FAMILY DEDICATION

Understanding your role as the primary disciple-maker for your family while developing healthy routines and spiritual rhythms.

“Listen, Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates."
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

by Debby Anderson

In fact, God's Word abounds with references about His tender care for all His creatures, both great and small.
To help young children grasp these wonderful truths, Debby Anderson has created a fun, colorful book. This simple story brings to life more than a dozen Scripture verses, and the author has included the references so that kids can see these great promises in God's own book. God Knows My Name is a natural tool for every parent, grandparent and teacher to use in planting the Bible in young hearts.
