Details: This is a really great book if you want to know about God. The book, scripture-based, explained every single aspect of God. I bought my first one at my church, then I ordered another one at Amazon to send it to my sister. My sister is raving about it, too. |

Details: This is one of the best home discipleship books written. Get your children and family grounded in Truth as soon as possible! It is your job and responcibility, not the church's. |

Review Summary: Excellent book for devotions...with a caveat |
Date: 2008-06-02 |

Details: This book is an excellent resource for doing daily family devotions. It devotes a week to each question of the Shorter Catechism, using each day (less Sunday) to focus a particular aspect of the question. I've found that it's an easy way for kids to understand the fundamentals of the faith (even my 5-year-old understands it!).
The caveat is that, as another reviewer mentioned, one of the Catechism questions teaches infant baptism. I'm not sure how we'll handle that when we get to it (it's towards the end of the book). We might still go through it but use the Scriptures to explain how infant baptism is not sufficient for cleansing sins and how baptism is the New Testament always involved adults (Gospels, Acts).
The rest of the book is tremendous. If you can handle the section on infant baptism, you'll find the rest of the book to be very valuable in helping your kids to develop a biblical worldview. It's not just important to know WHAT to believe but WHY they believe it so that they be discerning in life. |

Review Summary: Excellent family devotion resource |

Details: I do daily devotions with my kids and it can be hard to find a resource useful for both a 5 yr old boy and 11 yr old girl. This book works perfectly. Rock solid theology with pleasant discussion material. It does move along slowly (37 weeks alone on the specifics of the 10 Commandments) but it can be done in 15 minutes a day. If you are new at devotions or just want solid teaching instead of feel-good fluff I strongly recommend this book. Best for ages 3 to 15 but new Christians of any age could get a good basic education with this daily devotional. |

Review Summary: A Pastor's Perspective |

Details: I highly recommend "Training Hearts, Teaching Minds" by Starr Meade for anyone who has a family, or is in any way involved in the Biblical training of anyone, of any age, no matter how long they've been born again. As a church planting Pastor this is a book that I recommend that all of my congregation get, read, and apply to their daily lives and personal / family devotions. It will continue to reinforce the basics of the Christian life and take you continually deeper into the depths of God's Word. This is the first, but certainly not the last, thing I will be reading and recommending by Starr Meade; I will continue to praise Jesus for this book!
Philemon 25 to you and your family,
Pastor Tim Camp
