When children have a listening companion who hears, acknowledges, and encourages their early experiences with God, it creates a spiritual footprint that shapes their lives. How can we increase our capacity to engage children in spiritual conversations? In this audiobook, Lacy Finn Borgo draws on her own experience of practicing spiritual direction with children. She offers an overview of childhood spiritual formation and introduces key skills for engaging conversation-posture, power, and patterns - from a Christ-centered perspective.

A well-known challenge of Jesus to his followers is to become like little children. But it's often difficult to remember the natural patterns of our childhood selves that enabled us to live freely in God's wonder-filled presence. Is childlike faith simply an unquestioning faith, or is it being present with ourselves in a way that invites healing and wholeness? Faith Like a Child considers Jesus' invitation to childlike faith and explores seven distinct ways of welcoming the child within.

Though the words "foster care" are not in the Bible, the act of caring for the vulnerable is clearly important to God. Perhaps nowhere is that kind of tender attention and care for the vulnerable more evident than in the act of fostering a child.

A sermon of George Everard about freedom. He states that in the life of a Christian there is freedom and yet there are bonds, as explained by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7. He was speaking to a church where some were free, and others under the yoke of slavery, reminding them of their position as disciples of Christ, and showing how it lifts them up above the distinction that existed in their temporal condition.

This sermon by George Everard deals with petitionary prayer. The six words are, "Lord Jesus, glorify Yourself in me!" He values this prayer, because it is the echo of the Christian's heart to the words of Christ on the night before His death.

Dale’s sermon about Christ’s kingship includes descriptions of divine anger, divine righteousness, divine mercy, and divine grace. He claims that various departments of human life constitute different kingdoms in which the authority of Christ must be acknowledged and his laws obeyed. The final part expounds on Christ as King of the spiritual life of man.

In this sermon, George Everard discusses giving by inter alia referring to 1 Chronicles 29. He explains that there is joy in cheerful giving. Where love is ruling in the heart, a gift brings fresh gladness and pleasure to the giver.

Dale discusses the perpetual conflict between Christianity and worldliness. He warns against "the bitter melancholy, this profound discontent with all things in Heaven above and on the earth beneath". Rejecting the concept of "the sanctity of misery" he criticizes the Book of Ecclesiastes and the image of the traditional "Romish Saint", and concludes by saying that for the miseries which we cannot escape, the Divine love affords infinite consolation.

George Everard (1828-1901) describes the Christian in three images or attitudes: the little child, the laborer, and the soldier clad in armor, whose motto is, "I fight." He emphasizes the need to daily put on the whole armor of God. That will make the believer valiant in winning souls and patient in waiting.
