Description

As parents, we are anxious to make sure that our children grow to know God. We also struggle to cope with the vast, quick changes in modern culture. What can we give to our children that can help them cope with these changes? Mary Ruth Wilkinson presents how books can help us to discern what things change and what do not, and what things should change and what should not. Books contain stories and it is through stories that we pass on and take on memories that equip us to live.
