A blessing for yourself and a beautiful gift for someone else.
I have a new book to share with you. This time it’s not for you as a wife or mother, but for your children, although I know you’ll enjoy it too. It’s called “Nanny’s Nursery Rhymes for a New Millennium.”
I have always loved nursery rhymes. I loved them as a child and learned most of them by heart. I loved reciting them to our children and they learned them by heart. When looking for children’s books, I looked for those written in rhyme. They are much more fun to read and for the children to listen to. Nursery rhymes are very important for brain and language development. They build memory capabilities, improve oral language skills, and best of all, they are fun and easy to learn. Rhymes provide a certain type of music to the child’s ear. Little children’s eyes light up when they quote rhymes in a singsong meter.
Will you forgive me for saying that I believe children are deprived who are not raised on nursery rhymes? However, although I love the traditional nursery rhymes because of their rhyme and meter, I have not always enjoyed the content. Who likes reading about a mother who whips all her children and sends them to bed without any supper? Who likes reading about the baby and cradle that falls from the tree (although, unbelievably I’ve sung it to my babies hundreds of times). Who likes reading about tripping up a man with bandy legs so he falls on his nose?
Are these the values we want to teach our children? Therefore, my daughters and I decided to write new nursery rhymes-over 60 rhymes with positive content that relate to children in our 21st century. You will find lots of variety. Some are funny, some are about things children love to do, and others instill in them the good things we want to see in our children-to be happy, obedient, smiling, truthspeaking, and to have good work attitudes.
You won’t want to be without this book. It will bring your children hours of pleasure and they will be blessed and inspired at the same time. I have printed this delightfully illustrated book in hard cover (a little more expensive) but important for a nursery rhyme book that lasts generations.

Three Decades of Fertility
Ten Ordinary Women Surrender to the Creator and Embrace Life A Visionary Womanhood Book What would happen if a married woman gave the best years of her life to her Creator? Could He be trusted? Would her life be wasted? Ten women did just that and joyfully discovered that the God of LIFE was faithful. Includes two bonus chapters on optimal health and nutrition for women during their fertile years and beyond. "Any woman who has ever seen two lines on a pregnancy test and tearfully wondered “How will I ever make it through this?” will be encouraged by this book!" Cindy Dyer, Get Along Home "Have you ever wished for an older woman to take you under her wing and share with you the lessons she has learned throughout pregnancy and childbearing? This is your opportunity." Bambi Moore, In the Nursery of the Nation "From trials and difficulties to all the blessings—the reminder that our hope is found in God alone is the cornerstone of this book. We live in a self-centered, self-gratifying world, and this book is a refreshing reminder that God’s way of treasuring the gift of motherhood brings us back to His wisdom and vision for the family." Marci Ferrell, Thankful Homemaker |
THE BIBLE AND BIRTH CONTROL
by Charles D. Provan
A scriptural discourse on this subject.
CUSTOMER REVIEW:A good source for *honest* Christians...
Provan's book makes a very good case against contraception and the contraceptive mentality. "Very good" is an understatement -- "airtight" is more fitting.
His presentation is excellent and his provision of church leaders to prove that prior to the 20th century *all* Christians new that contraception was sinful.
Unfortunately, I have a hard time getting people to read the book. They will dismiss it apriori by saying that the world "needs" contraception, or that "scripture doesn't specifically forbid it" (which is semantic dancing), or "since contraception didn't exist in biblical times, it can't have said that".
I fear for those who dismiss Provan's arguments based on the thought of the worldly. They may call themselves Christian, but they are not following God or Christ.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HAVING CHILDREN
By Nancy Campbell "BE THOU THE MOTHER OF THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS, AND LET THY SEED POSSESS THE GATE..."Can you imagine attending a wedding where the family and friends offered the above blessing to a new bride? Yet these words of encouragement, once offered to Rebekah on the advent of her marriage to Isaac (Genesis 24:60), beautifully communicate the heart of God's command to Christian husbands and wives that they be exceedingly fruitful and raise children who will influence all of culture and society for the glory of God. There is no escaping the fact that the Bible is dogmatically prochild. In fact, it declares unapologetically that the birth of many children is a source of blessing, that a key reason for marriage is to bring forth many children for the glory of God, and that parents should actively seek such blessings. But if this is true: Why do so many Christian married couples chose to "cut off their seed?" What if any biblical basis exists for deliberately thwarting the birth of children? Is it ever "good stewardship" top prevent children on the basis of financial concerns? These and related questions are examined in the light of Scripture in this groundbreaking study guide for Christian Couples prepared by Nancy Campbell.

WHAT SOME HAVE TO SAY ABOUT BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY:“BFM was such a blessing to my husband and me. For a long time I have had so many questions that I could not find answers to. Thank for making it all clear! We are planning to use your book as a devotional with our children.” “Thank you for this beautiful book. I see that it is not of yourself but the Word of God. Thus, the beauty is all the purer!” “This is the best book I've read on this subject.” “I’m reading “Be Fruitful and Multiply” for my third time. I love it.” “BFM is a light in the darkness.” “I will never be the same! BFM brings the Bible to light in a shining, warm and enlightening way.” “I cannot even express, how intrigued I was with BFM--the research, the statistics, the credibility and the Scriptural truth.” |

GATE-KEEPERS OF THE HOME HOW TO GUARD YOUR HOME
by Nancy Campbell This manual studies the twelve gates of Jerusalem that Nehemiah rebuilt, relating it to building, repairing and guarding the gates of your home. It is a great study for Bible Study groups. You will be encouraged in your powerful calling as the Watchwoman of your home. ”When I read your manuals I feel like I am getting the most perfect, Godly, motherly guidance. My mom passed away when I was 21 and I have truly missed her motherly advice. I feel God bathing me in it through your manuals.” “Our Ladies Group is using your "Gate-Keepers" study manual for our Wednesday night meetings. We started the first chapter tonight and we followed your suggestion to split up into smaller groups for prayer (there are only 10 of us in the group). It really helped us focus and spend more time praying for each person. We were surprised at the amount of discussion we had on only the first chapter!” |
