I have HOLY WEEK, PSALMS OF PRAISE and JESUS HEALS. As a volunteer leader in children's ministry I am always looking for resources and I LOVE to share books with children. I love the simple language and beautiful bright pictures and board books are so sturdy!
Holy Week is so beautiful for adults and children alike to reflect on the tumultuous mix of emotions surrounding the last week of Jesus' life as we re-live this to some extent each year. Children understand big emotions and it's so wonderful to know Jesus does too.
I love that Jesus Heals talks about healing while teaching about bodies, and Psalms of Praise is a great one to practice actions with.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
PRAISE
"The gift of Traci Smith's new book is that you can open it anywhere and find one simple, lovely thing to do, pray, tell, or make with your family that day (or let's be honest, as Traci is, maybe the next day) to add joy and meaning to the holiday season. Advent is a time to draw near to God as God draws near to us in the birth of Jesus, and Faithful Families for Advent and Christmas is brimming over with wonderful, easy suggestions to help you do just that."
— Wendy Claire Barrie, author of Faith at Home: A Handbook for Cautiously Christian Parents
"The beautiful thing about this book is that even though a plethora of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany practices are presented, author Traci Smith does not overwhelm families, but instead manages to encourage them to celebrate sacred moments and find together the true meaning of this holy season. This book truly is a treasure."
— Glenys Nellist, author of Twas The Evening of Christmas and Twas The Season of Advent
"As promised, far from taxing families with MORE to do during hectic Advent and Christmas seasons, Rev. Traci Smith offers families what we really need: LESS to do. In each of these simple, hands-on practices, Smith gives families the tools to slow down, wait, and the focus on all that Jesus coming into the world means. This is a must-have for any family or children's ministry leader's library."
— Caryn Rivadeneira, author of Grit and Grace: Heroic Women of the Bible
“Can you have too much of a good thing? Not if you’re talking about Traci Smith’s creative ideas for infusing faith into daily life. This book is a gift to all who want to enrich the spiritual lives of families as they celebrate Advent and Christmas with one another. Within these pages are rich insights, honest prayers, and compelling practices. Unwrap them with your family and enliven the spirit and the spiritual of the holidays.”
— David M. Csinos, Founder of Faith Forward and Assistant Professor of Practical Theology at Atlantic School of Theology
"Christmas can be overwhelming and the faith we affirm can get lost in the shuffle. Faithful Families for Advent & Christmas will help families claim their home as a sanctuary from the overwhelming rush of Christmas. Families will also find everything they need to prepare for and celebrate Christmas. Families of all sizes and ages will find ideas to deepen their faith and grow closer to each other."
— Lee Yates, Project Manager for InsideOut Outdoor Ministries Resources
"As a parent of young children myself, Traci’s words speak freedom and grace directly to my heart. I cannot wait to use this book with my own family! She has integrated our chaos and limitations right into the beautiful and sacred, empowering us to approach a holy season with gentle, manageable, and meaningful intentionality. In Faithful Families for Advent and Christmas, Traci creatively turns all kinds of simple acts into opportunities for both sweet and profound connection. She brings a holistic embrace to Advent and Christmas by guiding us into spaces where we can feel and honor all the emotions we might experience."
— Arianne Braithwaite Lehn, author of Ash and Starlight
"Traci Smith's beautiful new book is an invitation to create and savor new traditions and rituals during the Advent and Christmas seasons. Instead of being distracted and disheartened by the usual culprit at the holidays—consumerism and its shallow promises and payouts—Smith shows us how to grow hope, peace, love, and joy in our homes. Full of fresh, engaging, and helpful prompts and ideas, this book is a gift!"
— Jennifer Grant, author of A Little Blue Bottle and Maybe God Is Like That Too

This book is my first foray into Traci Smith's work. It is direct, to the point, and easy to adapt practices and think through concepts for children.
I have a background in child development, and even have dabbled in children's ministry, but I still flounder. (I am definitely a youth and college minister.) This book makes the process of Advent, Christmas, etc. relatable and me able to work with children, both the ones I'm raising and others.
I highly recommend it as a primer and it goes well paired with Shadow and Light (also sold in this store.)

ABOUT THE CREATOR
Muscadine Press is a Christian ministry devoted to equipping and empowering the people of God to cultivate a faithful life. We launched in 2015 as a branch of founder Leslie Ann Jones' writing and teaching ministry. Leslie Ann had been designing custom stationery on the side for quite some time and really enjoyed the work, but she felt the Lord leading her in a new direction: one that combined her love for pretty paper with her passion for the Word of God. So she closed up her stationery shop and set out to design a line of faith-based products designed to help people draw near to the Lord. She started with the Dwell Journal, moved on to art prints, and eventually added a line of stationery. In 2017, she began to feel the Lord leading her to yet another transition: a new name for the LAJ Shop. After months of hard work and navigating all the little details that go into such a big change, we re-launched as Muscadine Press in 2018.

