From the Author:
The Fairfield Friends help kids develop Christian character.
Escaping from a forest fire, preventing a paddle boat from going over a dam, and fighting a green-eyed monster are some of the adventures that the Fairfield Friends encounter in Blaze on Rocky Ridge. Who are the Fairfield Friends? The Fairfield Friends are six ethnically diverse neighborhood kids who find themselves involved in a variety of problems and adventures. As they seek to solve the problems, they learn important Biblical truths, developing Christian character traits along the way. Each of the four books in the series has ten, separate short stories following one or more of the friends as they learn about jealousy, obedience, worship, helpfulness, joyfulness, standing up for God, missionaries, caring for God's earth, and others. At the end of each story is a section with questions to answer that reinforce the lessons learned and provide take-off points for related issues and supplementary Scripture texts to look up. There is also a section of activities for individuals and groups to do including games, puzzles, role playing, craft ideas, and more that provide for practical application of the Christian concept in the story. The Fairfield Friends are perfect for family devotion times or for your grade schoolers to read on their own. They've also been used for Sunday school, vacation Bible school, in Christian schools and for youth organizations. Children will enjoy reading these stories about Ceely, Hutch, Roberto, Cameron, Min and Valerie because they are complete stories, not just a one page vingette like most other devotion books. I think you'll agree that they're different from anything else on the market. Reading one of the books will bring you and your children back for the other three. Enjoy!
