Publisher's Synopsis
This Guide is designed to help you teach The Divine Deal. It summarizes the chapters and offers suggestions on how to best drive home the points of the book for each chapter. What we are striving for is to help you to get on the same level of each child and connect emotionally with them so that meaningful biblical epiphanies can be formed in each child's mind for a lasting impact, bottom line. Life is a BLUR as a parent, and sometimes our only conversations with our children consist of "Please just give me peace... or GO CLEAN your room!" When do we really sit down and talk about the things that are important in life with our children? So many times, we just don't. There is wisdom based on life experiences and knowledge gained that we want to share with our children but may never have the chance to. That became very real to me, when I lost both my mother and my husband within one week of each other. Tragedy has a way of giving life, like the way seeds are sown. A seed must die before it can spring forth with new life. Now, what was once just a frustration and something too difficult for me in my own mind became a mandate from the Holy Spirit in a "burning bush" moment for me when God spoke very clearly several times to WRITE THE BOOK. It was then "The Divine Deal" became a reality now dedicated to my mother and my children. Although, at first being written just for my children, the realization that this was something too important not to share with others also became very real to me at the same time and especially when several people confirmed the same, "The Divine Deal" was published for all parents wishing for their children to KNOW MORE as they come out of the Gate of Life. The book tackles the questions many youth are asking now like... Who am I? Why am I here? What is most important in life? And HOW do I go about achieving SUCCESS in EVERY ASPECT of life? There are fourteen chapters on unlocking God's plan for their life and truly gaining understanding of some of life's biggest questions. With almost 200 significant life changing scriptures and quotes, I did my best to make sure each child will have just about everything they need to know before making some of life's most important decisions. I really tried to cover the bases. The book drives home the understanding that real love is the key to A LOT OF THINGS and they'll gain understanding on... how to resist temptation overcome fear and anger how to truly forgive build their faith do their best the process of making the right decisions Discovering who their greatest fans are And so much more. We created a bible study series that will serve to be useful in a church youth group setting as well as a home setting for family devotionals. My hope is that it will get parents and their children talking about some of life's biggest ponderables... before it's too late.
