It\u2019s a lot easier said than done because those little eyes are always watching you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bure continued, \u201cMommy and daddy are the biggest examples in life, so they\u2019re always watching to see what you\u2019re going to do. If you as a parent can walk with consistency and back up your words with your actions, that speaks volumes, and your children will know that it doesn\u2019t go unnoticed by them, ever. That consistency through life will play out; I truly believe that.\u201d One way Bure instilled biblical principles in her children was with daily Scripture and incorporating its teachings, like the fruits of the Spirit, into everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cI trained my kids up with biblical values, and the Bible is where we started and what we continue to read today. Even when my kids were young, I had the fruit of the Spirit lettered on their walls to remind them of all of the fruit of the Spirit: joy, love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control. We talk about those things. The Bible tells us to \u2018train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they won\u2019t depart from it.\u2019 I believe in intentional parenting. We taught out of the Bible, and I\u2019m grateful to see that I have adult children today who are all following that road and that path, loving the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C0UCk90P_9z\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C0UCk90P_9z\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Candace Cameron Bure (@candacecbure)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s this passion for instilling biblical principles in the next generation that compelled Bure, a <em>New York Times<\/em> bestselling author, to launch\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/generousfamily.com\/generous-kids-book-club\/\">The Generous Kids Book Club,\u00a0<\/a>a monthly subscription of children\u2019s books and animated e-books that teach kids values, essential lessons, gratitude, kindness, and generosity through stories featuring lovable animal characters.<\/p>\n<p>The books, geared toward children ages 4 to 8, are all written by mothers, teachers, school counselors, and grandmothers under the pen name of \u201cBetta Tugive.\u201d The books are delivered each month with family activities, discussion questions, stickers, and more. Bure underscored the value of trust in her book club initiative, emphasizing that it offers more than just reading material \u2014 it\u2019s about teaching values that matter, regardless of one\u2019s faith background.<\/p>\n<p>Bure told The Christian Post, \u201cI hope my audience knows that they can trust what I get behind. I\u2019ve been a faithful follower of Jesus Christ since I was 12, and I don\u2019t just put my name behind anything or put my name on anything. [This book club] is something that I truly love and believe in and the good work that it does. These are values that matter. That\u2019s what we\u2019re teaching. And whether you\u2019re a person of faith or not, I think you\u2019re going to really appreciate these books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cThere isn\u2019t Scripture in the books, but they\u2019re teaching all biblical principles, and that\u2019s what we love. Maybe you come from a different faith background, or maybe you just don\u2019t teach any kind of faith at home, but you want your kids to know good values. That\u2019s what these books are all about.
