Both practical and simple, this beautifully designed book is faithful and interactive to Scripture. Machowski guides families through the Old Testament stories, drawing on his experience as a father of six and family life pastor.</p> <p>Christian parents know the importance of passing the gospel story on to their children, yet we live in a busy world filled with distractions. Schedules collide, homework and laundry and soccer practice await, and before you know it, it's easy to miss God's Word.</p> <p>With just ten minutes a day, five days a week, parents have enough time to pass on the most valuable treasure the world has ever known. <i>Long Story Short</i> is a family devotional program designed to cultivate honest and powerful discussion about the Bible, which is the catalyst for change in children's lives.</p>
