees Jesus in the market place he asks who Jesus is. Marcus questions what Jesus says and makes him curious who this man who  calls himself Jesus.  The illustrations in the book fit nicely with the story. Marcus begins to want to know more about Jesus. This book is a good book for young children and the information at the back will guide readers to learn more about the coin and various topics to teach children more about the history of the coin. Nice  story to help children learn about Jesus along with history that will give moments to use as a teaching tool.

About the Book

Book: Chromatic

Author: Ashley Bustamante

Genre: YA Fantasy

Release Date: May 7, 2024

Light is Found in Every Hue 

Magus is dying from the inside out, and only the destruction of the barrier can save it. Even color magic can’t defend against earthquakes, strange weather patterns, and erratic wildlife behavior.

After discovering hundreds of captive Yellow magic-users, Ava and Elm fight to set them free. However, new dangers and unexpected enemies await at every turn, forcing them to face their greatest challenges yet. The calamities inside the barrier slowly manifest in the outside world as well, pulling citizens from both sides of the battle into the fray. In this new war, they may not all make it out alive.

Elm and Ava must confront the growing darkness and create a future in a world that has been all but stripped of hope. Can Magus be restored, or is it already too late?

About the Author

Ashley Bustamante has created stories from the moment she could scribble and staple sheets of paper together. She simply cannot recall a time when writing was not a force in her life. When not running through lines of dialogue in her mind, she enjoys taking photographs and spending time with her husband, three children, and any furry, feathered, or scaly creature she can find. She currently works at Arizona State University.

More from Ashley

Sitting down to write the final installment of the Color Theory series was an emotional experience. I wanted to do well by my readers and do well by God. And of course, I wanted to stay true to the story I set out to write in the beginning.

One of the difficult things about writing this book is that I knew the characters were going to have to face higher stakes and deeper pain than ever before. Given the situation they are in, it had to be that way. But, in spite of what Ava, Elm, and crew will face in Chromatic, this is ultimately a story of hope and triumph.

As I’ve watched the struggles of the world right now and seen what so many readers are going through, I knew I wanted to tell a tale of perseverance. No matter how bleak our circumstances may be, we can still find the light.

I hope you enjoy Chromatic!

MY REVIEW 

A great adventure awaits those who grab a copy of this book. I like how the author takes readers on a journey into the unknown and brings characters to life. In a world where color is everything we find our main characters fighting for survival.  

Ava and  Elm are on a mission to rescue those that have been trapped. What I liked was how there was danger at every turn as the story reaches an intense scene where our main characters must fight for their lives. In the midst of everything going on, we see that light must overcome darkness to survive. A great reference for all of us to remember. We must continue too fight against the darkness that tries to deter us from the goodness that  awaits us.

About the Book

Book: Mayhem and Moonlight

Author: Jennifer Sienes

Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance, Women’s Fiction, and Southern Fiction

Release date: April 16, 2024

Left at the altar holding the bill, a boatload of college debt, and piddly librarian salary has her praying for a miracle.

Lillian Murphy takes her life verse from a book title—A Series of Unfortunate Events. Could be it was on account of her jumping into things without first dipping a toe in to test the waters that landed her in such a position. A cozy, cardboard box would suit her just fine if she could find a way to heat it, but she’s hoping the good Lord will do some better. She’s done dreaming of happily-ever-after – She’d settle for just debt- and drama-free.

Luca Giordano knows the minute he lands in Shelbyville, Tennessee with his three young boys that he’s in over his head. Leaving the pain of his past behind, he’d also left his parents—and they’d done the heavy lifting. All his charts, graphs, and scheduling expertise isn’t enough. What kind of a productivity expert is he if he can’t be…productive? What he needs is a part-time Mary Poppins to swoop in and fill in for his gargantuan gaps—and Librarian Lillian seems the perfect solution.

But when Luca’s past converges with the present—and Lillian’s the catalyst—everything he loves most is at risk. How will a free spirit and fusspot find a way to happy ending?

About the Author

Award-winning author Jennifer Sienes holds a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in education but discovered life-experience is the best teacher. She loves Jesus, romance, and writing—and puts it altogether in inspirational women’s fiction. Two of the three novels in her Apple Hill Series (set in Northern California) were inspired by actual events. Her Southern fiction Bedford County Series is set in Tennessee where she now resides with her real-life hero (and husband).

More from Jennifer

I’m often asked where I draw inspiration for my stories. It was easy when I was writing the Apple Hill Series, because the Lord took me through a long season of loss ripe with emotional angst and faith building. So, two of the three novels in that series were inspired by actual events I lived through—my daughter’s traumatic brain injury and my brother’s suicide. Not exactly the stuff of happily-ever-afters. But being a romantic, I’m a sucker for a happy ending. It took quite a bit of spiritual growth and creative ingenuity (she says tongue-in-cheek) to be able to move past the pain and find the blessings for my characters. Proof that God uses every tear for our good and His glory.

The story behind Mayhem and Moonlight came from a friend of mine. Annie. Not long after I met her (at my release party for Night Songs) she told me about how she and her husband Peter came to be together. Annie was a school psychologist who had been left at the alter years before. Peter was a single father of three boys whose wife passed away from cancer. Annie loved children but was past her child-bearing years, so she was as enamored with Peter’s three boys as she was by the man himself. Inept in the kitchen, she shared many hysterical culinary malfunctions with me, including how she almost burned the house down on more than one occasion.

