Excellent Parenting Resources

I feel as though I have come upon a treasure trove of God glorifying resources! I don't know about you, but I need all the encouragement and help that I can find.

I hope these help you in your parenting:

The Children's ESV Bible This is an excellent children's Bible with great helps designed by the folks at Children Desiring God.

Listen to Kenneth Maresco teach on training our younger children.

Here is a great children's worship CD, by Sovereign Grace. It is called Awesome God. The lyrics are exceptional.

My favorite devotional for young ones is, Leading Little Ones to God, by Marianne Schooland.

Another great discipleship tool is Sinclair Ferguson's, The Big Book of Questions and Answers.

Praise Baby Videos. These are a great way for children to learn lyrics to some really good worship songs.
