As we stepped up to the school entrance, a warm, welcoming smile awaited us. “Hi, how are you doing?” I said to my friend. “I am great, just thought I should let you know my mum took your book and refused to drop it ever since!” she responded. “Ok, that’s wonderful to hear. I’m so […]
Clutching the railing, I dragged myself up the stairs. Every step home felt like a mountain, my body still heavy from weeks of battling typhoid fever. Fear gripped me as exams loomed closer, yet I was far too ill to remain on campus. My family was stretched thin with worry. My heart ached for my […]
Mummy, am I growing every day? Yes, you are! But why do you ask? I found myself curious about what sparked this question. “Mummy, I want to be big like you.” That question truly took me by surprise! This is one of those kitchen conversations every mom knows by heart. In her innocent heart, she […]

I spent the last week putting something together for my daughter. I am excited to share this resource with your kids as well. My daughter has Bible Stories but she has always read through the Bible since she began to read. I prepared topical Bible Studies from simple verses. I am giving eight of these […]
