The Most Important Thing

Yes, one of these three animals actually smells like popcorn! Share the photo with your family and see if they are able to answer the question.  

While there are many important things for us to do as grandmas (grandpas/parents, too), the most important thing is for us to hand down confident faith. Yes, we absolutely must teach the ones we love the "whats" - what the Bible says and therefore what we believe, but if we want them to have a confident faith, we must also teach them the "whys" - why they are able to believe God is real, the Bible is true, God and science go together, and God is good.

Engage the Children You Love this Winter & Hand Down Confident Faith

There is strong evidence and there are solid reasons for us to believe God is real, the Bible is true, God and science DO go together, and God is good - we need to teach these "whys" to the children we love so they are able to have a confident faith.

Hand Down Confident Faith with the Life on the Goldilocks Planet Books - and Have Fun Doing So!

I've been writing about my Life on the Goldilocks Planet book series and how they are a fantastic way to help you hand down confident faith from the youngest ages and teach the children you love how God is real and God and science DO go together. All of us, but especially children, love to learn about interesting animals and these books are filled with animals - many of which you may never have heard of before, and which will surprise you with the fun facts, help you learn with the quotes from scientists, and engage you all with activities everyone will enjoy!

Teach the "Whys" this Winter & Have Fun Doing So!

 

We know we (parents/ grandparents/ church) must teach the "whats" - what the Bible says and therefore what we believe, but just as important as it is to do this, it is equally as important to teach the "whys" - why we are able to believe God is real, the Bible is true, God and science DO go together, and God is good. If we do not teach the "whys" we run the very real risk the young people we love will turn away from their faith - as Barna's studies show this is actually happening.

Get Ready for an Adventure!

 

Have you ever heard of a Blue Dragon? Have you ever heard of an Okapi, or a Pangolin, or a Civet, or a Kakapo, or a Quetzal, or a Chevrotain, or a Binturong, or a Mimic Octopus? Did you know there were such animals as Pygmy Elephants, Pygmy Rhinos, Pygmy Hippos, and Tree Kangaroos? Do you know the surprising things about Giant Clams and Peacock Mantis Shrimp? Do you know how all these animals and 87 more are included in the first eight books in the Life on the Goldilocks Planet curriculum/book series?

Get the Life on the Goldilocks Planet Books - they Will Help You Make a Difference

  

Three years ago my three grandsons and I began a project together. We wanted to learn about interesting animals and how they might help us know God is real and God and science DO go together. At first we thought we might just write two or maybe three books, but when the project was completed we ended up with twelve books! Each book has at least twelve interesting animals in it - many of which we had never heard of before! We included full-color photos, fun, interesting, and even surprising facts about each animal, Bible verses, quotes from scientists, and activities to help children, teens, parents, and grandparents engage with what they were learning in fun and memorable ways. These books - the Life on the Goldilocks Planet series - are available to help families learn together how our amazing world shows us God is real and God and Science DO go together!

Fill Your Winter with Fun, Learning, and Time Connecting Together with the Life on the Goldilocks Planet Books

 

One thing we grandmas know (and grandpas/ parents, too) is we do not know what a day holds and we must make the most of the time we have. It matters what we do and say today. We are able to hand confident faith to the ones we love. We are able to help them become people who love, know, and walk with God because they know the "whys" - why they are able to believe God is real, and God and science DO go together.
