Books with author Carine MacKenzie

The stories in the Bible are adventures that happened to real men and women, boys and girls just like you, who lived during exciting times. They faced up to problems and danger with God's help. Perhaps they sometimes felt like giving up - but with God's strength they struggled on. Read about these amazing people in the Bible and begin your own adventure with God.

When you have problems you need some good advice. You can't sort out your problems on your own. God gives the very best advice. He has given you a book full of wise words to obey. These words will help you to live a full and happy life.Some of these helpful sayings are collected in this beautifully illustrated series of books for young children and best-selling author, Carine Mackenzie, has added a few words of her own to help you understand what God wants you to do with your life.

Our chief purpose in life is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. God has revealed to us so much of his character and work in creation and providence and the Bible to help us to do this.We will never grasp the great extent of his being but we can enjoy the little that we do understand. We cannot see the beauty and wonder of the whole world but we can enjoy even the view of the garden from the kitchen window or simply the little bird in the sky.I pray that as you use this little book, you will see something of the wonder, majesty and glory of God. May this book help you to thank God for what he has told you about himself and then you will glorify and enjoy him.

At the beginning of time a promise was made by God. He promised to save from sin by sending his Son, the Saviour. One after the other people heard the message and told the world about God's plan to send a Saviour, God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.The promise that was made in the Garden of Eden came true in the Garden tomb, when the Saviour who was sacrificed, crushed death and came back to life.All through history God had told the world that this would happen - and it did!The promise was kept.

Outside the city walls there are three crosses on a hill. Darkness covers the world. The Son of God has died but daylight is coming and three days later death has lost. Jesus Christ is the victor! This is the Easter story - a story of life, hope and the forgiveness of sin! For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

The church is more than a building. The church is a group of people - a worldwide group of people that spans the whole of history. It includes those who worshipped God and looked forward to the promise of the Saviour and those who worshipped God and saw the fulfilment of God's promise in the Lord Jesus Christ. But it doesn't stop there - if you love and trust in Jesus Christ today you are part of this amazing group of people too. Jesus Christ has promised to build his church - he adds to it daily - he cares for it more than we can understand.Children and families need to know the truth about the church because children are not just the church of tomorrow, they are the church of today.

The commandments of God were kept perfectly by Jesus Christ and other people too were helped by God to follow his laws and obey his word. Zaccheus was a thief whose life was changed around by meeting Jesus Christ so that he gave his money away instead of stealing it. David was a warrior who when given the chance to kill his enemy chose to obey God's word instead. Joseph kept the seventh commandment by refusing to obey his bosses wife but was thrown in prison as a result. All the commandments are covered as well as the true stories surrounding Mount Sinai and God's writing of the ten commandments on the two stones. A fascinating retelling of a vital part of scripture. Children will love it and parents will love the positive teaching it gives on how we can obey God.
