We say it a lot, readers make leaders. Of course we want our kids to be grounded and Godly! Read these books to your kids or read it and discuss with them as they get older. Just because this didn’t happen growing up doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. This is how we break generational curses.
Struggle to read? Get it in audio, seriously.
