God's P's Promises to Me is a tool created by Su Bacon and Linda Deal to help parents teach children to love God, know his promises, and know he is always there for them. As parents, we can't always be with our children, but God is. It is through God's Word that parents can teach their children to let them know that God is always with them and they are never alone. To believe in God and his love sounds so easy, but when the world's chaos comes crashing down around us, do we really believe? Do we know how to get God's attention? Do we know where the answers lie? The answers are right in front of us, but we can't call on his Word if it has not found a home in our hearts and minds. God's P's Promises for Me is a tool for your child to understand and to know that God does hold the answers to our unending questions.
