One of the most important things in any relationship is trust. Once that trust is broken, it is hard to get back. And one of the most important things in training your children to love and know God is to teach them what God says about Himself.
I was so excited to get this new book from Tommy Nelson because I’m going through the Bible this year pulling out what truths God shows me about Himself. I want to know everything about who God is so I can be like Him (1 Peter tells us that).
I also want my boys to know God as well. And so, as they get older (this book is perfect for grade school kids), I will get to use this in teaching them during family worship time who God says He is and how they can trust Him.
Diane Stortz goes through 40 reasons why kids can trust God. Illustrated so kids will be pulled the pages, and written so they might know the Word and the truth that God wants to teach them.
She includes some of the Hebrew names so kids can learn (includes pronunciation), Scripture readings, questions to ask, and application.
I hope you like this little book as much as I do. You can win one for yourself (your child of course) by answering this question: what is the attribute of God you love the best. Mine right now: that he welcomes me into his presence through Christ! He is the ultimate host!

I’m a little late to the game, but my favorite attribute RIGHT NOW is His goodness. There have been many times in my life where I’ve questioned God’s goodness and I am finally coming to a place where I am really believing He is good all the time. Thanks for the post.

And that is such a hard thing to believe! Thank you for the reminder of the constancy and goodness of God!
