Pastor Daddy, Check this out...

Sojourn is an A-29 church. Daniel Montgomery, lead pastor, is my A-29 coach. I was checking something else out on Sojourn's site when I saw this...

Sojourn's first children's book, Pastor Daddy, written by Lindsey Blair and Bobby Gilles with illustrations by Tessa Janes, is now available to purchase. You may order a copy online through the publisher for $11.95.

From the preface:“Pastor Daddy was written to teach preschool children the Christian doctrine of the home as a “little church” where the father teaches his family God’s commands and leads them to worship the one true God.The home is the front line of ministry to children—not the Sunday school or public church gathering. All the practices present in a Christian worship service—the Scriptures, prayer, and praise—should be present in the home as well. Pastor Daddy teaches this truth by repeatedly putting church and home side by side—on adjacent pages. God expects parents to teach their children when they sit down for meals, when they drive along the road, when they lie down for bed, and when they get up in the morning. These “pastoral” duties can be daunting for dads. So, Pastor Daddy also serves as a reminder that these duties are done in light of God’s grace shown to us through Jesus’ work on the cross.”
