Get Your FREE Kidology.org Button

As my pappy used to always say, “Tootith not thine own horn, let another tootith it for thee.” One of the most encouraging things is when I hear others telling about how much they love Kidology.org and how it has helped them in their ministry. One of the reasons I stopped having an exhibit booth at CPC about five years ago is that I really hate being in a booth and talking about my ministry or “selling” my website or products. I’m excited about the ministry God has graciously given me, I love doing what I do, and I’m blessed by the stories of those who benefit from it, but I really hate talking about it or having to “promote” it. I’d rather meet someone who already knows about Kidology and is excited and want to talk about it than meet someone who doesn’t and need to tell them about it. I feel like a salesman, and its a feeling I don’t like. That is why I’d rather just do workshops and network in the hallways, resource room or at meals, or find another way to serve. I’d rather minister than sell. So we’ve made a fun and easy way…

An Open Letter to Philip Pullman

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY and an Open Letter to Philip Pullman (discuss this post on Kidology.org) “Here we go again,” was my first thought when I got my first (of many) e-mails warning me about the latest assault on Christianity in the form of a major motion picture based on a trilogy of children’s books written by a professing atheist. The Golden Compass became almost an obsession to parents and children’s leaders across the nation as blogs and church bulletins were filled with warnings against this “threat” to our children. The author, Philip Pullman, seemed pleased by the uproar and fueled the debate himself with his own anti-Christian, anti-religious, anti-God, and anti-C.S. Lewis comments. Unlike R.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, whose message may have been harmful or dangerous to an unparented child, but was not written for that purpose, Pullman practically boasted his anti-Christian agenda. And so the e-mails and blogosphere erupted in a frenzied panic to fight the message of this upcoming film. (Remember The DaVinci Code?) I’m all for this wave of helpful communication. Well written reviews have been written both by Christian and secular reviewers. (Focus on the Family and TIME magazine) My own website, Kidology.org, hosted a lengthy…

Josiah and the Mysterious Child NOW AVAILABLE!

Forget the Golden Compass – Harry Potter – or boring familiar Christmas stories. Return to the high tech undercover world from the Order of the Ancient. Josiah and the Mysterious Child is a short story that tells the Christmas Story in a fresh new engaging way. Our hero Brent is still living in a post-Christian world, but as a secret member of the undercover Remnant of believers. Struggling with how to share the Truth with his best friend, and wondering why December 25th, known as Gift Day, is such a big deal. I wrote this story for parents to read with their kids, or for children’s pastors to give out to the kids at church. It includes some discussion questions at the end to help parents and teachers engage their children in discussing the significance of Christ. Those who love the book and are buggin’ me for “Book 2” will enjoy returning the world of Brent and Amy and the Remnant – but you don’t need to have read the novel to enjoy this story. ORDER TODAY! Only $5 for Kidology members, and only $10 for permission for unlimited reproduction within your church! SEND EVERY CHILD HOME WITH JOSIAH, AND…
