    A gift idea for Christmas

    Shopping for a child, a grandchild or a teen this year? I wrote one book for each age from 7 to 17. Pick the one for their age and order it on Amazon.

    Pick the right book

    I wrote one book for each stage, from early readers to high schoolers. Each one works through verses from Proverbs at a level that age can handle, and every lesson has a short video of me talking it through.

    For churches and classes

    Each lesson is short and has its own video, so the books work for Sunday school, youth group or a family table. They're written for any church, and I'd be glad to hear from yours. Write to me about using them with your group.

    Lessons by verse

    Every lesson has its verse as its address. Pick a book, or type a verse in the finder at the top. Verses are from the King James Version.

    Some lessons have Jerry's video now, and more are on the way.

    2. Scan it with a phone camera, or type the short address.
    3. Jerry's video for that verse opens.

    Hi, I'm Jerry

    I spent thirty years as an engineer. Now that I'm retired, I spend my time on something I care about even more: helping young people grow in wisdom.

    Proverbs is full of short, practical advice for everyday life. I wrote these books so parents, grandparents and teachers can sit down with a young person and work through it one verse at a time. Family and church have always been at the center of my life, and I hope these books help yours.

    Draft for Jerry to approve or rewrite.
