Celebrate the True Meaning of Christmas
Jesus Came for Me introduces toddlers and preschoolers to the story of Jesus’s birth

Bright lights, cookies, presents, and Santa Claus. That’s usually what young children think of when it comes to Christmas. However, it’s important for them to learn what we really celebrate December 25. This year families with toddlers and preschoolers can introduce their children to the real reason for the season with Jesus Came for Me: The True Story of Christmas (New Growth Press/October 19, 2020) written by Jared Kennedy and illustrated by Trish Mahoney.

Every Christmas, we celebrate the coming of the Messiah, but what does that mean for the youngest members of the family? Jesus Came for Me helps little ones learn about the birth of Christ in a personal, memorable way. Created for children ages two to five, this beautifully illustrated board book begins with the announcement of John the Baptist’s birth to Zechariah and ends with the visit of the wise men. They will learn that Jesus is always present, and he helps us believe and wait for him.

“We celebrate that Jesus came for us on Christmas. Jesus, our great God, was born as a little baby. We should share this good news and great joy with all people—including your child,” says Kennedy. “One of the best ways to teach young preschoolers about Christmas is to start early. Start telling the story of Christmas at the beginning of Advent season. As your kids get older, have them act out the events of Luke 2. Maybe the most important thing you can do is to show your kids the impact of Christmas by giving them your time, presence, love, and joy.”

Part of the Beginner’s Gospel Story series (which includes The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible and Jesus Rose for Me: The True Story of Easter), this conversational book simply tells the story of how Jesus came to Earth. It includes simple reflection questions to encourage family or Bible class conversations. Because of the compelling content and modern, vivid illustrations, children will live in the joy of the greatest truth of all: Jesus is with us!

“When your young children or grandchildren snuggle close this Christmas, you’ll want to have this beautifully illustrated board book close at hand,” recommends pastor and author Champ Thornton. “Jesus Came for Me will remind them of the greatest Christmas gift ever. With the freshness and clarity that we’ve come to expect from this acclaimed children’s author, Jared Kennedy brings the story of Jesus’s birth close to heart and home.”

Centering the holiday season on Jesus doesn’t mean removing all popular activities from the schedule. Kennedy encourages, “Watch that Christmas special again. Set aside times to look a Christmas lights with your family. Bake some Christmas cookies! Do all of these activities as a family and with your church community. And let your kids hear you sing those Christmas carols with joy in your heart because your Savior has come!”

[NASHVILLE, TENN., October 19, 2020—] Dr. Sean McDowell is a leading Christian voice on hot-button and controversial topics, including evolution, atheism, evil and suffering, pornography, sexuality. A popular apologist, speaker, podcaster and bestselling author, McDowell brings a Christian worldview to difficult cultural situations.

In his latest book, “Chasing Love: Sex, Love, and Relationships in a Confused Culture” (B&H Publishing, December 2020), McDowell takes on the world’s view of sex, love and relationships. He shares that culture’s view of love is built on a pursuit of self and one’s desires. The Christian worldview, in contrast, comes from Jesus’ invitation to reorient the focus of our lives, so that instead of chasing love for selfish gain, we are first and foremost to give love—to God and to others.

McDowell says, “The point of this book is to motivate readers to chase a bigger question, namely, ‘How do I seek God and His kingdom in my relationships with other people?’ In other words, what does it mean to truly love God and love other people?”

In “Chasing Love,” McDowell tackles some of the toughest questions with which Christians struggle in today’s sex-saturated culture, including:

• How does Jesus speak to singleness?
• What does the gospel say about LGBTQ issues?
• Can sexual sin truly be forgiven?
• Is pornography a big deal?
• How can we address sex abuse?

“Whether readers get married someday or remain single, Jesus invites them to the great task of loving God and loving other people just as he loved them first,” McDowell says. “This book focuses on doing this by loving God and others with our sexuality and in our relationships in the unique cultural moment that we find ourselves.”

“I hope readers will be encouraged to focus on trusting God and his grace amidst their daily struggles. As they understand that forgiveness and growth are part of the process, then they can follow God’s design for sex, love and relationships.”

“Chasing Love” stems from the True Love Waits movement, which began in 1993 as a Bible study resource and social campaign among teens. True Love Waits is a call for teenagers to declare sexual purity for themselves and openly among their peers. “Chasing Love” comes alongside this movement to provide Biblical context for current issues of sexual purity surfacing among today’s teens. In his book and in the “Chasing Love” Bible study, McDowell provides practical counsel on how we can embrace a life of purity by loving God and loving others with both our body and our soul.

McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular young people, to make the case for the Christian faith. He is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. Traveling throughout the United States and abroad, McDowell is a popular speaker for camps, churches, schools, universities, and conferences. He has spoken for numerous organizations, including Focus on the Family, Cru, Youth Specialties and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

McDowell is the author, co-author or editor of more than 20 books. LifeWay Christian Resources will simultaneously release a companion study book to “Chasing Love”: “Chasing Love Teen Bible Study Book.” In this nine-session Bible study, McDowell focuses on what it means to love God and others with our sexuality.

(Colorado Springs, CO)—Magazine Training International (MTI) will head to Ghana in September 2021 to host a series of professional training events for Christians in magazine publishing. If it is possible to gain reliable Internet access for streaming, MTI plans to offer a virtual training event simultaneously. Although MTI has offered online training since 2014, this will be the first attempt to combine virtual training with an on-site experience.

The five-day Introduction to Magazine Publishing Course will be followed by a one-day limited-enrollment Hands-on Magazine Startup Workshop designed to give practical help to participants as they make plans to start a new magazine or restart an existing one. Participants in the course will receive the 240-page “Introduction to Magazine Publishing” coursebook.

The conference will conclude with a four-day Digital Publishing Workshop, where participants will learn strategies for publishing online and gain the tools they need to be successful.

Mercy Kamubra, a participant in the 2019 Introduction to Magazine Publishing course in Côte d’Ivoire, praised the course. “The training did not just encourage me to start a magazine—it showed me how. The exercises were very practical, and I am informed and motivated to do much better in my current publication and in the one I intend to start.”

Training events will be presented in English, but because Ghana is surrounded by Francophone countries, simultaneous interpretation in French will be available. The course book is also available in French.

An international team of 10 trainers will present at the three events.

MTI provides professional development opportunities to Christians in publishing in less-resourced areas of the world. The conference in Ghana is the third training event in MTI’s 10-year training program for Africa. Prior conferences were in Kenya in 2018 and Côte d’Ivoire in 2019.

About Magazine Training International:  The mission of Magazine Training International is to encourage, strengthen, and provide resources to Christian magazines as they seek to build the church and reach their societies for Christ. Over the last 31 years, MTI offered 70 conferences, courses, and seminars in East/Central Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. In addition to courses and conferences, MTI provides online courses and workshops, free e-books, training videos, course manuals in a dozen languages, and other print digital, audio, and audio-visual materials in a resource-packed library on MTI’s website.  More information is available on our website and Facebook.

New book helps kids and preteens understand how God can conquer the giants in their lives

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 14, 2020) – Louie Giglio, the original visionary of the Passion movement that has reached millions young people globally, now brings his message of courage and faith to kids in “Goliath Must Fall for Young Readers: Winning the Battle Against Your Giants.”

Today young people face more pressure and stress than ever before. Issues such as fear, anger, rejection, and anxiety can seem like giants standing in the way of the joy-filled childhood and adolescence parents desire their children to experience. In “Goliath Must Fall for Young Readers,” pastor Giglio shows kids that only God can help them defeat these giants.

“I have learned in my own life that the seeds of most of the giants I’ve faced in adulthood were planted when I was still a boy,” said Giglio. “I’m especially excited that boys and girls, young men and women, are going to be able to step into the power of ‘Goliath Must Fall’s’ truth and see Jesus give them victory over the seeds of fear and doubt and anger and rejection that the enemy wants to plant in their lives.”

Adapted for middle-grade readers from Giglio’s national bestseller “Goliath Must Fall”, this new edition addresses the common struggles kids today have with temptation, social media comparisons, friendships and anxiety. Young readers also will be engaged with call-outs and prompts to help them learn practical strategies to surrender their fears, overcome bad habits, and let go of superficial comforts that are falsely shaped by worldly pressures.

As a pastor, and as one who has ministered to young people around the world, Giglio understands the heartbeat of the next generation. Drawing on decades of experience helping them realize God’s calling on their lives, Giglio speaks with the grace and wisdom kids need to hear as they grow up.

Young readers will learn that they don’t have to settle for feeling stuck in their emotions or thoughts because the God who saved David from the giant Goliath is the same God who can save them today.

“Goliath Must Fall for Young Readers: Winning the Battle Against Your Giants” (ISBN # 9781400223633) will be available Oct. 27, 2020 in hardcover ($17.99) wherever books are sold.
