The readings are simply written, with elementary and junior–high children in mind. Each question and answer of the catechism has six days’ worth of devotional readings for families to share together. ![]() Training Hearts, Teaching Minds guides families through the questions and answers in The Westminster Shorter Catechism in Modern English. Recognizing this deficit, Starr Meade has provided Christian parents and churches with a tool for imparting doctrinal instruction to their children. Today, however, the church focuses on teaching Bible stories, which are often used to moralize children and equip them to win Bible trivia contests! In them, children had a concise handbook of important truths they could call upon at any time in confidence. Publisher's DescriptionDoes your child know the key biblical teachings about God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit? What about salvation, Scripture, and the sacraments? Can he or she recite the Ten Commandments and the Lord’s Prayer?Ĭatechisms were once used as instructional guides to help children memorize basic Christian doctrines. ![]() Listen to an interview with Starr Meade entitled Training Hearts, Teaching Minds. ![]()

There are a few lapses, such as one passage describing an event that no one witnessed, but overall this is a powerful narrative of one family’s tragedy. Readers also learn about the suffering endured by Susan’s parents, Chuck and Judy Cox, who had the loss of their daughter compounded by Josh’s deadly response to a custody battle, before he ultimately attacked his boys with an axe and blew up the house with all three inside. ![]() In addition, the marriage had problems for years, amply documented in emails to friends in which Powell indicated that she feared divorce or worse. Here is a quick description and cover image of book If I Can’t Have You: Susan Powell, Her Mysterious Disappearance, and the Murder of Her Children written by Gregg Olsen which was published in.

An important read even today but it stretches at times and is therefore not a riveting literary ride. In its refusal to offer refuge from the bleakness of life in the South it is a consequent and bleak book. ![]() Surprisingly, I didn't find a single review that commented on the tender moments of homoeroticism that McCullers hints at. I came to enjoy the musings and inner life of Mick and Biff especially. Perhaps it needs to be read again today when the widening scissors of wealth leave so many people in poverty and hopelessness, looking for a more and more violent way out. I'm not surprised that the book became a literary sensation in 1940 with its unflinching description of poverty, misery, and loneliness in the South. True, the others don't know what's going on in Singer but Antonopoulos doesn't give a toss either. ![]() The role of Antonopoulos and Singer's extreme attachment to this unpleasant and selfish character never becomes clear.

Many years later, Florence’s son, Julian, will make the opposite journey, immigrating back to the United States. But once in Russia, she quickly becomes entangled in a country she can’t escape. When the Great Depression hits, Florence Fein leaves Brooklyn College for what appears to be a plum job in Moscow-and the promise of love and independence.
