Books in FOUNDATIONS series

No one knows the origins of viruses. They have been on Earth for so long that it is believed that they may predate the first living cells. Today, viruses are found around the world, infecting bacteria and the cells of plants, fungi, animals, and humans. Viruses are parasites that cannot copy themselves and must invade other forms of life to reproduce. As they invade, viruses can inflict fatal diseases and transform normal cells into tumor cells. In Viruses, examine the life cycles of these tiny parasites, the ways they affect their hosts, and the ways that their ability to mutate present an ongoing challenge to the medical community.

Author Jim Burns believes the key to instilling in children a healthy, values-centered view of sexuality is to start the discussion early--being open and honest at every stage. The Pure Foundations series is already guiding parents of preteens and teens through potentially awkward conversations. Now two fully illustrated books--one for pre-readers and one for early readers--complete the series. God Made Your Body provides the basic foundation that God created our bodies and wants us to honor Him with our bodies. Through engaging text and eye-catching, kid-friendly illustrations, children ages 3 to 5 will learn that boys' and girls' bodies are different--and those differences mean boys and girls can grow up to become daddies and mommies.

Can you believe that the decisions you make today can affect you for the rest of your life? That's why thousands of preteens and teens are committing to the Purity Code. It's a promise to God, your family, and your future spouse to live a life of sexual integrity and purity. It might sound easy, but it actually takes an incredible amount of faith in God and a lot of self-discipline to make it work. To fully live by the Purity Code, you need to understand sex and your body. This book is a must-read if you've ever wondered: What do the changes in my body mean? Am I old enough to go out on a date? How far is too far? What do I do if I think I've been sexually abused? Can I get an STD without having sex? They're probably some of your most embarrassing questions, but you'll need honest answers to make the important decision to keep your body, mind, eyes, and heart pure. With the Purity Code as your lifelong personal challenge, you'll honor both God and yourself, and you'll be healthier and happier for life!
