Today’s parents feel ill-equipped to spiritually train and educate their preschoolers, elementary kids, and teenagers. Based on the principle that kids and teens learn and comprehend concepts differently as they grow in maturity, Every Age, Every Stage provides an age-suitable discipleship approach, equipping parents to teach their children biblical truths from the ten concept areas of God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Bible, Salvation, Creation, Church, People, Family, and Community and World. The wise discipleship plan presented in Every Age, Every Stage is known as Levels of Biblical Learning©. This framework for babies through teens was developed over a period of several years by thought leaders in preschool, kids, student, and next-gen ministries. Levels of Biblical Learning has been taught at workshops, colleges, and seminaries, and incorporated in Bible Study curriculum. The book also will assist ministry leaders and teachers as they prepare a vision for their ministries and teach biblical concepts in the classroom, putting children and teens on the right path to a life of growth in biblical knowledge.

My book is Holy Spirit inspired, prompting me on a journey from conflict to peace. Every psalm and poem reflects my inner most experiences through my turbulent life including many failures and triumphs. God has proven to me time and time again that His love, strength, and wisdom is present in every aspect of my life. He gave me hope when I had none. Jesus helped me start over and cast my burdens onto Him. The life I lead was long and hard and some of these psalms and poems tell my story of pain, loss, failure, and acceptance, giving me a much needed hard look at myself to make a drastic change in my life. I continue to face challenges on this journey being prompted by the Holy Spirit to excel and not lose faith, and He has opened my eyes and helped me to accept, forgive, repent, and share my experiences. I still have many weak moments, but Jesus shows me that in holding fast through faith He will never leave me. No matter how hard life gets or how long my journey is, until Im called home, Jesuss love will never fail me.

About the Book I chose Dodging the 60's Bullet as the title because it expresses how I feel about living through that era without taking a direct hit! I believe I was blessed by the timing of my birth as well as the influence from my immigrant grandparents who helped to raise me. I was almost an adult when this unarmed ‘insurrection’ began, but those who were only in their early teens were not as lucky. The ‘60s attack on America’s culture alarmed my elderly grandfather who came to this country before 1900, and he shared his profound (and prophetic) concerns with me in 1962. It seemed that almost overnight social norms were being overturned by this generation composed of mostly college students who had been influenced by left-leaning professors who taught that our traditional values were unjust and had to be radically changed. God was soon declared ‘dead’, drug use was celebrated and sex was considered just a form of ‘Free Love’ with any partner! The effect of all this is magnified now, because those who suffered a direct hit (and the children they spawned) are currently in charge of our government, education, media and entertainment. If you are not over 60 years old, you likely have no idea of how or why we are seeing such a downturn of civility, lawlessness and immorality in our culture now. My life’s journey, combined with a renewed faith in Judeo-Christianity, prompted me to share my experiences and opinions in this book. As a passionate current events and cultural news-addict, I am fascinated with how these issues are addressed in this ancient book we call the Bible! I am hoping what I have written will be relatable and interesting enough to provide some food for thought and even some encouragement for those who are facing difficult times. We were all created with unique abilities for a purpose; and those abilities can be used to replace discouragement with faith and hope for the future! About the Author I am a first-time author but have always loved to write, including ‘letters to the editor’ and commenting on news sites! I have worked in many different jobs in both public and private sectors, including several years owning and operating a Childcare Center of fifty three children in partnership with my sister-in-law. I have also dabbled in artwork with several paintings and other items many people liked enough to even pay me for! I now live in Olympia, Washington where I am blessed with three wonderful grandchildren (one in California), plus two great grandbabies and one more on the way! I share my home with a long-haired cat named Ollie who I think would be better suited to living on a farm; but he seems attached to me...(sigh). I am also a member of the Board of Directors in a small Messianic Congregation called Lion of Judah where I enjoy learning more about the faith that makes me a happy warrior in this crazy world!

Live full of faith through hard times Do you ever feel like you can’t take one more thing? You’re on the edge. Your nerves are shot. Your mind is done. Your body is tired, and your emotions are a mess. If you could gather yourself for even a moment you might explode at the reality of all you’ve been through. In the face of the fears, frustrations, and failures of this world, we have a choice. We can sit and stare at the life we live and hope something changes. Or we can rise up and walk in faith. In this Bible study, author and speaker Micah Maddox walks you through the book of James and compares the teaching of James with what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew and the wisdom of Solomon we find in Proverbs. When we discover the themes of what a faith-filled life looked like before, during, and after the time of Christ, we see how Scripture points us to honor God in an active life of faith. This five-week study will help you to: Revisit the foundation of your faith Look to God first in hard situations Discover faith isn’t a list of do’s and don’ts Move from a place of struggle to a place of comfort Gain a fresh perspective on how to live full of faith when feeling tired and tested Includes historical and biblical background insight and questions for reflection. InScribed is a collection of studies that lead women to not just survive but thrive by encouraging them to immerse themselves in the Word of God.

An engaging visual survey of Scripture's main lessons, this Bible companion makes Scripture accessible and memorable for students, laypeople, and anyone curious to know more about God's Word—and have it stick. Saint Augustine once referred to the Bible—this ancient collection of sacred documents—as our "letters from home." If Scripture feels daunting to you in some way. If its pages seem inhospitable. If the Bible isn't the kind of book you're likely to have on your coffee table, accessible to all who enter your home—than this resource may be your key to unlocking the true approachability of the Bible. Much human understanding occurs visually. When it comes to quickly grasping and retaining information, the human brain functions best with a combination of words and pictures. The Most Significant Teachings in the Bible is designed to visually communicate the wisdom of the Bible in an informative and understandable way. Organized into nine major themes that link biblical frameworks to everyday life--such as "Getting to Know God" and "Struggles and Suffering"—this appealing Bible companion brings to vivid clarity the overarching message of Scripture. Inside you'll find: At-a-glance snapshots or infographics of biblical themes and Bible verses. Life application call-out boxes for easy reference. Easy-to-read written summaries of biblical topics and chapters. Useful lists, charts, and other visual aids. God's Word deserves our attention. After all, it's the greatest power on earth. But that doesn't mean it has to be a chore to read and understand. Because, as intimidating as it is, the Bible is our great "letter from home," God's words to us, everything he needs us to know about himself. The Most Significant Teachings in the Bible is your gateway to a greater understanding and appreciation for those words.
