Jesus Christ taught his disciples to call God ‘Our Father’, and to live as members of his family. Although simple enough for every Christian to understand this is also so profound that its implications take a lifetime and more to explore fully. Yet, despite Christ’s words and example, Christians have frequently ignored or forgotten his teaching. In these pages, Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson reminds us of its importance. Children of the Living God takes as its starting point the wise and thought-provoking question of an old writer: ‘If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will?’. It underlines that we were created for joyful fellowship with God, and explains how we enter his family by new birth and adoption. Its chapters show how the Spirit of sonship, Christian freedom, divine discipline, prayer and the sacraments all contribute to our experience of the love the Father has for his children.

Jason Helopoulos encourages the church to embrace the important part children play in the life of the church and unfolds the enormous blessings to be found in having them present in the worship services of the congregation. He points out how the struggles are temporary - whereas the blessings can be eternal.

Just like trees and plants bear fruit, so must the Christian bear spiritual fruit. Some plants and trees are meant to have only branches or stems, and leaves, and no fruit. But there are others that produce fruit: apple trees, tomato plants, blueberry bushes, etc. Through the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s heart, Christians begin to produce the fruit of the Spirit. This means that a Christian shows by his lifestyle that he walks in the ways of the Lord. As you can tell an apple tree because of the tasty apples it carries on its branches, Christians should be recognized by their godly character. Children, read these stories and see the importance of bearing the fruit of godliness.

Using the alphabet as a guide, this book provides 26 devotional meditations for young children (ages 4-9), based on Bible texts that children can easily memorize.

All of us want to raise good kids. And we want to be good parents. But what exactly do we mean by “good?” And is “being good” really the point?Mother-daughter team Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson contend that every way we try to make our kids “good” is simply an extension of Old Testament Law—a set of standards that is not only unable to save our children, but also powerless to change them.No, rules are not the answer. What they need is GRACE.We must tell our kids of the grace-giving God who freely adopts rebels and transforms them into loving sons and daughters. If this is not the message your children hear, if you are just telling them to “be good,” then the gospel needs to transform your parenting too.Give Them Grace is a revolutionary perspective on parenting that shows us how to receive the gospel afresh and give grace in abundance, helping our children know the dazzling love of Jesus and respond with heartfelt obedience.

Parents are unable to give their children what they need most-new hearts that trust in Christ for forgiveness of sins. All belief is a work of God alone. But parents must not “hinder“ their children from coming to Christ, as Jesus‘ disciples sought to hinder mothers and fathers from bringing small children to Him (Mark 10:13-16). On the contrary, they must do everything in their power to “bring“ their children to the Savior, which means raising their sons and daughters in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4). In Parenting by God‘s Promises: How to Raise Children in the Covenant of Grace, Dr. Joel R. Beeke explores what this nurture and admonition looks like and offers gems of practical wisdom for parents on topics such as instituting and leading family worship, teaching children, modeling faithful Christian living, and exercising discipline. However, he carefully puts parental responsibilities in their proper perspective and guides mothers and fathers to lean not on their own abilities but to trust more fully in the God who knits children together in the first place. Above all, he affirms, parents must look to the one true God, who promises to provide everything His people need and to bless them and their families. Endorsements “The defection of young people from the church is creating great concern in our day. Oftentimes the solutions seem to exacerbate the problem. Joel Beeke’s book, Parenting by God’s Promises: How to Raise Children in the Covenant of Grace, is a sane, biblical word in the midst of the chaos. The book blends a vibrant covenant theology with wise, practical instruction. Moreover, it keeps a balance between family and church in the nurture of our children. This book is an important read for pastors, elders, parents, and grandparents.” —Dr. Joseph A. Pipa Jr. “In an age of pragmatism, Joel Beeke is a drink of fresh, cool theological water. Raising children is about more than just surviving until they leave home; Beeke reminds us that Christian parents must view their roles in the broader context of God’s redemptive work. Our goal must be raising children who, by God’s grace, come to know and follow the Lord who has redeemed us and called us to Himself. This is a daunting task, and parents need all the help they can get. For those desperate to hear a clear, thoughtful, biblical, theological, Reformed treatise on the subject, Parenting by God’s Promises is a valuable read.” —Dr. Voddie Baucham

There is no such thing as a neutral education. However we choose to educate our children, their upbringing is our responsibility. Are our children establishing their understanding of the world and their values on the foundation of God’s truth? Or are they learning a worldview that has no place for God and is ultimately hostile toward Him? In A Battle for the Mind, Dr. R.C. Sproul stresses the importance of developing a distinctly Christian philosophy of education. These biblical principles can vitally shape the lives of young people—and our own lives—for the glory of God.

Names have significance. Many children are given names that reflect deep cultural or spiritual values. Similarly, some people have titles that carry a great weight of responsibility or reverence. What about God? What meaning can we find in the different names that He has in the Bible? In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul explores several of the names and titles that God uses to reveal Himself in Scripture. These names have much to teach us about who God is and how He cares for His people. The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.

