From the Authors:
Foundations of Rope Bondage 
is the ultimate guide to rope bondage that is perfect for curious beginners who are searching for a friendly and fun introduction to this creative and beautiful art form.

Don't know where to start? That's okay! This book introduces readers to rope bondage by explaining the basics of rope itself and details fun ties in clear and easy to understand language. With Lazarus's jargon-free and judgement-free descriptions, as well as step-by-step photographs, he has created a fun and informative introduction to this enticing form of play. One of Lazarus's main concerns is making sure all participants are able to give informed consent and understand everything they need to know before they begin to explore rope bondage; which is why he spends two full chapters detailing the safety and medical considerations. Anyone and everyone who is interested can join in on this intimate and wildly fun adventure! Starting with four fundamental knots, Lazarus builds from core concepts to teach readers how to create a staggering number of rope scenes. With detailed step-by-step instructions and photographs, this book breaks down 16 essential rope bondage techniques into simple concepts that everyone can learn. The essence of all rope bondage is in the fundamentals, and this is what Foundations of Rope Bondage delivers. Once you have mastered the techniques in this book, you will have the foundations on which to build your library of knots and ties. Lazarus uses easy-to-learn beginner knots like the Lark's Head and the Half Hitch to create key ties like the Lark's Head Single Column and Chest & Hip Harnesses. With the basic knots and ties down pat, readers will have everything they need to move on to more advanced knots and ties.

While rope bondage can be an erotic art, this book's purpose is education, not titillation. All of the models are covered in a white suit to make each knot and the steps to creating them easy to see. Combined with Lazarus's classic blue gloves, it makes following each step straightforward. Lazarus's distinct teaching style and phenomenal step-by-step photographs make learning these amazing ties fun and easy.

Foundations of Rope Bondage will set you up for a future of rope-filled adventures.

"Do this like like this person did
Format: Paperback
I bought this last year at Bethlehem Seminary bookstore in Minneapolis on a bibliophile impulse. It was so remarkable, that I bought multiple copies here on Amazon to give to leaders and fellow-teachers of our children's outreach program at church. For instead of the typical way of teaching bible stories to children, it proposes a different way, one wrapped around the gospel of grace. Most of the time, children are taught the stories of David and Goliath, or Gideon, or whatever, to urge them on to moral behavior. "Do this like like this person did, don't do that like that other person did, and God will bless you". And so kids grow up in the church thinking that this is what the gospel is: do good and you'll gain God's favor. This book instead shows how God has always provided a solution for the wretched consequences of the fall. The writer doesn't recommend we automatically shy away from teaching the difficult stories of the bible, which is so common in children's ministries (like the captivity in Babylon, and the wretched stories in Judges, for instance). Instead, it shows teachers how to teach (AND see for themselves) the mercy of God in each of those bible accounts. It is not a curriculum, though it is very bible literate: for instance, Mr. Klumpenhower points out the not-always-so-obvious parts of a story that point to a coming redeemer. It has practical insights for showing the beauty of God's love and mercy in EVERY bible story, and for those who need further direction and insight, Mr. Klumpenower's website gives curricular-type lesson plans you can use when teaching those stories. In our church now, we continue to use a national bible-memory program that many churches use. But we use this as the outline for our group teaching times. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to teach the gospel from the scriptures, instead of just from a formula.

