A Justice Primer

Christians should know that social justice internet mobs are a far cry from truly Biblical justice that accords with God’s law. But we don’t. Biblical justice requires multiple witnesses, matching stories, and objective facts considered by an appropriate authority.

A Justice Primer is written by two longtime pastors who have worked inside denominations, sessions, and institutions, and who have seen more than their share of controversy where people do not know what the rules are. A whispered conversation is not authoritative. An anonymous comment on a blog is not authoritative. A party of disgruntled church members who “feel abused” is not authoritative. Instead, the key to true justice is due process conducted by wise men who know how to weigh evidence.

God is justice, and it is because of His justice that Jesus went to the cross. Therefore, we must care about what justice is and how God says to pursue it.

A Primer on Worship and Reformation

You Say You Want a Reformation?

Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

It is no secret that our world desperately needs change. Politicians know this and use it to collect votes. Journalists exploit it to sell newspapers and magazines. Advertisers, to sell everything else. Each of these groups (and countless others) spend their lives working to convince others that they hold the key to a better country, a better life, a better future.

But what exactly is this change we all long for? And how can it ever come about? A Primer on Worship and Reformation proposes that true change begins, not with a process or an idea, but through faithful worship. To witness true global change—true reformation—we must first pray the Lord that we would see worship at the center of life. The truth is that when the Word is faithfully preached, even the gates of hell tremble. When the Psalms are sung, the meek inherit the earth. When the church celebrates at the Lord's Table, those who mourn are comforted.

If we learn these lessons and believe them to be true, we will find that through renewed worship God brings change to every facet of our lives.

 

The Amazing Doctor Ransom's Bestiary of Adorable Fallacies

The Field Guide for Clear Thinkers

Stymied and stumped by arguments that wrap around you like webs of mystification?

Dr. Ransom's Bestiary is perfect for supplementing any logic curriculum, from junior high to college, or for adults who want to learn more about logic! This book is filled with illustrations, descriptions, exercises, and analysis to help you identify and avoid fallacies you might encounter in everyday life.

Fifty informal fallacies belong to families—fallacies of distraction, ambiguity, form, and "millennial fallacies"—and each one has names, nicknames, and a sketch of its adorable, harmless mode and its true feral face. Get the practice you need to identify the little stinkers wherever they might appear using flashcards for all 50 fallacies.

Each fallacy is followed by discussion questions and exercises; a line-listed answer key and both one and two-semester schedules are included in the back of the book.

 

A Serrated Edge

Christians think that making fun of people is never okay. If so, then why did Jesus and the prophets do so much of it?

Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

Satire is a kind of preaching. Satire pervades Scripture. Satire treats the foibles of sinners with a less than perfect tenderness. But if a Christian employs satire today, he is almost immediately called to account for his "insensitive" and "unloving" behavior. But is the Golden Rule really "be nice"? Actually, Scripture shows that the central point of some religious controversies is to give offense. When Christ was confronted with ecclesiastical obstinacy and other forms of arrogance, He showed us a godly pattern for giving offense.

In every controversy godliness and wisdom (or the lack of them) are to be determined by careful appeal to the Scriptures and not the fact of people having taken offense. In this book, veteran satirist Douglas Wilson explains his rationale for why so much of what he says gets people upset and yet he continues to speak as he does, and why you should (sometimes) too for the sake of the Gospel.

Gashmu Saith It: How to Built Christian Communities That Save the World

"When Nehemiah was leading the Jews in their project of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, the enemies of Israel mocked them and said, “It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words” (Neh. 6:6).

Today we see a culture that is increasingly hostile to Christians, and Christians are increasingly aware that they need to form strong communities to do for them what the culture no longer can. This is a good  thing, but it will only work if like Nehemiah and his men we are committed to resisting the dictates of our culture. If we are at all afraid of looking like the crazy fundamentalists that our culture loves to hate, then our communities will be as easily led by the culture as anybody else.

In this short book, Pastor Douglas Wilson describes some of the most important ways to create and maintain counter-cultural Christian communities. Whether he is talking about the need for kids to get calluses or for love and loyalty within churches, Douglas Wilson brings decades of on-the-ground wisdom and experience to the topic.

A city without walls is not really a city; neither is a city without a church at the center. Get busy. Build the walls, fight sin, love your family and church, and live out the Gospel."

It was exactly as advertised. It was a gift for someone and tgey loved it!

Huge fan!

This was such a pleasant surprise, it’s the perfect book set to go along with our current reading curriculum. My son loves the books and it’s so hard to find an engaging story for beginner readers! The illustration is adorable and attention grabbing and the sticker chart is such a key component to motivating my young reader!

a truly life changing book

Awesome!
Loving it!
Thank you!
Your company is great!

