Wake Up My Children

This book is about waking up God's children. "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Romans 13:11 KJ It is time to wake up His slumbering bride. We have been lulled to sleep by the enemy of our souls and been caught unaware. The enemy has come in just under the wire, not to be seen. I believe the Lord God Almighty has stated to Wake up and warn His children! It is a time to wake up to His call. It is a time to realize our weaknesses. It is a time to stop straying like sheep. It is a time to recognize the tactics of the enemy. It is a time to fight for our family. It is a time to knit together. It is a time to stand. Our country needs a wake up call. It is time to take the blinders off. "He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed," Luke 4:18b NIV This book is power packed with a message for this day and time! The new believer will be captured by the sound of the wake up call and the mature believer will obtain golden nuggets needed for such a time as this. This book has a word for the preparation of the flock. "Wake up His Children" has a warning to be given to the church. "And he (the watchman) sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people." Ezekiel 33:3 NIV This book is written in a thoughtful, from the heart way, for this day and time; a helpful message for everyone.

"What will I do tomorrow? I'm a little curious..." This delightful bedtime story provides a whimsical take on everyday activities. Capture the magic of childhood fun and let your little one's imagination run wild.

My sleep deprivation was affecting every aspect of my life. I read several books on sleep training, as well as blogs and websites. I was at my wits end. After following the program for two weeks, my child was consistently sleeping 11-12 hours a night and was on a consistent schedule during the day! This program has literally given me my life back." - McKel Neilsen "Two months ago I was at the end of my sleep rope with our 6-month-old, boy/girl twins. Exhausted doesn't begin to explain it, I felt desperate. After using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method we feel like we have our lives back. The babies are happy and well rested, and so are we! We have our evenings back to cook dinner, spend time with our 4-year-old daughter, hang out together, and actually do things we enjoy. The process took commitment but has been absolutely worth every bit of it." - Beth Oller, MD "Using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method, my daughter quickly went to a routine nap schedule during the day and sleeping through the night from 6:30pm to 6:30am! Also, rather than the exhausting and often unsuccessful rocking or soothing or feeding to sleep, we were able to put her down awake in her crib and she would fall asleep on her own in just a few minutes. It was just incredible." - Online Review
