Hi there, our names are Amy and Eric and we are normal parents trying to raise our kids to become successful Christian adults in a modern world. We love being parents and often it’s fun but it’s not easy, which is probably the same story for you.
All of us want our kids to succeed in life, but what does that look like for a Christian? In this Bible study we will consider how to nurture the fruit of the Spirit in our kids, from love to patience, from goodness to self-control.
How can we show our kids what it means to follow Jesus? What should we be telling them about our faith and morals?
This book is a 10-week Bible study experience that is meant to be done, not just read, and includes a Prayer Experience and a family Serve Experience.

Praying in the Face of Death
“What would you die for?” It is one of the ultimate questions, as we all treasure our lives. Yet, here they are, those who sacrificed their lives for something unseen. Christians who through the centuries have died for their faith and have left to us their prayers. From Stephen who died beneath the walls of Jerusalem in the first century to a young Iranian Christian shot in Tehran in 1981, they continue to speak to us even in their death.
We live in an age of uncertainty, spiritual pluralism and, in much of the western world, material excess. The prayers of the martyrs come to down through the centuries to challenge our assumptions and the “comfortable Christianity” so often delivered from pulpits and television screens week by week. These prayers remind us of the worthiness of Christ and the costliness of the Gospel.
We are humbled by the commitment shown and the price paid. We are encouraged by their honesty and their grace. We are inspired by their vision.
Martyrs’ Prayers comes to remind us and challenge us in our faith.
