Reflections From God's WordXulon Press, 2008 - 96 pages Reflections from God's Word: A Guide to Jesus for the Family of Christ has been a labor of love and a joy to write for Lynn Miller. This book was written as a tool to help children and their parents develop a closer relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through God's Word. The Bible lessons in this book are designed to be read together as a family. The family also prays together while reading this book. Praying together strengthens loving bonds of natural and Christian family ties. At the end of each lesson, there are Quick Notes to Parents that offer intricate details concerning the lesson's focal points, some definitions and important information about spiritual issues. African and Hebrew Proverbs offer parallel examples of each lesson's main idea. It is the author's hope that this book will help children and their parents to develop a strong desire for prayer and more opportunities to read the Bible together as the family of Christ. Mrs. Lynn Miller, a retired early childhood/elementary schoolteacher, lives with her husband, Willie Miller in Chicago, Illinois. Mrs. Miller received both her Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Education from National College of Education of National Louis University in Evanston, Illinois. She loves to serve the Lord "whenever and however he calls" her to serve Him; and has done so since her childhood. Her parents, Mr. Jesse and Mrs. Alathia Evans taught her and her brother by example, that it is a blessing to love and serve the Lord. She teaches Sunday School at her church, Evangelistic Crusaders Church of God in Christ in Chicago, Illinois, where her husband serves as an Elder (2nd Associate) to the Pastor. This is her first book. She plans to write more books that help children to learn more about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. |
