S5Ep32: Training Young Hearts
This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Sarah Humphrey talk with author Abbey Wedgewood about the latest books in her Training Young Hearts series.
The Training Young Hearts series from Abbey Wedgeworth encourages positive behavior for toddlers by holding out a model for grace based obedience— encouraging kids to run to Jesus with feelings of guilt and shame and to look to the Holy Spirit for help to use their bodies as God intended. The first two titles in this series, What Are Mouths For? and What Are Hands For?, feature dynamic, diverse illustrations and an engaging, exciting lift-the-flap experience.
They are designed not only to be informative and instructive, but to be fun favorites for kids! These books serve as engaging and fun training tools that not only offer examples of how our bodies should and shouldn’t be used, but also offer a framework for introducing the concepts of repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness, and sanctification.
Abbey Wedgeworth is a wife, mother, and writer. The author of Held and the Training Young Hearts series, she is passionate about discipleship and Bible literacy, and loves to see the way that the gospel transforms how people think and live. Abbey lives on the South Carolina coast with her husband, David, and their three children.
