Introducing The Dig! {A Giveaway-3 Copies!}

August 5, 2012 By Joy

I want to introduce you to an excellent new resource for exploring the Bible with your kids! It is the brand-new e-book called The Dig. It is written by Patrick Schwenk, a pastor and a dad. He is the husband to Ruth Schwenk, the creator and editor at The Better Mom. But, before I talk about how much I love The Dig, I have to talk about how much I love these two people!!!

Come on a quick journey with me down memory lane……

Ruth and I were roommates in college at Moody Bible Institute, and it was there that Ruth met and fell in love with Patrick {and where I met and fell in love with Dave…I guess they don’t call it Moody Bridal Institute for nothing!}. I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in Ruth’s wedding and a year later, having her in my wedding as well. I have watched Pat and Ruth grow in love for the Lord, each other, and as parents over the years, and that is why I am totally thrilled to endorse wholeheartedly Patrick’s wonderful e-book.

Here is a picture of me, Ruth, and Courtney {from Women Living Well} at the Relevant Conference {now called Allume} last year:

Here is my endorsement of The Dig {I was given an advance copy to review}:

“My kids and I have been happily “digging in” to The Dig for the past few weeks. I am amazed at both the simplicity and the depth of each lesson. Each of my children love the interesting lessons and they are learning SO much!”

What I love about The Dig is that it is solid Biblical teaching, that it is really simple to use, and that it is fun and interesting for my kids. I really couldn’t ask for anything more than that!

A typical Dig lesson consists of the following four components:

1. The Map: The Map tells you and your child where you’ll be going in each lesson. It is a short summary of the study ahead.

2. The Dig: The Dig is the main passage you will be studying. Following each passage will be several questions designed to help conversation and understanding. They are meant to be a guide. You can use them or tweak them to help you talk with your children.

3. The Treasure: The Treasure is the big idea of each lesson. In a short statement, it is what you want your child to remember from the passage you studied.

4. The Display: When an archaeologist finds a treasure, they will clean it up and put it on display for everyone to see. This is the basic idea of the Display. It is the application of the Treasure you have found!

To download a free sample lesson – click here.

And now, I am giving away 3 copies of The Dig here today!! Please leave a comment if you would like a chance to win!!

But, if you don’t want to wait, here is where to buy The Dig now!

Mom Heart Online and a Giveaway!!

March 22, 2012 By Joy

***This Giveaway is Now Closed***

Last year, I traveled across the world to speak at the Relevant Conference {now Allume Social}. I was able to meet Sally Clarkson in person for the first time. Although she began speaking to my heart long before through her books, meeting her was a special treat.

While there, Sally invited me to her room to chat. In flickering candlelight, we sipped coffee and ate decadent chocolate cake with delicate classical music lilting in the background. She provided an atmosphere of loving welcome and beauty this tired missionary mama’s heart needed so desperately. She ministered deeply to my heart as a woman, mother, and missionary. Of course, I left in tears, the good kind. I realized then that what Sally talks so often about, one-on-one discipleship, is exactly what she modeled for me that night. I will treasure the memory of that evening with Sally forever.

Just as she ministered to me that night, she, along with some other beautiful women, have created a beautiful space to minister to mom hearts! I am SO excited to share this with you…..

Today is the official launch day of Mom Heart Online!

What is the purpose for Mom Heart Online?

The ocean of “mom blogs” on the Internet seems to grow wider and deeper every day. You already know that it is impossible to follow every good blog you find as you surf that ocean. If you did, there wouldn’t be much time left for mothering! So, you are right to want to know what makes Mom Heart Online different. Out of all the wonderful mom blogs wanting and deserving your attention, why should you visit us here? Why is it worth your valuable time to spend time here?

Mom Heart Online is spiritual harbor. We’re here not just to bring you in to stay, but also to send you out to sail. We are a place any mom can come to be encouraged, equipped, and enabled as a mother after God’s heart. We are here to inspire and engage your heart with great content that calls you to a high vision for your life as a mother, to create an online community of moms where you can network and interact with others who share your heart, to train you how to easily start and lead your own Mom Heart Group to continue in life what you find online, and to provide quality and original materials and resources that will fill your heart and mind with life-changing wisdom and truth. That’s why!

In honor of this big day, Sally has graciously given me a copy of The Mission of Motherhood to give away to one of you!

To enter, just leave a comment at the end of this post! *Giveaway ends Friday, March 23rd at Midnight*

I hope that you will join me at Mom Heart Online, where together we can meet together as moms and fellowship as we grow in our love for our families, each other, and most of all Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

So, bring your chocolate cake and coffee and I’ll meet you there!
