Our K–12 school system is an artificial product of market forces. It isn’t a good fit for all—or even most—students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps “disability” labels over differences in learning style.
Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged, disconnected, and unhappy. And when they struggle, school pressures parents, with overwhelming force, into “fixing” their children rather than questioning the system.
From the Publisher:
The book of Revelation is both intriguing and intimidating. We want to know what the future holds for believers but the strange creatures, cryptic numbers, and stark warnings contained in the book puzzle us and the future remains a mystery. We decide Revelation is just too difficult and give up on understanding its message.
In these undated devotions, Bible teacher, Justin Mote, reassures us that the book of Revelation ‘is not as daunting as we might think’. Justin helps us to understand the unfamiliar pictures by showing us their roots in the Old Testament and uses reflection questions to encourage us to apply the message of this book to our lives today.
Getting to grips with Revelation can lead to wonderful blessing, assurance about the future, and great encouragement to keep going as a Christian now.
Excerpt
Good ol' Ribsy's ever-curious mind has always gotten him into trouble, but this time he may have gone too far. After a comical turn of events, Ribsy finds himself in the wrong station wagon with the wrong children.
Ribsy will do anything to find Henry, but there's plenty of excitement to be had along the way—and scoring a touchdown for a local high school team is only part of the fun!
For kids looking for a fast, funny dog story, Ribsy is a winner.