The Bible teaches us to pray without ceasing, but many Christians struggle with prayer. Is there a right way to pray? How should we address a holy God? Does prayer really change things? Even Jesus‘ disciples understood there was something lacking in their prayer life after they observed Jesus in prayer. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He gave them a model of prayer as an example to follow in communing with God. In The Prayer of the Lord, Dr. R.C. Sproul helps us understand how to pray according to the pattern Jesus set for us. Each chapter focuses on a single line of the Lord‘s Prayer, shedding light on God‘s holiness and our need to humbly depend on Him. Dr. Sproul reminds us that as adopted children of God, we have an unspeakable privilege in prayer-to call upon our heavenly Father. Endorsements R.C. Sproul has an amazing gift for explaining difficult truths in pithy, memorable, and easy-to-grasp ways. He is the ideal teacher for a study of the Lord’s Prayer, because the prayer itself is a profound lesson on a difficult subject, given by Jesus to His disciples in an amazing economy of words. You will be greatly blessed and edified by this book. —Dr. John MacArthur Gospel-driven disciple-making in the church has historically made full use of the Apostles’ Creed, the law of God, and the Lord’s Prayer. Now through this marvelous and insightful exposition of the Lord’s Prayer, R.C. has provided disciple-making Christians and churches with an excellent and useful instrument to direct and fulfill the heart’s desire of every believer who would cry out, “Lord, teach us to pray.” —Dr. Harry L. Reeder III

In this allegorical tale, theologian, pastor, and author Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his life's work of making deep biblical truths clear and understandable to students of all ages.

Drs. George Grant, Michael Morales, Stephen Nichols, and R.C. Sproul consider the theme, Surprised by God. This series of messages looks at God's call for His children to wonder at His power and grace, how His glory cannot be tamed, and how theological decline has contributed to the "domestication" of God, and the Lord's surprising acts in history."I fear that too many of us have domesticated God. That we have lost the ability to be amazed at His glory and to recognize who we are as humble creatures before our transcendent and Holy creator." -R.C. Sproul

The biblical teaching that Jesus was the Suffering Servant who carried the sins of His people when He went to the cross is vividly brought home to children in The Donkey Who Carried a King, the latest children's book from respected theologian, author, and educator Dr. R.C. Sproul.Davey was a young donkey who was bored and unhappy because he was never given anything to do. Then one day, some strangers came to the gate-and Davey's master picked him for a very special task. Davey carried the King, Jesus, into Jerusalem. A few days later, Davey saw some angry people making the King carry a heavy beam of wood. Davey could not understand it-until another donkey helped him see that the King was being a Servant on behalf of His people.The Donkey Who Carried a King offers a unique perspective on the events of Jesus' Passion Week and calls all believers, both young and old, to follow in the footsteps of the Suffering Servant for the glory of God. Jesus was willing to leave the glories of heaven to suffer and die in this world on our behalf, so we should serve Him with all our hearts.

This imaginative tale from Dr. R.C. Sproul, based on a true story, begins one evening with Mr. McFarland leading family devotions.

In this classic story Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his project of illustrating theological concepts for children. The Priest with Dirty Clothes teaches the concept of imputation, which lies at the heart of the important biblical doctrine of justification.Using the story of Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1-5) as his jumping-off point, Dr. Sproul weaves a classic tale about a young priest who is invited to preach his first sermon before the king and his court. But on his way to the palace, he falls from his horse, getting his clothes hopelessly muddy. Jonathan finds that he needs powerful help if he is to stand before the king. This edition of The Priest with Dirty Clothes includes illustrations by Justin Gerard and a "For the Parents" section to help them bring out the truths of the book for their children.

In Christian Education, Dr. R.C. Sproul calls Christian parents to recover their biblical responsibility to teach their children instead of relinquishing it to the government.

With The Prince's Poison Cup, Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his series of books designed to present deep biblical truths to children on their own level. In this work, he focuses in on the atonement to show that Jesus had to endure the curse of sin in order to redeem His people from their spiritual death.When Ella gets sick and has to take yucky medicine, she wonders why something that will help her get well has to taste so bad. When she puts the question to Grandpa, he tells her the story of a great King and His subjects who enjoyed wonderful times together-until the people rebelled against the King and drank from a forbidden well. To their horror, they found that the beautiful water in the well made their hearts turn to stone. To reclaim His people, the King asks His Son, the Prince, to drink from a well of horrid poison.

The February 2025 issue of Tabletalk will help readers better understand the depth of well-known Bible stories.As people who love the Word of God, Christians are familiar with its historical narratives, and many even have favorite Bible stories. Yet our familiarity with these accounts as a result of our studying them in children’s Sunday school, personal Bible reading, and elsewhere is not always as deep as we think.

This issue of Tabletalk will look at several well-known Bible stories and help readers better grasp their theological importance and meaning. Contributors include Burk Parsons, S.M. Baugh, Allan M. Harman, Robert Rothwell, Stephen M. Coleman, Nick Batzig, Josh Moody, Andreas J. Köstenberger, William Boekestein, Robert W. Carver, Sarah Ivill, Derek W.H. Thomas, Aaron L. Garriott, John C.A.
