52 Commands Book Launch & Giveaway

Hey friends, I have some fun news to share with you today!

I have the privilege of being on the book launch team for my dear and beautiful and wonderful and funny friend Susan Shipe’s new book, 52 Commands of Jesus for Children.

Before I rave about this book, let me tell you about my friend Susan:

As an 8-year-old, Susan Chamberlain Shipe and her neighborhood friend wrote, edited, published, and distributed The Manor News. Things have changed since publishing with the five and dime stamp lettering set, but she’s still a writer. Today, Susan enjoys blogging and writing short devotions and short stories from her empty-nest home in the Appalachian Mountains of northwestern North Carolina, which she shares with her husband of 30-plus years, Lowell, and their beloved dog, Sam. Susan can be found musing several times a week at hopehearthome.com.

Now let me tell you about the book:

Disclosure: By shopping Amazon through my website I receive a small commission but you do not pay any more than you would by shopping directly through Amazon.

I am so impressed with this 52-week study for children. It immediately reminded me of a book we read to our children when they were young, Bill Bennett’s Book of Virtues. Each chapter in the book begins with a Scripture that contains a command of Jesus, followed by questions to ask your children about the command and, depending on the child’s age, the parent or teacher is encouraged to take the discussion deeper. The author then suggests some helpful ideas on how to do this.

Tied to each command is a character quality that is also discussed, along with more thought questions and practical applications for the child. As I was reading one of the lessons to Mr. OTN he commented on how good the material was and expressed the desire to read the book himself. If you know the smarter than average Mr. OTN, and the types of books he reads, you’ll know that’s impressive!

Another fun bonus in this book, is that every lesson has a coloring page. Great idea! Parents can read to their children while they color . . . or vice-versa 🙂

As a former children’s Sunday School teacher, I think this is some of the best material I’ve seen for teaching our children godly character traits. I’ll be saving this book to share with my future grandchildren 😉 😉

Finally, as part of the book launch Susan has generously offered to share a copy of her book with one of my lucky readers.

I would love to instill these Biblical values into my daughter’s life, she is a little young for it right now, but she is growing fast!