Main character Lillian was also inspired by an actual person—my daughter Nikki. Yes, this is the same daughter who suffered a near fatal car accident and went through months of rehab for traumatic brain injury. What a sweet thing to be inspired by her when she was dealing with a disability and again years later with master’s degree for library and information science—just like main character Lillian. That’s how our good God works, though, so I shouldn’t be surprised.

But of course, a romance needs a protagonist, and Lillian’s is Luca Giordano—single father to three young boys (just like Annie’s Peter) and a productivity expert in serious need of help. It wasn’t until after I started fleshing out ideas for this book that I’d even heard of a productivity expert. It was through one phone conversation with old friends who told me their son had written a book titled Winning the Week: How to Plan a Successful Week, Every Week. I could’ve never imagined purchasing this book to show support to my friends would lead to the inspiration I needed for Luca’s career.

And guess what? Using the techniques laid out by authors Demir and Carey Bentley helped me become a more productive writer, too! It was a win-win.

Once I got to know the characters, I let them loose in my imagination and had to race to keep up with them. That’s when I know my writing is in conjunction with the Lord. I literally cannot make this stuff up. I pray you will enjoy reading Mayhem and Moonlight as much as I did writing it.

MY REVIEW

I am not surprised at how quickly I became connected to the characters. The author has this ability to make  her characters  so realistic that  readers come  to think of them as friends. I love how this story is filled with struggles where our two main characters turn to God for help. Sometimes we think we can fix things on our own, but without God’s guidance we can make a mess of things. 

Lillian has been so hurt by her ex fiancé that she isn’t sure she could ever open her heart again. She is left  with massive bills from the wedding  that never took place. I could feel Lillian become discouraged as she tried to support herself on her salary. Being a librarian certainly doesn’t pay well in some places and Lillian needs to find a place to live soon. 

Luca has stepped up to take care of his three boys since his ex-wife abandoned them several years ago. He is becoming overwhelmed with scheduling work and making sure his boys are never alone at home. I loved  how the  author created  a scenario where Lillian  is the one who applies for  the job  as a live in nanny. At first there are a few adjustments like Lillian not knowing how to cook. That part was funny because I don’t cook either. Poor thing almost caught the house on fire once, just like I almost did. 

The story moves at a good pace but Lillian and Luca don’t quite communicate well about some topics. I felt like they  walked on egg shells at times just so they wouldn’t have to share their feelings. When gossip at church starts about them living together this causes Lillian to rethink her future. She has grown very close to the boys and doesn’t want to leave them. What will her next step be? And  we can’t forget about Luca and his struggle to tell Lillian how he feels. 

With a surprise appearance of someone from the past their life’s  start to become fractured. Oh how the past starts to affect everyone as Lillian makes a hard decision.  The tension in the book is thick at times  as these two are stubborn and allow a little pride  to slip in. I loved reading how they both went to friends for  advice and both were told to pray and trust God. If you want to know if Lillian and Luca can repair their relationship you need to grab a copy for yourself.

About the Author

Deb Gorman, owner of Debo Publishing, was born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She still lives in her hometown of Yakima, Washington, with her husband, Alan, and their very smart German Shepherd, Hoka. Deb is a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, cleverly disguised as a wife, mom, grandmom, and author. Her purpose is to connect with God’s most beautiful and clever creation, the human family, using the literary talent and imagination God gave her. Her prayer is that as she journeys with you, together you will discover encouragement and redemption in your most important relationships.


More from Deb

No Tomorrows-A Novel for Today came about because of a question I heard.

“What would you do today if you knew without a doubt you would die tomorrow?”

It’s an old question that’s been kicked around for decades, but when I seriously put my shoes into its footprints, I found I could not answer it with anything other than cliches. Those cliches, like “Eat chocolate all day”, or “Do that last thing on your bucket list” didn’t sit well with me. I wanted a real answer, one I could hang my hat on—as one character in the book says. I suspected that my readers want a real answer for themselves, too.

Annie Lee, a typical suburban mother of four, is confronted with that question, and spends a harrowing twenty-four hours navigating the answer for herself. In the uncertainty of our times, this question is particularly important for us to consider. Perhaps we’ll agree with Annie Lee’s answer.

Along with a book and a $50.00 Amazon card, the lucky winner will receive a custom-made No Tomorrows pen, created by my author friend, Steve Hooley, at https://SteveHooleyWriter.com, from Big Leaf Maple wood grown and harvested in the Pacific Northwest.

MY REVIEW 

The book asks a very difficult question that made me wonder how I would answer it. A simple assignment from a teacher takes a family on an uncertain journey of discovering what is important. I loved reading how Annie faces several trials leading up to facing that all important question her daughter has to write about. We get to know Annie better as her everyday life plays out. She likes everything in its place. Her children feel her anxiety when she doesn’t allow them to just have fun. Her insecurity and mistrust flows into her life that threatens the very existence of her family. 

I could relate to her about worrying over her children. I was that mom who was so afraid that one of my children would get hurt I didn’t allow them to have fun. Annie learns that she needs to let go and trust God. Fears can take over our life if we don’t let them go. They can put us in a state of not really living and  becoming isolated from everyone. 

Take each day like it may be your last. Live it to the fullest and put God first in everything. We are not promised tomorrow so take each day and make memories. Abbie realizes all the time she has wasted by worrying about everything that now she wants to make amends for it to her family. 

The story is a beautiful reminder to take each day as it comes. We need to give our worries to God. Live in the moment and give your cares to God. I loved this book and it made me think of how I would answer that question posed in the book. Now it’s your time readers . Take a journey with Annie and let things that have stopped you from enjoying  life  go.
