Bible study written for boys ages 10 to 14. Ideal for personal devotion, group Bible study, or homeschool Bible curriculum. The life and story of Joseph is well-known ("the coat of many colors"); however, an understanding of how it must apply to the life of growing boys is essential as they enter adulthood. Through Joseph's life in the Book of Genesis, God gives us a guiding light as we walk. Authors Chris and Katy Foster guide boys to love and lean on their Bible, and through the life of Joseph, they discuss family, persecution, perseverance, worship, endurance, girls, work ethic, stewardship, and obedience. Scripture memorization and life applications are also included to offer deeper thought. Side devotions called "A Reflection of Jesus" are also provided. Chris Foster offers loving Christian guidance that is easy for boys to relate to, while Katy Foster shows her "digging deep" passion in a motherly style.

Growing teenage boys constantly see and hear instructions in the world on how to be strong and happy men. These instructions usually conflict with God's instructions. It's frustrating for boys leaving childhood, unsure of what they face. "From a Boy to a Godly Man: A Boy's Bible Study of David" is an eye-awakening and refreshing Bible Study that reflects on the life of David, and then applies God's Word into the reader's life. There are sections throughout the study called "Live It!" where the growing boy is guided and challenged to not just hear God's Word, but to DO it. The book also heavily focuses on obedience, scripture memorization, daily Bible reading (and a love for it!), and prayer. Most importantly, a new realization is grasped that the boy's greatest joy will be his greatest hunger -- to seek the heart of God. Katy Leigh Foster guides with the love of a mother, depicting her interest in Biblical history and a passion to dig deeper into the Bible. Chris Foster adds God-given wisdom and practicality, and personal testimonies as a man seeking after God's own heart.

The Bible challenges us in Romans 12:2 to not be conformed to this world but to be transformed by renewing our minds. Our natural human tendencies are strongly bent toward selfishness. It permeates our being and aggressively reveals itself in our interactions. Our culture seems to be pushing further and further toward the trend of selfishness. In a world of societal pressure, constant competition, and drive for material possessions and pleasure, I challenge you to take a deeper look at your life and ways in which you can kill selfishness. I want to challenge our way of thinking. I want to challenge us to change. I want to challenge not only our relationships but how we view our relationships and those around us. This book will challenge you to take a closer look at your every action to eventually lead a life of selflessness, worthiness, humility, and self-control. If we want to change our world, we must first change ourselves. And in order to truly change ourselves, we must first take an honest, unhindered look inside ourselves to discover how we can kill selfishness to live out selflessness.

What challenges do you face right now? Whatever they are, you are sure to find inspiration, courage and spiritual comfort in Christopher Foster's wise new book, Aging into Bliss.

Writing from his personal experience, Christopher invites you to see the challenges of these difficult, wrenching times -- including the challenge of aging --in a new light. They are a catalyst that can help you grow and discover the masterpiece that you truly are -- the "secret bliss" of your pristine, timeless nature unharmed and unhurt by any of the trauma of your life.
