Key Principles for Living Life with Passion, Purpose, and Victory
Cheryl’s Christian Books
We as Christians must recognize we are living amidst a battlefield between light and darkness. In today’s culture, it is becoming evident that what is right is now wrong, and what is wrong is right. The battle is fierce! We must gird ourselves daily with Scriptural truths to develop hearts of wisdom and discernment, and to speak out loud God’s Word over our challenges onto victory! Jesus is our Victor! His power is within us. If we as children of The King exercise praying and speaking out loud His Word and modeling this to our children, the result will be living with the victory that is already ours in Christ Jesus!

Written in the Stars: The Oral Tradition of Storytelling
Oldenworld Books
Jack Dublin, teller of tall tales, reads from his journal and discusses the importance of teaching children through the power of the spoken word. Across the ages, storytellers from Aesop (fables) to Jesus (parables) told stories to convey great truths.

In the current age, the oral tradition has lost its place of importance to screen-time content delivering messages at odds with our heritage. What might our homes and cities look like if we take back storytelling time?
