Recommended by Chuck Colson on BreakPoint! The fourth book in the What We Believe series helps children understand what it means to be a 'good and faithful servant' of God (Matthew 25:23). This study will help students choose to put God first in every area of their lives based on these biblical truths: God has given me a part in His story; God owns everything; He has entrusted me with certain gifts and wants me to use these gifts for His glory; I can honor Him with my money and possessions; I can honor Him with my time and talents; I can honor Him by caring for my body wisely; God expects me to care for His creation; God will reward me for my faithfulness.

The What We Believe series helps parents and their children ask the important questions—and answers those questions with uncompromising biblical truth. Andy Stanley

Teach your child at home or supplement his or her classroom learning —this book provides you with the techniques, curriculum, and resources necessary to ensure that your child's education is the best it can be. As a parent, you worry about your child's education. With thirty students per classroom, even the most dedicated teachers often can't give each student the individual attention so urgently needed, and neither teachers nor parents can control the social environment of many schools. Is your child getting lost in the system, becoming bored, losing his or her natural eagerness to learn? Maybe it's time to take charge of your child's education —by doing it yourself. This book will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school; one that will train him or her to read, to think, to understand, to be well-rounded and curious about learning. Through a language-intensive process that organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind, your child will receive the complete education that today's overcrowded schools are often unable to provide. You do have control over what and how your child learns; The Well-Trained Mind will give you the tools you'll need to teach him or her with confidence and success.

The thrilling story of a man whose simple obedience continues to help change the world!

As a boy during World War II, Brother Andrew was a messenger for the Dutch resistance movement, helping night and day to sabotage the Nazi control of Holland. Years later, while attending Bible college, he was challenged to the dangerous task of delivering Bibles in Eastern Europe. That story, as told in God's Smuggler, kindled a remarkable movement in the West to find ways to take the gospel where doors were considered shut.

As the Founder and International President of Open Doors, Brother Andrew and his worldwide mission organization support persecuted and threatened Christians in many places. For any reader who thinks the missionary age is over, the story of Brother Andrew will change their minds.
