“The ‘Children’s Gospel Catechism’ is a helpful and beautifully illustrated tool to assist parents in teaching their young children the gospel of Jesus Christ. Its power is found in its simplicity and its reliance upon the Word of God.

Paul Washer

(Director of HeartCry Missionary Society)



“As parents, our greatest responsibility is to teach our children the gospel. Along with praying for our children, there is nothing more important than training our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. With the burden that my wife and I share for our children, I am deeply thankful for the ‘Children’s Gospel Catechism.’ This catechism is perfectly suited for the youngest of children, but will also be extremely beneficial for older children as well. The questions and answers are precisely and wonderfully worded, and the illustrations are simply captivating. This catechism needs to be in every home where parents and children gather around the Word for family worship. I pray that God uses it to bring many children to the Lord. “

Jeffrey Johnson
(Pastor of Grace Bible Church of Conway, author and owner of Free Grace Press)

 

 

Reviews

“I Love the pictures because they are culturally diverse, colorful and kidfriendly! I Also love the Question & Answer format, it has simple words that are age appropriate.  Love the big font, and simple answers that kids can verbally repeat.”
-Devra Ashbeck (Christian mother of four children under age 10)

“The illustrations are warm and inviting…My kids and I always prefer colored picture books, so I am glad for the color on every page. The text is simple and easy to read. One night Cora [age 4]  asked me to read the book, and I picked it up and read the whole thing to her and Judah [age 6] without anyone getting bored. I love how you distill deep truths in a way that makes them easy to understand without cheapening them.”
– Esther Ender (Editor of the Children’s Gospel Catechism and Christian mother of three children under age 10).

Children’s Gospel Catechism – Coming This Summer!

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
-Proverbs 22:6

Christian parents, families, and Sunday school teachers all over the world have prayed over this proverb as they consider the young children God has placed in their lives . For centuries the Christian Church has found catechisms a useful tool to train the young and old alike in the core tenets of the faith.

The Children’s Gospel Catechism will be available in just a couple of weeks if not days!
The catechism contains 33 questions and answers, a teacher’s guide for how to use the catechism, as well as a scripture appendix.

Perhaps you have thought about trying to catechize some young ones in your life but were unsure of where to start. Unsure if the child (or you) would have the stamina or time to complete hundreds of questions and answers. Unsure if the children would understand some of the language used in the historic catechisms. Or maybe you started to catechize and found yourself longing for colorful pictures to engage their minds more. If so, then The Children’s Gospel Catechism is a resource which we pray will help you train the children in your life. So, how is the Children’s Gospel Catechism unique?

Gospel Focused

The second word, “Gospel”, in the title of this book is intentional. The Children’s Gospel Catechism is a great place to start because it seeks to lay a gospel framework for children. By focusing on the essentials of the gospel message we provide our children an outline of God’s redemptive plan which can be built upon for the rest of their lives and eternity to come.

Simple and Accurate

Maybe you have been deterred by some of the language you have seen in catechisms. The Children’s Gospel Catechism seeks to use simple language that a child can understand without compromising the depth and truth from God’s word. Each question and answer is  accompanied by supporting scriptures to go over with the children.

Illustrated

Children take in so much of the world through their eyes. We read in Paul’s letter to the Romans that God’s creation testifies of His power and glory to all living people–this includes children! The Children’s Gospel Catechism has rich colorful pages and illustrations. The illustrations provide thought-provoking object lessons and memory queues for the children.

Vision

Our desire is that this simple, illustrated, gospel-focused catechism would be an encouraging and effective tool to aid in your privileged duty of “Train[ing] up a child in the way he should go,” and that you would see God fulfill the promise that, “Even when he is old he will not depart from it”.

Jane and Parker Jane

By | Children's Books, Food for thought, Illustration, Watercolor | One Comment

Today I have a really cool story to share about the book I illustrated this past winter called Parker Jane’s Curls.
A colleague from another facility who I do not even know reached out to me a few days ago to share her story about why Parker Jane’s Curls is a perfect fit for her little girl! I asked if I could share her story here, and she told me I could 🙂
“Hey! …I saw your older post on FB about illustrating the children’s book…I NEED THAT BOOK. My daughter is bi-racial and has super curly hair. I am only now starting to learn how to take care of it. And she already hates it. I anticipate a lot of hair issues as she gets older. The book will be perfect! Also…her name is JANE which is even weirder. Very cool connection!…It is surprisingly difficult to find books that have African American (in my case…not sure about others) or mixed race characters. Whenever I find anything, I scoop it up. But this is seriously so spot on… Jane is only 17 months old so it isn’t like she already has issues with it…she just hates having it taken care of…and it’s a lot of work! Totally different way of washing, conditioning, brushing, etc. I’m slowly learning 🙂 And we tell her all the time that she’s beautiful and her curlies are perfect. Hopefully that attitude sticks.”
Love hearing these stories! If you have a special story about why you bought this book, feel free to take a photo and share it with me, these stories are what keep me motivated in my work!!”

Home is Where the Soul Is

A dear friend of mind commissioned me to do a piece involving her three home-states and tying in the thought of heaven also being home someday, which is how the Bible verse ties in to this scene. Love how it turned out! Kind of want to make a version for myself someday 🙂 Can you guess the states?

The Art of Slow-Living

By | Food for thought, Illustration | One Comment

Sometimes I wonder if I’m living life to the fullest, if I’m doing all what I’m suppose to do with my time and talents, and then moments like tonight where I’m painting a quiet scene in my “studio” and my husband comes in periodically to turn my head from the pallet and steal a few warm kisses. And it’s in that moment i stop asking questions,
Pour a cup of hot tea and realize that I am blessed beyond measure exactly where I am.
