Children need to understand God's free will choice of salvation in Jesus Christ, or the damnation of the world and hell. Utilizing his creative advertising skills, Scott paired the truths of the scripture with simple but powerful illustrations that explain the child's choice. After teaching children and teenagers in Sunday school for 15 years, Scott knew children could grasp the concept behind the scripture if the Biblical point could be illustrated. Fifty-six illustrations in the book visualize every child's problem, God's solution, the journey with Christ and their identity and purpose as a Christian. Playing off the letter U and utilizing Galatians 6:7-8 and Colossians 1:27, Scott shared the meaning of "Christ in you, the hope of Glory." The kids in his Sunday School class understood that what is in them defines them, and if they invited Jesus into their hearts by faith, their lives would be transformed forever. Children can understand how we are vessels designed by God to be filled with God's love and spirit. Scott designed the book to be kid-friendly and parent-friendly, so the parent could become the teacher. Parents are the most influential adults in their children's lives and are therefore the best presenters of God's plan of salvation. Twelve years in the making, Good News For You Child And Parent Devotional is 45 day study of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Good News For You Child And Parent Coloring Book is a companion book to the devotional. These two books are the books Scott wishes his father and mother would have read to him when he was a boy.
