Introducing Godly Character Through Creation: A 12-Month Family Character Study–New Book

Godly Character Through Creation: A Year of Growing Together

As parents, one of our greatest callings is to help our children grow in character and faith. We teach them math and reading, but deep down we know—who they become matters even more than what they know. That’s exactly why I created Godly Character Through Creation.

This book is a 12-month journey through character traits, Bible stories, and the beauty of God’s creation. Each month focuses on a single character quality, like patience, humility, boldness, or joy. Alongside Scripture, we look at animals and nature as living illustrations of God’s truth—helping kids (and parents!) see His lessons all around them.

Perfect for Families of All Ages

One of the joys of this resource is that it’s designed for multi-age families. Whether you have little ones eager to do hands-on projects, middle schoolers ready for journaling, or teens who can dig into deeper Bible study, there’s something for everyone.

Families, co-ops, or even church small groups can all use this book together. It’s written for children roughly ages 5–18, with tiered activities and questions so no one feels left out.

What You’ll Find Inside

  • 12 character traits—one per month
  • Bible stories and devotionals connected to each trait
  • Nature and animal studies that bring lessons to life
  • Discussion questions, journaling prompts, and hands-on activities for different age levels
  • Memory verses to hide in your family’s heart each month

This is more than a curriculum—it’s an invitation to walk through the year with God’s Word in one hand and His creation in the other.

Build a Year of Godly Habits

When families gather around Scripture and look at God’s creation with fresh eyes, hearts are shaped in ways that last far beyond childhood. My prayer is that this book helps your family slow down, open the Word, and grow together in character month by month.

A Fresh Chapter at the Table: My New Cookbook for Smaller-Scale Cooking

As many of you know, I wrote my first cookbook filled with the meals we’ve loved as a family over the years—comforting favorites that fed a crowd and brought us around the table together. That book was born out of everyday life with a big family, filled with hearty casseroles, slow cooker staples, and plenty of baked treats.

But seasons change.

Now, I’ve got a whole new group of kids preparing to leave the nest—some already out on their own—and their needs look a little different. They aren’t feeding a table of ten anymore. They’re just learning how to cook for one or two, and that comes with its own set of challenges and joys.

So I decided to create an updated version of the cookbook—one designed especially for young adults, new homemakers, or anyone cooking in smaller portions.

This new book still includes some of our most-loved favorites, but it’s filled with the recipes we’re enjoying right now—scaled down, practical, and easy to make in a small kitchen. I also added sections I wish I had when I was just starting out, like:

  • How to Meal Prep for One or Two
  • A Sample Weekly Meal Plan
  • What to Include in a Beginner Pantry
  • Simple Kitchen Know-How and Tips
  • Creative Ideas for Leftovers
  • And Large-Print Text (a major upgrade from my older, smaller format)

Whether you’re a newlywed, a college student, an empty nester, or just someone trying to cook a little smarter, this book was made with you in mind.

It’s cozy, helpful, and full of real food made for real life.

Thanks for being part of the journey—and for passing these recipes on to the next generation of home cooks.
