"Thou hatest wickedness."-Psalm 45:7
    
    "Be ye angry, and sin not." There can hardly be goodness in a man if he be not angry at sin; he who loves truth must hate every false way. How our Lord Jesus hated it when the temptation came! Thrice it assailed Him in different forms, but ever He met it with, "Get thee behind me, Satan." He hated it in others; none the less fervently because He showed His hate oftener in tears of pity than in words of rebuke; yet what language could be more stern, more Elijah-like, than the words, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer." He hated wickedness, so much that He bled to wound it to the heart; He died that it might die; He was buried that He might bury it in His tomb; and He rose that He might for ever trample it beneath His feet. Christ is in the Gospel, and that Gospel is opposed to wickedness in every shape. Wickedness arrays itself in fair garments, and imitates the language of holiness; but the precepts of Jesus, like His famous scourge of small cords, chase it out of the temple, and will not tolerate it in the Church. So, too, in the heart where Jesus reigns, what war there is between Christ and Belial! And when our Redeemer shall come to be our Judge, those thundering words, "Depart, ye cursed" which are, indeed, but a prolongation of His life-teaching concerning sin, shall manifest His abhorrence of iniquity. As warm as is His love to sinners, so hot is His hatred of sin; as perfect as is His righteousness, so complete shall be the destruction of every form of wickedness. O thou glorious champion of right, and destroyer of wrong, for this cause hath God, even Thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.

Cooper and Me and the Military by Moniqe & Alexa Peters

Be sure to read to the end as I'm giving away a copy of this book.



Looking for a good book to read to your child about military then this would be one of them.  This would be a wonderful book to add to the collection for military awareness books.  It is written in rhyme as to keep even the youngest ones interested.  I liked the sample letter given that your child can copy and send off to someone serving our country.  Nice way to teach children to honor those that serve.  There are a few additional pages of activities to do with your child at the end of this book.  Cooper and me books teach many life lessons and feature interactive materials.  They are nice teaching resource tools to have. 

Overview: 

Meet Trooper, Cooper’s best friend, and learn how he was adopted by Gracie and Joe and their parents, who both serve in the military. Find out how this family stays close despite being separated.
Be sure to visit Cooper and Me web site here to find all kinds of fun activities and additional resources.
