Deep dives
Importance of Writing The Book
The authors wrote the book, 'The King Who Found His Self-Control,' because they noticed a lack of biblical resources on teaching self-control to children. They were in a parenting class where self-control was being discussed, and they wanted to provide a resource for parents that was both practical and rooted in biblical principles.
Creating the Characters and Storyline
The authors explained how they came up with the characters and storyline for the book. They wanted to use old names for the characters and use allegorical references to communicate important concepts. They introduced 'King Ira' as the main character who lacks self-control and seeks guidance from 'Lady Wisdom.' The storyline revolves around King Ira's journey towards self-control and the importance of relying on God's wisdom.
Emphasizing the Gospel and Importance of Modeling
The authors highlighted the importance of the gospel in teaching self-control. They emphasized the need for children to understand their sin and the role of Christ in transforming their hearts. They also stressed the significance of modeling repentance and confession as parents, acknowledging that no one is perfect and that parents need to seek accountability and support from mature Christians in their church community.
Join Costi and his wife, Christyne, as they talk about why they wrote their new children’s book, “The King Who Found His Self-Control." In addition, they talk about life in the trenches as young parents, how to move from “hanging fruit on trees” to planting gospel seeds of truth in your kids, and the importance of the gospel. They share details on how they wrote the book, along with how you can take the step as a family when it comes to self-control.
