Bible
You
will need to review these resources for yourself to determine
if they are suitable for your family. You may have
to "pick out the meat and spit out the bones!" I
have not examined them in depth; however, I have attempted
to include only those that focus on: [1] For
there is one God and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus, (1 Tim. 2:5) and [2] For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but
have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into
the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him.
(John 3:16-17)
