ABOUT THE BOOK
TEACH FROM LOVE: SCHOOL YEAR DEVOTIONAL FOR FAMILIES
Learning and transformation happens when education goes beyond books into the heart.
Teach from Love is an inspirational and educational devotional for families to explore and embrace the godly qualities we want for our kids (and for ourselves). It contains thirty-six pairs of weekly character themes designed to be read five days a week for the thirty-six weeks of a school year. Each day includes a Scripture, a short reading, a prayer, and two questions for family discussion.
Your family will:
Explore Scripture and engage in meaningful discussion.
Grow in godly qualities, discovering how to implement them into their daily lives.
Understand how to deal with less-desired traits.
Learn how they can best imitate and follow Christ.
Teach from Love is an encouraging, valuable resource to draw families together and closer to God. Gather for as few as ten minutes or enjoy extended times of family discussion and learning. Pursue true Christian living together, and in the future your children will recall and appreciate this valuable time of connection.