30 Children's Sermons Series by Phyllis Vos Wezeman, Anna Liechty, and Kenneth Wezeman
Each children's sermon in the 30 Children's Sermons Series follows a consistent format based on five basic components: passage, purpose, preparation, presentation, and prayer. For use by clergy and lay leaders in preaching to children from kindergarten to fifth grade. The sermons are also adaptable for younger children as well as middle school-aged children.
All books include cross-references to valuable teaching tools — hymn stories, Scripture, and theological themes — that make for a user-friendly resource that will appeal to a multi-age audience.
Taste the Bread contains 30 sermons focusing on biblical stories and theological themes regarding Holy Communion.
Touch the Water contains 30 sermons on Holy Baptism on topics which include Cherished by God: Abraham’s Covenant, Covered by Grace: Water’s Message, Empowered for Ministry: Jesus’ Baptism, and Gifted for Life: Baptism’s Remembrance.
Wipe the Tears confronts the difficult yet important subject of death. The authors skillfully and compassionately use the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures to approach to subject of death in each sermon: demonstrating God's desire to save humankind; showing how the psalms challenge and comfort us; and sharing the victory over death through Christ's resurrection.
Tell Me a Story links ordinary Sundays and special days of the church year to best-loved children's books, such as I'll Always Love You; The Selfish Giant; Miss Fannie's Hat; and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, to name a few.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR & ILLUSTRATOR
Matthew Paul Turner is a photographer, speaker, and author of numerous books, including the bestselling When God Made You and When I Pray for You.
UK-based illustrator Kimberly Barnes has worked with top clients such as Little Tiger, Top That Publishing, Igloo, and Macmillan Education. Her love of drawing began at a young age and fostered into a career in illustration, specializing in children's illustration. She enjoys the regular cup of tea and isn't partial to the odd biscuit or two.
PRAISE
A mother with wide, emerald eyes cradles her blanketed infant: “from the moment I saw you,/ I started to pray./ Big prayers and small ones/ I have sent God’s way.” As the child grows from a baby to a girl, the mother is encouraging yet watchful: “I pray you grow strong, have passion and fight./ And stand up for what’s good with all of your might.” Barnes’s ebullient artwork shows the child at a pool party, reading to her peers in a book nook, and playing in a band. A final spread shows that the child has not yet grown up; instead, the mother holds her baby on a hilltop under a gentle sky, projecting a life to come. New moms will welcome the wistful tone and scenes of a child’s joyful discoveries.
—Publishers Weekly
In this cheerful, reflective rhyming children’s picture book, author Matthew Paul Turner shares a parent’s prayer for a child to grow up in the love and light of God: “I pray you love well.\ That the light in you swells.\ That the story God writes is the one that you tell.” The parent prays for the child’s joys, achievements, fears, and dreams, reminding the child, “When I pray for you, I imagine God’s view\ And pray all that God sees comes alive inside you.” Turner’s hopeful, encouraging poetry is complemented by illustrator Kimberley Barnes’s pictures of vivacious, ethnically diverse characters and bright, buoyant settings of home, playground, nature, and more. When I Pray for You would make an excellent gift to parents of newborns and to children at the time of their baptism.

