Book2MyKids "Content of the Week"

This week's content comes from the chapter on "Ambition"

"Do hard things. Life if full of challenges - embrace them and don’t run away from them. From the time you start school you will be challenged with various topics and classes. Some will be easy for you and some hard. The hard ones will stretch your mind and make you smarter. Don’t be afraid to fail. You still learn when you fail and sometimes your failures help you learn even more than your successes.

Doing sports and exercise can also be hard, but have great long term affects on your body, mind and spirit. Take a runner for example. They train every day by running more and more miles, putting their body through a hard workout. The runs can sometimes be difficult and painful, but at the end of each run they get a “runners high”, both physically and mentally. They have done something hard and the long term affect is to make them stronger and more able to deal with normal activities, both physical and mental.

The opposite of doing hard things is taking the easy way out - like doing drugs. Doing drugs makes life easier for the moment, but in the long run your body gets used to comfort that the drugs provide and you end up feeling worse when the drugs wear off. The long term affects are your inability to handle every day life.

Challenge yourself. The more you do, the better you will feel in the long run."

Book2MyKids "Content of the Week"

This week's content comes from the chapter on "Money"

"Give generously to those in need. No matter how much money you have, always find it in your heart to give to those in need. Don't wait until you feel you have plenty of money before you give to others - you may never feel you have enough money. When you see someone in the street that is begging for money, don't judge them. Imagine if that were you or one of your friends or family members. I guarantee you that you have more than they do and also have a better life than they do. So give something to them without judging them."

Mike Huckabee's book to his grandkids


DEAR CHANDLER, DEAR SCARLETT: A Grandfather’s Thoughts on Faith, Family, and the Things That Matter Most

“I wrote these letters so that long after I’m gone, you’ll know that I loved you, had great hopes for you, and wanted to give you my best advice on living in this tough world. If I can’t be there with you, I hope my letters will act as a sort of reminder of me—as if I’m standing there beside you, whispering in your ear, and putting my arm around your shoulder.”
Mike Huckabee has worn many hats through­out his life: pastor, politician, governor, presidential candidate, talk show host, rock bassist, pundit, husband, and father. But since his first grandchild was born, he’s found that the role of grandfather is more satisfying than just about any of the others.
Huckabee wanted to give something to his grand­son, Chandler, that would last forever. He began drafting a series of letters to Chandler recounting heartwarming stories from his past and the bittersweet lessons learned along the way. With the birth of his granddaughter, Scarlett, just a year later, Huckabee was further inspired to convey his love and wisdom.

Book2MyKids "Content of the Week"

This week's content comes from the Chapter on "Family" 

"Family is the most important thing after God. Friends, jobs and possessions will come and go, but your family is always there for you. Sometimes we take each other for granted, get angry at each other and yell at each other. But love should always cut through any arguments and bind us forever.


Love is at the center of our family. Each one of us should always remember how much we love each other, and how much each family member loves us. "

Doing things together as a family is important. Taking vacations together, having meals together - just spending time together as a family."
