This little book gently conveys the most important traits of the Christian life for children to master! Ensure the message of "saved by Grace alone" shines through as you explain how godly character relates to the gospel of grace. Twenty-three student lessons cover traits such as obedience, contentment, gratitude, respect, meekness, discernment, and kindness with a tied-in animal illustration, large-font "big idea" sentence, verse, examples of how to apply the verse (with room for children to think of more ideas on their own), and a prayer. The back of the book features a teacher's guide with an opening activity related to the illustration; the memory verse and definition are repeated on the teacher page as well. Discussion questions are given for follow up. Perfect for use in a classroom or as a family! Grades K-4.

Question: What do our kids need? Answer: They need wisdom. "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7

Designed for parents or teachers to use with children from K-5-through Grade 4, twenty-three lessons illustrate qualities of wisdom and godliness. Each lesson is presented in a simple format with illustrations to capture the attention of the child, and supplemented at the back of the book with suggestions for teaching the lesson. Every child of God - both adults and children - should work hard to show these traits more and more, because we love Jesus and want to be like him. That's easier said than done, isn't it? We struggle with sin every day, and we will fail. The lessons remind us that when we do, we will find forgiveness and the grace to continue to get wisdom at the foot of the Cross.

Looking for a book to use in a summer camp, VBS, backyard bible club, or family devotions? Get Wisdom! 23 Lessons for Children about Living for Jesus by Ruth Younts can help in all those fields. Based on Proverbs 4:7-19, each of the sections takes a strong look at one word: listen, respect, diligence, obedience, plus 19 more. The first half of Get Wisdom! contains a worksheet for each word. These sheets are aimed at elementary school-age children. Each page has an eye-catching illustration. Each provides simple, biblical definitions, Scripture references, questions to answer, and a prayer. The second half of this book is the teacher's guide. Each section in this half gives helps for activities, memory verses, and discussions.

Written by a Christian education director, Get Wisdom! is a good thought-starter for teachers. The lessons embody profound biblical ideas on a level children can understand. This book will help young students gain spiritual insight while creating a hunger for more of God’s Word. – Donna Eggett, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