Life-Changing; full of truth of how the grace in the Gospel (not mere morality preaching) transforms us
Format: Paperback
This is a life-changing book that put into words so many things that have nagged at the back of my mind about the way we teach the Bible to children. It seems far too many picture Bibles, Sunday school curricula, and parenting books boil the Bible down to "This Bible character did this. You should do/not do this." You could completely remove God and Christ from some of these books/methods and the application would not change: be good. Likewise, as a parent it's too easy to simply use Bible stories as a way to try to manipulate our kids' behavior. To begin with, trying to "be good" without understanding our new life in Christ and the Holy Spirit's enablement is completely futile. This focus on morality apart from the Gospel also helps explain why many church kids grow up and leave the church. If all church gave them was a list of how to behave, but they never truly fell in love with Jesus and understand all he did for them, why stay in church? Klumpenhower maintains that "The cross of Jesus—not principles of good living—is the engine of the Christian life." The gist of this book is that more than anything, kids need to be shown God's character, Jesus' work, and the Holy Spirit's enabling. This, more than any moral lesson, will be what transforms them. "We make a mistake if we think kids are saved by hearing the good news and trusting Jesus, but then grow as Christians some other way." While the Bible does give useful examples, if kids "get Samuel the good listener without first appreciating God the Great Speaker, they're liable to end up relating to God only in an anxious, what-I-must-do way." Klumpenhower gives practical advice for how to teach the Word in a way that points to Jesus and not our own efforts. For example, when teaching Old Testament stories he recommends asking: "1) What is God doing for his people in this story? 2) Good News! How does God do the same for us—only better—in Jesus? 3) Believe it! How does believing this good news change how we live?" Here is an example from teaching about Moses: "What is God doing for his people in this story? He arranges events to protect baby Moses and give the Israelites a leader who will rescue them from Egypt. Good News! How does God do the same for us—only better—in Jesus? He has provided a Leader and Savior who rescues us from sin and death. Believe it! How does believing this good news change how we live? Even when it's hard to see, we can trust that God is working out his plan to complete our salvation." Another great example is how he recommends addressing sin: the surface sin we can see (example: dancing to lewd music), the selfish fear underneath (ex: afraid friends won't like or accept me), and the root unbelief (ex: not believing Jesus gives me God's approval). I'm just scratching the surface of this book. Chapter after chapter is filled with wonderful truth about how the grace given in the Gospel impacts every area of our lives and about how our identity in Christ is what transforms us. I recommend it to anyone who wants to use the Bible as their foundation for living, teaching, and parenting. It's that good. Go read it! If you're intrigued but not sure you can read the whole thing, download the free Kindle sample and at least read the introduction and first chapter; it will give you a good overview. And then you'll probably want to read the rest!

An Absolute Gem that shines with Jesus
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book is so good! It is full of biblical truth that is missing in much of Christianity. The author reminds us that Jesus is the whole point of the Bible. Go. After. Christ. Everything else will follow. Moralism does not save us. The love of Jesus does. Just beautiful. I wish the author had been my Sunday school teacher. All my life I've known the truth of Jesus. It's right there in the Bible, woven into every story. And yet I've still always felt like love was to be earned and moralism was at the front of my faith. This book makes me see how the cross is what I need. Jesus loves me. He is for me. Morals don't earn me points with God. The blood of Jesus paid all. And my desire to obey and be like him flows out of my love for him... and his abundant love for me. ❤️

Best Children's Ministry Training Tool Available
Format: Paperback
"Show Them Jesus" is the best resource on children's ministry I have seen in 15+ years as a children's ministry director and I have recommended that all of my volunteers get their hands on this book as soon as they possibly can. Too often in children's ministry we've watered down the gospel or worse yet assumed the gospel and today many adults grew up in church and still have no idea how to answer the question of why Jesus died on the cross. This book reminds us that the cross is the central point of the Bible and therefore should be central in our teaching. I love the way the author takes us on his journey of learning to teach gospel centered lessons and shows us what he learned along the way. I love the fact that he encourages teachers to study and prepare the text their teaching on and not simply rely on the curriculum pieces (no matter how good and gospel centered they may be). I also really appreciate the practicality of the book as he gives suggestions at the end of each chapter on how to apply what you're reading right away in a classroom or at home. If you teach in children's ministry or have kids you care about you should read this book!

Gospel Centered Gold
Format: Kindle
This book essentially takes the Christ centered theology taught by guys like Walter Marshall (Gospel Mystery of Sanctification), Horatius Bonar (The Everlasting Righteousness & God's Way of Holiness) and John Colquhoun (A Treatise on the Law and the Gospel), and it packages it in a way that is easy for anybody to understand and apply in the classroom. I have not come across another book that does this particularly for teaching children. I highly recommend this book for those who are involved in children's ministry (even adult ministry for that matter). It will particularly help those in your youth ministries understand the law/gospel distinction and gospel motivation. Once the teacher understand this, it will begin to permeate his/her lessons.
