To build character you need a principle, the fundamental truth that serves as the foundation for a belief system. A belief system is an ideology or set of principles that help us to interpret our everyday reality. It is your philosophy for your life."

About Chris and Nina
Chris studied engineering in Boston, Massachusetts where he is from. He was in the Air
Force and after leaving the Air Force, Chris worked for several technology
companies on the East coast. Nina studied public health in Montreal,
Canada. She worked in the Canadian Health Management System for the
majority of her career.
They got married in 2013. Not having children and both coming from big
families, they came up with the idea of raising children through teaching.
So they decided to write a book entitled " Bad Kids Good Kids " which
teaches a kingdom belief system.
Belief System
“Everything begins with your belief system.”, says Nina.
“Our 37 stories are character builders that help develop traits such as
honor, respect, and courage. To build character you need a principle, the
fundamental truth that serves as the foundation for a belief system. A belief
system is an ideology or set of principles that help us to interpret our
everyday reality. It is your philosophy for your life.
Your philosophy develops your mentality. Everything you see and hear is
passed through your belief system and then becomes your mentality.
Your mentality produces something that we all see, and it's called attitude.
Your attitude is the manifestation of your belief or your belief system.
The stories found in "Bad Kids Good Kids" brings attention to what exactly
your belief system is and opens a dialog about your ideology."
Bad Kids, Good Kids

designed to be a simple story with a lesson to be taught.

Leaving a Legacy
Since Chris and Nina couldn't have kids, they wanted to leave a legacy and help parents and their family.
It takes a village to raise a child. When every family engages with their children, they can raise their children teaching their beliefs.
