Back-to-school is once more upon us! Along with all the books and school supplies your kids need for the coming year, this is also the perfect time to stock up on reading materials that will help build their faith and encourage them in their walk with God.
Here at Focus, we have you covered with our new back-to-school catalogue. It’s brimming with a wide selection of books and resources that will entertain, educate, and build the faith of each member of your family.
While I would readily recommend every item in our catalogue, here are a few select items I’d like to highlight for you.
Parents
Signals: How Brain Science and the Bible Help Parents Raise Resilient Children
Would you like to improve the emotional intelligence of your kids? Signals offers a simple, relational approach to help you become aware of your emotions, their impact on others, and how to implement this technique in your home, school, or ministry. Signals is also useful for kids with special needs, including those with autism.
The One Year Praying Through the Bible for Your Kids
As parents we want to protect our children; we want them to move forward in life; most importantly, we want them to take hold of and grow in Christ. And while the advice offered by parenting experts can be helpful, at some point we realize there are no simple formulas or sure-fire methods. We need wisdom from God’s Word for this all-important task.

Kids
The Imagination Station #34: Drought, Wind, and Fire
When kids step into the Imagination Station, they travel back in time and across the world with cousins Patrick and Beth. Each book is historically accurate, and young readers will grow in their faith and knowledge of big historical events as they race through each unforgettable story. Drought, Wind, and Fire takes readers back to the time of the prophet Elijah.
If Jesus Came to My School
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, a young girl learns how Jesus’ love can shine at school through her compassion, kindness, and inclusion. Through rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, children will be inspired to make a difference in their schools through their actions. Because as they treat each other right and classes become families, Jesus truly will be in their school.
