Compiled by Austin Toews
Do you sense your child might be struggling with something but you just can't put it into words? Maybe you're a youth pastor, small group leader, teacher, or coach who wants to know how to help kids who are facing despair.
There are countless resources available for addressing physical and academic needs of today's youth, but what about their mental and emotional needs? Youth anxiety and depression rates are rising. No parent wants their kid to suffer from despair.
This book contains essential information about the dynamics of despair in kids and teens in a clear and understandable way. In each page, you will find helpful information about why the kid or teen in your life might be struggling, but also comfort in knowing how you can help. Throughout each chapter, you will learn about different tools of connection and the critical steps you can take to help kids and teens feel seen so that they can find confidence in who God has called them to be.
What’s been happening with children’s ministry in Canada during COVID-19? To answer this question, Scripture Union created a survey to take the pulse of children’s ministry in the second quarter of 2021.
NIrV, The Illustrated Holy Bible for Kids is a brand-new kind of Bible that allows kids ages 4–8 to read the full Bible without chapter and verse numbers and footnotes—study aids that are helpful for adults but can be very distracting for kids.
This Bible presents the story of God’s people in a single column format with an extremely readable font. With nearly every turn of the page, children will encounter full-color illustrations and kid-friendly maps that illuminate the Bible story.
For children who want to read on their own or with an adult nearby, this is the perfect first full-text Bible for kids who appreciate the power of story and of God’s Word.
