Below is a customized back cover page of Getting to Know God.
The picture was designed
by a mom for the birthday of her son.
The parents believe that a family striving to follow God's ways
is a place where (1) the parents act as the adults, (2) the children feel physically and emotionally safe, (3)
and each person is listened to because everyone matters.

| To the right and below is the mom's explanation; it too is on the back cover page. |
Dear Zachariah,
My picture says: The sun is God’s love and provision for our family.
The house, tree and
garden symbolize our commitment to provide a safe and fun place for you so that you can confidently explore the world.
The smoke coming out of the chimney is the result of the
Holy Spirit’s warmth in the house constantly rekindling our hearts to blaze with his love for you and people beyond
our family.
I will explain it to you in detail as you grow.
Mom
In additon,
to all who read this we share with you that we believe God has helped us to have a vision for our family:
We believe that a family striving to follow God's ways is a place where (1) the parents act as the adults,
(2) the children feel physically and emotionally safe, (3) and each person is listened to because everyone matters.
By, with, and through the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves
to live for you, Zachariah, our vision of a perfect family, which we believe our loving God has placed in our hearts in God’s
journey with us. Letters of Transformation
For everything
there is a price $$.
Their commitment to
their child is priceless.
It is not only
priceless to their son, but also to all of us in our effort to be faithful to God's call to build healthy, loving families
as it was designed from creation, defened by Jesus in his minsitry, restored through his death and confirmed by
his resurrection.
