If Your Kids Like Star Wars, They'll LOVE Karl's Novel!
 Order of the Ancient is a novel that I wrote first and foremost for the children of my own ministry. I wrote it at the height of Harry Potter’s popularity to offer an alternative Adventure (that A should be capitalized) that focused on the spiritual disciples instead of magic. However, my love of Star Wars is evident throughout the book, from the cloak worn by the main characters mentor to the way the reliance on the Counselor (the Holy Spirit) mirrors the Force.
Give this book to your 4th-6th graders and you can tap into their love of Star Wars while creating a curiosity for the spiritual disciplines and give them a fresh understanding of the Gospel. I’ve yet to meet a child who didn’t love this book! (And don’t miss the companion discussion guide for reading groups or home school use!)
Instead of “Use the Force,” your kids will be saying, “Seek the Sovereign, and Prepare for Adventure!”
Pick up one book or a whole case!
Because Jesus Loves Children,
Pastor Karl Bastian
The Kidologist
P.S. If you would like the book autographed by the author, simply put the name of the child in the comments when you purchase and I’ll be happy to personalize the book for free!
Making the Most of CPC (or any Kidmin Conference)
 Karl Bastian, the Kidologist, gives us some pointers on attending and benefiting from any Kidmin Conference you might attend this year.
"This week I'll be attending my 47th consecutive Children's Pastors Conference. Though I've been to more kidmin conferences than can be counted. Sometimes I am privileged to get to do some Equipping and Encouraging as a workshop presenter or speaker - but usually I am just glad to be there to learn, connect, discover new resources and network.
Let me share some tips I've learned over the years about how to MAKE THE MOST of whatever kidmin conference you are attending - you invest a lot of time and energy and resources to attend a conference, you might as well be sure you get everything you can out of it!"

Is Your Kidmin in Survival or Creative Mode?
 Have you ever played Minecraft? Karl uses this game to engage kids in his church, and also to teach some lessons about children's ministry.
"I love Minecraft. For those who don’t know what it is, it is basically virtual Lego. I run an online community for my son and other kids to play in. It’s fun!
When you play, you get to choose between two basic game modes: Survival and Creative. In Creative, you get access to all the pieces and can build whatever you can imagine! In Survival, you start out with nothing, and must find or build what you want/need. In Minecraft, the process and making things from other objects is called “Crafting”—you combine certain items to craft new items. For example, sticks and coal can be used to craft a torch."
