This children's book provides parents with an opportunity to show their children the wonderful promises of God and encourage them to look to God when they are fearful. Children often have fears of things both real and imagined. Things that go "bump" in the night, big dogs, being in a strange place and even climbing to the top of the monkey bars can produce anxiety in children. Simply telling a child "not to be afraid" is most often ineffective. So how are you guiding them to handle those fears? Children need the confidence that there is someone bigger, stronger, and wiser than themselves who will protect and care for them. But more than that, they need the assurance that someone will be there for them-to make everything right, to handle the difficulties they can't, to accomplish the tasks that are too hard for them, and to navigate the situations that are beyond their experience and ability. Often that bigger stronger, wiser person is a parent, grandparent or another adult. But parents and other adults are not supreme, all-powerful, and all-knowing. They fail children and find situations they can't navigate well. Only One Person is sufficient to handle all the complexities of the universe, and in particular, the personal world of every child. That Person is God Almighty, the Creator, and Ruler of all things. When I Am Afraid encourages young children to look to God for courage and strength as it weaves together stories about everyday fears, promises God has made us in Scripture, and truths about our all-powerful and all-knowing God.

When you want to get to know someone, where do you start? How do you introduce yourself? Usually you start with someone's name. God knows this—and he doesn't have just one name to share with us! The Bible gives us many names for God and tells us what they all mean. And when we learn a new name for God, we learn something new about him, too! This book is for parents and children to read together. Every chapter includes questions for family discussion and an activity.

God's Providence

We all make sure our children know the stories from the Bible. But can they understand their meaning and know the Storyteller behind them? Sally Michael shows us that even young children can understand the Bible's message of sin and redemption, because God wrote it to everyone, young and old. In God's Word she provides a captivating, child-friendly resource for parents to approach the Bible with their children and to involve them in reading it for themselves. Her exploration of the Word addresses how it came to us, what it tells us about its Author, what it tells us about ourselves, and why it is the most special book ever written. After children learn about the Bible and how to read it, she takes them a step further and teaches them to be doers of what they read. Give your children a firm, early foundation on the truth introduce them to God's Word!

God's Word (Making Him Known)

Every day our children are confronted with the call of wisdom and the call of foolishness. Which call will they answer? All of us, down to the youngest child, start out on the path of foolishness because we are born with foolishness in our hearts. Only God can incline your child's heart toward the path of wisdom—and he can use your example and diligent instruction to do it. Through these teachings and stories from the Bible, Sally Michael describes for parents and children the characteristics of the foolish and the wise, contrasts for them the way of wisdom with the way of foolishness, and shows them the end result of each path. Explore these two paths with your own child and let the words of Proverbs encourage them on the life-giving path of wisdom.

God's Wisdom (Making Him Known)

Parents work hard to protect their children from danger. But are we helping to guard them in the spiritual battle that already rages around them? Whether he consciously takes sides or not, every person is in the middle of spiritual warfare. None of us can choose to sit on the sidelines and even our children are not exempt! So rather than trying to shield them from the very real war around them, why not equip them, as early as possible, to take an active role and fight back? Sally Michael provides the framework for parents to train their children in the fight of faith. In this full-color, illustrated "battle plan," she uses the gospel message to introduce children to the state of their hearts, then awakens them to the many battlegrounds that surround us both from our own sinful hearts and from the enemy’s attacks. She then encourages children to be fighters, giving them a biblical battle strategy to depend on God, resist the enemy, and stand strong!
