Apply Biblical Truth to Every Day Life

Is the Bible an out-of-date, dusty old book or is it relevant to daily life? This book takes current situations that kids are facing and provides five choices for action. The choices are a springboard for discussion between parents and their kids. After reading the story and talking about the choices, you turn to the back and find some additional points for discussion. This book is an ideal product for families with school-age children. It gives you a consistent well-crafted tool to talk about Biblical truth then your children can easily apply the lessons into their current situation.
