From the Publisher


Biblical foundation:
Deuteronomy 6:5-7 — “Love God with your whole heart: love him with all that's in you; love him with all you've got! Write these commandments that I've given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night.” (The Message)
Psalms 78:4-6 — “We're not keeping this to ourselves, we're passing it along to the next generation . . . He set his Word firmly in Israel, then commanded our parents to teach it to their children so the next generation would know, and all the generations to come.” (The Message)
