Child Training Bible Review and GIVEAWAY!

I have been waiting for this for quite sometime.  I have wanted to post it BUT when the bible I ordered came, IT WAS CRUSHED on one side... so back it went and waited for another to come!!

 I have personally struggled in the area of wanting to draw closer to God, but allowing my  wants and needs to come before HIM.  I have also struggled with wanting to raise my children in a Godly manner and have not done anything about it - UNTIL NOW!! I have come to a point in the road where enough is enough!  NO MORE MY WAY BUT HIS WAY! My deepest desire is that the presence of God dwell in my home and in each of my family members hearts.  I want to see my children at a young age learning and growing in and from the Word of God.  I want them to know that God has the response to everything in His Word.  I want them to know that it does matter how we behave and treat others and that we can go to the Lord with all of these things.

So what is THE CHILD TRAINING BIBLE? 

The Child Training Bible - in my HOME it will be called the Family Training Bible :0).  Is a wonderful tool where we go to the Word of God when we are dealing with certain issues in our home.  We take ourselves and children to the bible on that specific topic. I believe anyone can use this system as we all struggle with areas such as unforgiveness, pride, selfishness, anger, etc.

As parents we want to see our children grow into young adults, always seeking God for guidance.

Proverbs 22:6 says to "train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."

¹⁸ Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. ¹⁹ Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ²⁰ Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, ²¹ so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth. Deuteronomy 11:18-21

So this is what my CTB looks like:

I added a pocket in the back of my bible to hold the extra cards. Very easy yo make. Manila folder, tape and a scissor.  

Tape one side.  Put your cards in and then trim off what you do not need and tape other side.  Trim off the front top so that the cards are showing.  DO NOT TAPE ALL THE WAY UP!

I LAMINATED MY CARDS FOR EXTRA DURABILITY... I LAMINATE EVRYTHING!! 

THAT IS IT!!! LOOKS PRETTY AND IT HOLDS CARDS IN!

So how will we be using it in our home?  Three ways. (1) I will use it as part of our bible time (devotions) with my boys in the morning.  We will look at each "behavior" and expand on it, talk about it, etc. (2) My husband and I will also have it readily available in our kitchen for moments when discipling is needed.  For example, if the boys are yelling at each other in anger, we will sit them both down and use our CTB to bring them to the Word and show them what God says about anger.  (NO MORE YELLING!! - NOT THEM AND NOT ME!!!) (3) I purchased an extra set to make to keep at my parents house - for them and my husband and I, to implement and continue with the same  "training".  My children do spend a lot of time with their grandparents, so we want them (when we are not around) to discipline and train them as if we were - I personally think this is REALLY IMPORTANT. Deuteronomy 11:18-21, tells us that the Word of God should be with them wherever they go. This is what the Lord put in our hearts to do.

This will be a wonderful change and challenge for our family.  We must be consistent and disciplined in going to the CTB.  I know with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE and WHEN WE CALL ON HIM HE IS THERE TO HELP US!
