The authors have produced a tool that distills the message of God's lavish grace in a way that parents can practically share with their kids through activities and accessible language. I am grateful for their work and the benefit it will be to the church in general and my family in particular."
Sam Luce, Family Pastor Redeemer Church, Utica, NY

"PROOF Pirates is an exciting way for kids to discover the truth of God's Grace. Best of all, this is a treasure hunt they can share as a family.

Who can resist secret clues, a pirate adventure, and solid Bible teaching—together as a family."

"Parenting shortcomings teach us to drink deeply of God's grace or else drown in shame of not living up or 'getting it right.' PROOF Pirates is beautifully illustrated and memorably worded to be both fun and instructional for the whole family. As God teaches us about his grace in parenting, let us teach and parent our children with grace and pirates!"
Daniel Montgomery, Lead Pastor of Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, KY; founder of the Sojourn Network; author of Faithmapping and PROOF

Marty Machowski, Family Life Pastor; author of the Gospel Story for Kids series and The Ology: Ancient Truths, Ever New

"What an important truth for kids to hear: that their worth comes from Jesus, not their performance! And what a fun way to tell it! This is the rare family resource that puts rich teaching about God's grace in a playful, engaging book. Who would have thought good theology could be this much fun?"
Jack Klumpenhower, Author of Show Them Jesus and coauthor of What's Up? and The Gospel-Centered Parent

"Imagine a new generation of evangelicals who, from their childhood, have known the sacred writings and sound theology, and have experienced the overwhelming grace of God in their daily lives. They're not concerned about religious performance, they aren't moralists, they don't believe that their good behavior can earn God's favor, and they don't suffer from legalism. PROOF Pirates will go a long way to raising up that next generation!"
Gregg R. Allison, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; pastor, Sojourn Community Church, Louisville, KY; Secretary, the Evangelical Theological Society; author

"As a father of three, I'm always on the investigative trail for those tools that can help clarify the message of grace to my family. The PROOF Pirates Family Devotional tool is one of those very items! The clear and playful explanation of what the gospel means to all of us is perfectly laid out in a way to start these very important forever conversations."
Jonathan Cliff, Pastor of Community, Grace Community Church, Clarksville, TN

"The PROOF Pirates devotional is a delightful, grace-filled adventure that will help remind young (and old) spiritual scallywags that there is an amazing God in heaven who loves them and wants to lavish undeserved favor on them through Christ. It does a wonderful job of explaining the vast, deep doctrine of grace at a child's level and forcing works-based righteousness to walk the plank. The devotional is insightful, fun and practical, offering lots of great, pirate-themed activities to illustrate key truths. I encourage you to set sail on the high seas of God's grace with this latest treasure from the children's ministry team at Sojourn!"
Joshua Cooley, Children's Minister; author of One Year Devotions with Jesus and Heroes of the Bible Devotional

"I plan to put a copy of PROOF Pirates in the hands of every parent in our church because I'm convinced there's no more important thing that parents can help their children discover than God's amazing grace. It's my prayer that God will use this engaging devotional to remind parents of the astonishing reality of this grace and to awaken little hearts to the wonder and beauty of our gracious God."
Mike Crowe, Associate Minister of Families, Shades Mountain Independent Church, Birmingham, AL

"My family enjoyed going through this great family devotional! PROOF Pirates engages kids' imaginations while teaching them about God's multifaceted grace. This book is an excellent resource for any parent desiring to help their family memorize scripture, pray, and learn about God's character. Go on a treasure hunt and discover the PROOF of God!"
Jeff Hutchings, Pastor of Family Ministry, The Journey—Tower Grove

"It's not often that an introduction to a children's book grabs me—but this one did . . . all because of the line 'Jesus came to save sinners—not those who get everything right.' This message saturates PROOF Pirates And reading it has backed up a lifetime's lesson that the gospel is the greatest treasure there is. We need to rediscover lessons like this even as adults, and especially if we wish to teach the next generation about the love of God. I've met walking, talking examples of God's grace this week—and meeting them and reading this book thrilled me. I can so easily picture boys and girls reading PROOF Pirates and growing up with this truth—that God saves sinners. I can see families learning together the foundational truth of God's Plan for salvation. And I can say that I've experienced this myself, the wonder that is grace . . . God's amazing grace. PROOF Pirates reminded me of this wonderful God given-gift, and it is something I can't wait to read aloud to my nieces and nephews."
Catherine Mackenzie, Author and editor, Christian Focus 4 Kids

"The most profound truths are often best communicated through great stories. PROOF Pirates weaves a tale that sails into uncharted water for children's books—a story that illustrates the goodness of God's grace over behavior management and performance-based praise. Timothy Paul Jones has long been an expert in family-equipping ministry, but what I love about him has always been his ability to combine deep theological insights with practical and fun ways to learn; this combination is clearer than ever in the family worship guides that accompany this story. A parent reading this well-illustrated book to their child will discover a treasure chest full of gospel truths for the scallywag in all of us, not just our kids."
Jay Strother, Campus and Teaching Pastor, The Church at Station Hill

"I read PROOF Pirates with my kids after dinner. I was going to read a little each day, but they made me finish it in one sitting. They were eager to find the treasure, and they weren't disappointed with what they discovered. For kids and parents alike, PROOF is a clear and compelling journey into the depths of God's grace!"
Will Walker, Pastor of Providence Church, Austin, TX; coauthor of The Gospel-Centered Life

"Stories are great conveyers of truth which is why Jesus so often told stories to his followers. His stories were often simple, repeatable and powerful. Children of all ages won't be able to put this book down because the truths revealed are timeless!"
Steve Wright, Pastor of Discipleship and Church Planting, Family Church, West Palm Beach, FL

"I'm a big fan of making God's truth fun and memorable for families. Why not do so in a beautifully illustrated and easy to read resource? My seven-year-old son was on the edge of his seat on every page . . . listening to an adventure about God's incredible grace for you and me. His take: 'Really cool!' My take: 'Praise God!' Excellent resource for churches and families!"