PRAISE
“Emily Freeman’s luminous words hand you your rightful birthright: to be as creative as your Creator Father. Read them and exhale. These pages just might really wow you awake to who you are meant to be.”
— Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts
“Dear World, Prepare yourself. Enjoy your last day of being filled with fear and guilt and wondering if what you do really matters, because this book will forever change the way you see everything you do from the mundane nightly dishes to your most risky creative endeavor. I’ve been waiting all my life to read these freeing words”
— Myquillyn Smith, The Nester, author of The Nesting Place
“This book is a word-painting, a shout from the rooftops, that deep within each of us, we all are God’s poetry—the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, the housewife, the sculptor, the newspaperman, the carpenter. This book scares me a little, because it makes me ask myself not, what if I’m not an artist—but, what if I am? Emily has an extraordinary gift, and she shares it with us in this remarkable book.”
— Tsh Oxenreider, author and blogger at TheArtOfSimple.net
“I read this book during a time where my art, my writing, felt more like wrestling with lions than soaring with creativity. Emily’s words ignited something new and fresh and invaluable deep within me. Let this book help you release the art you were made to create and live!”
— Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author
“Emily Freeman is one of my favorite artists and speaks with authority, calling out the artist in all of us. Don’t read this unless you’re willing to be moved and rethink what you know about art, faith, and humanity.”
— Jeff Goins, author, Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into Your Comfortable Life
“Emily Freeman is one of the most gifted writers I have ever read and A Million Little Ways is an extraordinary achievement. In this delightful, insightful, and life-giving book, with deep faith and a gentle sense of humor, Emily speaks openly, honestly, and directly of the journey to knowing and becoming one’s true self. This passionate book penetrates the soul, and it will challenge you and inspire you in the most wonderful of ways.”
— Fil Anderson, author of Running on Empty and Breaking the Rules
“I’m tempted to say that if I’d been handed this book of Emily’s 20 or 30 years ago, I’d have written many more songs and shared them sooner. The idea that I am a poem and so are you, together God’s masterpiece, that all of this life is a walking installation piece, changes the way I think of living, breathing, loving, writing, and singing. It’s gorgeous and freeing, and most importantly, it’strue. And as if the arrow-to-the-heart message of hers weren’t enough, the way Emily carries it home with phrases that read like song lyrics make every single paragraph a pleasure for the artist in me. She calls me out and up, and articulates the soul of my own struggle with art-making and sharing, even after years of doing it. She makes you want to shine. I’m personally deeply grateful that this book exists and have added it to my short list of must-reads for artists.”
— Christa Wells, Singer/Songwriter

David Catrow is an editorial cartoonist whose vibrant illustrations have appeared in more than seventy children's books, including several New York Times bestsellers, such as I Ain't Gonna Paint No More and I Like Myself. He makes his home in Ohio.
PRAISE
ECPA bestseller
“The book opens with two young black girls with hair in cornrows, a rambunctious mutt, and a playful cat engrossed in creative indoor play. The rhyming text seems to draw the girls outside as sunshine spills through their large window. “Dance in the grass. / Go climbing in trees. / Build castles with sand. / Face the wind; feel its breeze.” Ebullient illustrations in Catrow’s signature style depict the two girls and their pets as they frolic and explore in their own backyard and beyond, employing chiaroscuro with often dramatic effect. Throughout, both pictures and text revel in God’s creation, light in particular and its glowing presence in the sun, moon, and stars as well as within the children themselves…A life-affirming exploration of the common grace of creation and appreciation of the miraculous in every day.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“This is a joyful riot of colors and enthusiastic children and pets playing and celebrating how amazing and wondrous our universe is. Filled with fanciful and bold illustrations, it makes me smile every time I read it. Your kids will, too!”
—Doc Kirby, WTBF, Troy, AL

One: Unity in a Divided World by Deidra Riggs
Our world needs fewer walls and more bridges. Be a bridge builder.
Our world is marked by disagreements and division, and sadly, so are many of our churches. But Jesus said we would be known by our love, not our hate. How do we begin to unify amidst varying opinions, preferences, and political leanings?
In One: Unity in a Divided World, author Deidra Riggs offers words of hope for the family, the church, and our communities. Riggs offers stories as examples of bridge-building in the midst of a world torn apart. Readers find inspiration, encouragement, and hope for unity.
Jesus didn't say the world would know we are his followers by our rhetoric, our political leanings, our charity work, or even by our knowledge of Scripture. He said the world would know us by our love for one another. Yet it's so easy to put others at arm's length, to lash out, to put up walls.
Deidra Riggs calls us to put our focus on self-preservation aside and, like Jesus, make the first move toward reconciliation. She helps us understand that we are secure in God's inexhaustible love, making us free to love others lavishly--not just in what we do but in what we say, what we don't say, what we will endure, and what we will forgive.

Through her writing and speaking, Riggs seeks to offer a gentle nudge to the status quo. She additionally seeks to help readers and listeners fully embrace the present life, the only space in which we can receive the best of love.
PRAISE

Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World by Emily P. Freeman
Our obsession with bigger and faster is spinning us out of control. We move through the week breathless and bustling, just trying to keep up while longing to slow down.
But real life happens in the small moments, the kind we find on Tuesday, the most ordinary day of the week. Tuesday carries moments we want to hold onto--as well as ones we'd rather leave behind. It holds secrets we can't see in a hurry--secrets not just for our schedules but for our souls. It offers us a simple bench on which to sit, observe, and share our stories.
For those being pulled under by the strong current of expectation, comparison, and hurry, relief is found more in our small moments than in our fast movements. In Simply Tuesday, Emily P. Freeman helps readers
- stop dreading small beginnings and embrace today's work
- find contentment in the now--even when the now is frustrating or discouraging
- replace competition with compassion
- learn to breathe in a breathless world
Jesus lived small moments well, slow moments fully, and all moments free. He lives with us still, on all our ordinary days, creating and redeeming the world both in us and through us, one small moment at a time. It's time to take back Tuesday, to release our obsession with building a life, and believe in the life Christ is building in us--every day.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emily P Freeman was desperately trying to keep pace with a fast-moving world, a trusted friend gave Emily this advice instead – Celebrate your smallness.
As mom of three kids, an author of four books, and a recovering perfectionist, Emily knows the allure of hustle. But those three words – celebrate your smallness – have become for her a haven of discovering all the ways Jesus wants to be a kind companion for her soul in all the ordinary moments of life, especially the kind she finds on Tuesday.
Now she’s written down some of these simple Tuesday discoveries in her newest book, Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World.
PRAISE
"Simply Tuesday has done my soul a world of good. It's a beautiful invitation to slow down, embrace our smallness and our ordinary moments, and to enjoy the company of our Creator in each one. It's helped me to know how to live out the song I sang as a child, 'This is the day that the Lord has made! I will rejoice and be glad in it.' This book is like a deep breath for my soul."
—Ellie Holcomb, Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter
"We live in a time where we are led to believe that everything bigger is better and something in my soul has been telling me for a while now that isn't necessarily the case. And that's why I am so thankful for Emily Freeman's new book, Simply Tuesday. Emily has a way of putting an idea on the page in a way that is heartfelt and authentic and paints a picture that you've seen in your head but been unable to articulate. Simply Tuesday is a call to appreciate the small, simple things in life, and as I read it I found myself breathing a deep sigh of relief and nodding my head yes and basically underlining every other sentence. Do yourself a favor and read this call to simplicity by Emily. You won't regret a minute of it!"
—Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author of Nobody's Cuter Than You
"In a world where bigger, better, faster, and louder are celebrated and valued, it may seem silly to go on a search for smallness. Simply Tuesday proves why such a journey is not only important, but is vital to a fulfilling existence. Within the pages of this beautifully crafted book, Emily Freeman reveals how the kingdom of God can be found in the ordinary days, quiet moments, openhanded surrenderings, and honest confessions. Whether you are looking for meaningful standards of success, relief from worldly comparison and pressure, or direction for your lost soul, Simply Tuesday promises a journey with great rewards."
—Rachel Macy Stafford, New York Times bestselling author of Hands Free Mama
"It doesn't hold the thrill of a new beginning or the anticipation of almost-finished. It's simply Tuesday. An ordinary day filled with beautiful, breathtaking moments I missed, until Emily Freeman taught me how to see. Through small-moment living, my hurried heart is learning how to slow down and savor. How to search less and find more. How to leave margin in my schedule and sacred space in my days to let my soul breathe. If you are tired of wanting more while secretly longing for less, this book is for you!"
—Renee Swope, bestselling author of A Confident Heart; Proverbs 31 Ministries' Radio cohost of Everyday Life with Lysa & Renee
"Emily Freeman is a compassionate friend on the journey. Her gentle words and charming spirit shine a warm and glittery light on all that is beautiful in our ordinary days and our everyday ways. What if there is blessing in the way of small beginnings? What if God takes great delight in the simple acts of bench-sitting and gate-opening and being kind to our next-door neighbor? What if the kingdom of God is built on tiny, little gestures on simple days like Tuesday? Emily invites us to consider the grace in God's counterculture invitation to embrace small things; things like the one-inch living of a simple Tuesday. This book is a delight and a gift."
—Deidra Riggs, author of Every Little Thing; blogger at Jumping Tandem
"Emily Freeman is a writer after my own heart. She's not afraid to be quiet, to move at a leisurely pace, and to think probably a little too hard about things. She believes that meaning and delight and revelation are found in the small moments. Her writing will slow you down, help your soul exhale, and show you that Tuesday, and every ordinary day, is full of magic."
—Adam S. McHugh, author of The Listening Life: Embracing Attentiveness in a World of Distraction
"Many of us are living at an unhealthy pace. We run from one task to another to another. We end up skimming the surface of life. This book challenges us to be present in the moments that we find ourselves in, and to live at depth with others."
—Dave Runyon, coauthor of The Art of Neighboring
"Emily Freeman writes like a trusted friend and speaks countercultural good news to all of us. In a society where more is more, her desire to celebrate her 'smallness' is refreshing and inspires us to pay attention to what God is doing in the ordinary everyday of our lives. I deeply resonated with these themes."
—Jill Phillips, Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter
"Emily Freeman is one of the most gifted writers I have ever read"
— Fil Anderson, author of Running on Empty and Breaking the Rules
