Earnest Christian parents often feel overwhelmed by the pressures of the culture and underequipped for the glorious burden of raising kids to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. CBI Press wants to help! We plan to translate and publish <em>Parenting<\/em> by Paul Tripp along with three gospel-focused children\u2019s books. This suite of counseling-discipleship focused resources strengthens our current offerings by offering support and encouragement for parents and quality books to help point their kids to Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The total cost for this project is $92,010, and by God\u2019s grace we have a 1:1 matching grant!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading about how CBI plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/deeper-further-campaign\/2026-cbs-project\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"12070\">enhance the seminary library<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local pastor was a little surprised when he received permission to read Halle Takes a Stand (the first children\u2019s book published by CBI Press) for his daughter\u2019s public elementary school reading time.
