"O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face . . . because we have sinned against Thee."-Daniel 9:8
    
    A deep sense and clear sight of sin, its heinousness, and the punishment which it deserves, should make us lie low before the throne. We have sinned as Christians. Alas! that it should be so. Favoured as we have been, we have yet been ungrateful: privileged beyond most, we have not brought forth fruit in proportion. Who is there, although he may long have been engaged in the Christian warfare, that will not blush when he looks back upon the past? As for our days before we were regenerated, may they be forgiven and forgotten; but since then, though we have not sinned as before, yet we have sinned against light and against love-light which has really penetrated our minds, and love in which we have rejoiced. Oh, the atrocity of the sin of a pardoned soul! An unpardoned sinner sins cheaply compared with the sin of one of God's own elect ones, who has had communion with Christ and leaned his head upon Jesus' bosom. Look at David! Many will talk of his sin, but I pray you look at his repentance, and hear his broken bones, as each one of them moans out its dolorous confession! Mark his tears, as they fall upon the ground, and the deep sighs with which he accompanies the softened music of his harp! We have erred: let us, therefore, seek the spirit of penitence. Look, again, at Peter! We speak much of Peter's denying his Master. Remember, it is written, "He wept bitterly." Have we no denials of our Lord to be lamented with tears? Alas! these sins of ours, before and after conversion, would consign us to the place of inextinguishable fire if it were not for the sovereign mercy which has made us to differ, snatching us like brands from the burning. My soul, bow down under a sense of thy natural sinfulness, and worship thy God. Admire the grace which saves thee-the mercy which spares thee-the love which pardons thee!

These three books, along with the first of 3 Cool Kind Kid Flash and Game Cards, the award-winning Cool Kind Kid CD, wrist bands, and other products are also available in the first of 5 Cool Kind Kid Bullying Prevention Parent/Child Resource Kit [ages 4-9].
Social Skills that Break the Cycle of Bullying by Redefining “Cool”™

As a teacher,  I was excited to hear about this Cool Kid series.  Once I got the review copies I totally loved the series.  It really is an excellent tool.  A resource every teacher should have available to them.  This series has wonderful ideas to use in a classroom meeting.  The picture book is in graphic form and I found that kids are very apt to grab that type of book over one with lots of words on the page.  The CD was not included in my review set; however, I did go online and listen to the sample clips that are on the web site.


Redefining "Cool"™

Kids learn that they can be both cool and kind, without bullying. “Cool” is treating others with kindness and respect.

“Kind is Cool” and “Cool is Kind”™

The kind person is the cool person.
You can’t be truly cool if you are unkind.
Learn social skills to prevent bullying.

It’s “Cool” to live The Golden Rule™

“Treat others the way you want to be treated.”
Too many follow a different rule, "Treat others the way they
treat you." Kids who bully often follow this rule.

The “Kind” kid is the “Cool” kid, not the bully™

Bullying is the ultimate “uncool.” Social skills are the missing link
in bullying prevention.

A copy of this book was provided by Bostick Communications and the author in exchange for my honest review.