Chickadee Readers: My First Stories

Great stories to add to your collection

The quality of the physical books and illustrations is top notch. I love the beginning sequence of short vowels. The scope and sequence isn't quite aligned with suggested phonics instruction order. However, these stories are a great option for students who are ready to apply a wider arrange of phonics skills.

Excellent!

My 4-year-old is already memorizing the letter sounds and loves to ask to practice them. We are excited to start reading the cute books! My only constructive feedback would be about the choices of some of the images- she was initially thrown off by fox for the letter X, and said "buh" for "R" because she thought the rabbit was "bunny." Otherwise, perfection!

The sounds that makes reading click

Amazing product. Did a reel to show how well they are teaching my 2 year old her sounds. I’m very impressed!

Such a great product

These readers are such a great addition to my classroom library. I like how they focus on different skills. Love them.

A complete set for helping young readers!

My full review and my son's unboxing will be on instagram sometime next week, but I am so pleasantly surprised by the contents of the box. So many books and a comprehensive way to learn while being entertained. Very much looking forward to utilizing this tool!

Very Impressed

I’m really impressed with these baby books. They’re engaging, colorful, and perfect for keeping my baby’s attention. A wonderful addition to our collection

Perfect First Stories for Little Ones

We’ve really enjoyed reading Chickadee Readers: My First Stories with our children. The stories are short, engaging, and written in a way that keeps their attention without being overwhelming. The illustrations are colorful and cheerful, which makes reading time fun for both kids and parents. I also appreciate that the stories introduce simple vocabulary and themes that are easy for young readers to follow. It’s been a great way to start building a love of reading at home. Highly recommend for families looking for quality early reader books!

Such a great set for budding readers!!

I have been using this with my son for a couple weeks now and it’s been a game changer. The poster and stickers to track their journey makes it super interactive and fun for kids which is huge in keeping them interested! This is a great set and would highly recommend to any one struggling or needing some extra help with teaching your kids how to read and keeping them engaged!

Amazing and Educational

These books are amazing! They are both educational and really enjoyable, keeping you curious with every page. The quality is excellent and the content is clearly well-prepared. I really loved them.

Perfect set of early readers!

Illustrations, fun stories! We really love these.

Amazing program

My daughter just started and is really engaged with this because of the quality of the pictures. She has tried other similar programs but they are older and pictures did not interest her which made her not want to try to read the book. So far she is excited and I am too.

Very Happy

We are a home school family with 4 children, and I have been teaching my children for over 12 years now. We recently switched to a classical style of teaching and have incorporated Kraken Latin 1 into the mix. I have grades 12, 10, and 7 learning Kraken Latin 1 together with surprising success (since we have no previous Latin experience). The DVD that accompanies the books is very helpful, a MUST-have. Two thumbs up!

Absolutely love this

We’ve tried other early readers, but Chickadee Readers makes it step-by-step and stress-free. The confidence it’s given my child is priceless. My child’s vocabulary has grown, and I can see her joy in reading growing too.

LOVE THEM

I got these in mail and was SOO excited to start these with my daughters right away. the quality and info in these books are amazing and will for sure help me teach them!

LOVE THESE!

My daughter loves the flash cards especially!

Great content and stories

There was a surprising amount of increasing challenge between each level. I have two new Kindergarteners and one starting 2nd grade and all three children have benefitted greatly from this book series, and each is challenged by a different level. The kids enjoy the colors of the books/illustrations. The stories are just long enough to create a motivating challenge and sense of accomplishment upon completion without being daunting/exhausting. The stories are gripping to the point that my kids often end each book with a smile on their faces at each story's conclusion. This was money well invested on my kids' futures in my opinion!

Why Chickadee Readers Stole My Heart

Chickadee Readers has truly created something special with this box set. I love that the books are organized by different levels, making it easy for children to build confidence as they grow. The design of the box is thoughtful and convenient & everything fits perfectly, and it feels like a complete package. The addition of the flashcards is such a helpful tool, and the game board makes reading feel fun and interactive by letting children check off their progress as they go.

For me, this set is a perfect addition to my daycare and also for my grandchildren at home. The books are engaging, the structure is intentional, and the extras make it stand out from any other reading set I’ve used. I absolutely love Chickadee Readers and highly recommend them for both parents and educators.

Very good for kids

My 7-year-old son reads one of these every night before bed and absolutely loves them. Such a well-written seriesI definitely recommend it!

So cute and engaging!

My kindergartener absolutely loves reading the book of the day and getting the sticker for completing the book. It’s enraging, encouraging, and gamified. He felt empowered to read independently. We absolutely LOVE this!
