You are the light of the world. Do you believe it? Can you see evidence of it in your life? Perhaps a better question would be: Can others? We understand that life here is frustrating, broken, and confusing because we live in a system that is opposite to our LORD. > In place of frustration, we can have complete joy. > Instead of our brokenness, we can be set free from sin. > And our confusion can be replaced by eternal truth. This book will explore, explain, and employ the Word of God, specifically 1 John, bringing it to life in you. This is an interactive book, including activities designed to be done individually or in a small group. Each chapter ends with discussion questions. You'll need a Bible in hand while you read this book. Enjoy the humor, straight-talk, and clear illustrations to apply timeless truth to your life.

While many texts explore ways to plan and implement story times in both school and public libraries, until now no work has brought together extensive book talks and follow-up activities specifically designed to develop thinking skills in young children. This innovative study offers age-appropriate book suggestions with related questions and activities tailored to a variety of thinking skills, including verbal or linguistic thinking, divergent and creative thinking, analytical and mathematical thinking, visual or spatial thinking, and many others. The program presented in this volume was successfully developed and implemented in the preschool/kindergarten laboratory school of Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, with 90 percent of the participating children selected for gifted programs in both public and private schools. Ideal for children's librarians, school librarians, teachers of early childhood gifted programs, parents, and homeschoolers, this study provides the tools for making any story hour a "brain power story hour."
