This is our Tuesday’s Treasure for the Taking this week!
The back of the book says this:
God first gave specific instructions for being a parent in Deuteronomy 6. He instructs parents to talk to their children everyday about God and His ways. Everyday Talk offers practical, creative ways to do that. Learn how to use ordinary conversations to show your kids the goodness and wisdom of God. With clear biblical teaching, John Younts illustrates how to lead your children into a greater awareness of the presence and glory of God.
I have not read this book personally, but there are many rave reviews on Amazon if you’d like to take a gander over there and see what the buzz is.
You can also enter to win a free copy of Everyday Talk right here! All you need to do is leave a comment telling us how many years you’ve been married along with how many children you currently have and the age range! (I thought it would be fun to find out a little bit about each one of you!) So I would say I’ve been married 19 years and have 8 children ages 17 down to 1 year. I also have 5 little ones who have gone ahead of us into eternity. If you have children at home with the Lord, be sure to mention them too. I always feel like I’m “leaving them out” when I talk about my children…and it makes me sad to not include them.
If you are a maiden, tell us how many siblings you have and where you fall in the birth order!
If you have any other tips on the subject of having meaningful conversations with children, feel free to pass those on as well!
And now, here are some pictures of our youngest, Peter, who just turned one yesterday. I am looking forward to having many conversations about God with him in the years to come, Lord willing. (I’m secretly praying God will make him a preacher one day…oh…I guess it’s not a secret anymore…)
- WHAAAAAAt is this green prickly stuff I am sitting in???? How can a preacher preach in THIS?!
- My beloved, I’m telling you the truth…believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved!
- Please feel free to come visit my church in a few years. I’m following in Pastor Piper’s footsteps…

Love the pics of Peter. The LORD gave him some amazing eyes.
I’ve been married 10 years. Johnny & I have 3 children ages 7, 4, and 8 months. We also have 1 child with the LORD in heaven.
I’ve already won a book from you, so it’s okay if you don’t enter me in the drawing.
You may enter the giveaway EVERY SINGLE WEEK!!! I always pray before I enter the numbers in the online randomizer thingy…that God would give the book to just the person He chooses. If it’s the same person every week, that is His business! So far it has been pretty spread out though! Thank you for participating Yvette!
I am the oldest of four girls! We range from 15-6.

We’ve been married for 5 years and have a very precocious 2.5 year old daughter and a 9 month old daughter. We love teaching them about God!
Peter has such great expressions, Natalie!
Dan and I have been married 15 years, and we have 6 children here on earth, ranging in age from 1 to 12. Our sweet baby boy went straight to Jesus’ arms in March. Thanks for remembering those little ones in heaven, Natalie. It has been so hard to answer that question in the last number of weeks…

Hi Natalie,
