" I am the way, the truth, and the life...." --John 14:6a (KJV) We live in a world where lies come packaged as fact. Where right and wrong are a matter of preference. And where truth is a matter of how you feel. Now, more than ever, your children need something solid. Something definite. Something they can believe in and trust--without a doubt.
They will look to you for those assurances... to what you say and what you do. When they do "Tell Me the Truth will provide you with seven wonderful stories that will allow you to pass God's eternal truths along to your children.
As you take the time to read these pages together, and as your children " read" the story you are creating with your life, they will see and hear that there are spiritual truths that never change. Truths that have endured the passage of time and will still be valid in generations to come. Truths that they can rest in and depend upon wholeheartedly throughout their lives.
The world's lies will call out and seek to confuse your children. But in the clear presentation of the eternal truths of their Heavenly Father, they will be assured of the hope, strength, and certainty they have in Christ. And coupled with the example of your own walk of faith, the door will be open to the most wondrous miracle of all in your children's lives: a personal relationship with the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
