Six years ago I was introduced to this completely updated book. I absolutely fell in love with it and it continues to be one of my favorite children's book included in the ABC Jesus Loves Me Curriculum.

Is Being a Christian All About Following a Bunch of Rules?
Ever feel like every thing you do is measured by a ruler? Did I do enough? Did I measure up to the expectations?

After a while, you ...

Giveaway: When Calls the Heart DVD set

How to Have the First of “The” Talks with Your Daughter
