Reviews

[Jonathan Roberts]

Wonderful! Simply wonderful! This book, though short, hits all the points masterfully. I really liked this and will hopefully hit the points of this little booklet in my life with my kids. Recommended

[Ryan]

Great short pamphlet on talking to your kids about the gospel. Especially appreciate his careful emphasis on repentance and faith and how that is a better and more biblically faithful way to talk about trusting in Christ than “asking Jesus into your heart.” Lots of good practical questions to think on as well.

[Autumn Klepper]

This little booklet is so, so helpful! The author explains the difference between true conversion vs. a premature or forced experience. Very concise and easy to understand. Great resource.

[Parker Goforth]

Christ-centered, practical, and easy to read. Great resource for parents and those seeking to minister to parents.
