Great Devotional Series For Kids

Back when Jordan was about 6 years old I found this series of books. There are 7 books in all. It's a wonderful discipleship series for parents and their children. I have done this series with Jordan, Alexia, Taylor and Landon when they were around 6 or 7 years old. I just began book 1 called Jesus Makes Us New with Sierra about 1 week or so ago. The first book deals with:
1. A Wonderful Place - Heaven
2. A Problem God Solved - Sin
3. The Perfect Gift - Jesus' Death
4. A Change of Heart - Receiving Jesus
5. I Can Believe - Faith
6. Knowing for Sure - Assurance
The neat thing about this series - particularly this first book is that they give the kids a chance to ask the Lord to be their Savior in chapter 4. With all five children they all asked to accept the Lord after this chapter. It has been something special I will remember with each child. This series is out of print but you might be able to find it on the internet. It is written by Linda Corbin and Pat Dys. I start Book 2 Jesus Helps Us Grow with Sierra. Here are the other 5 books:
Jesus Lights The Way
Jesus Teaches Me
Jesus Wants Us To Obey
Jesus Is God's Son
Jesus Wins The Battle
