When You Want Something Too Much
Good News for Little Hearts
Edited by David Powlison, Illustrated by Joe Hox
Gus, a raccoon who loves all things sweet, learns what happens when you want something too much. After Gus gets caught taking candy from the store, Papa reminds him that temptation might be strong for us, but it's not too strong for Jesus. Both Gus and Papa can ask Jesus for help when they want something too much.
The last page contains information for parents on how God, in his Word, helps us turn to Jesus when we are tempted. Together children and parents will be guided into meaningful conversations about living by faith in the details of everyday life.
Also included is a tear-out page of "Back Pocket Bible Verses" that will give children a practical way to remember God's words when they want something too much.
A new series of hardback, illustrated children's books for three-to eight-year-olds-each centered on an animal family-bring gospel help and biblical counsel to families. The animal characters, colorful illustrations, and the real-life issues each animal family face will captivate children. The first three books address anxiety, anger, and failure, bringing biblical help and hope to issues every child faces.
- A special section at the end of the book guides parents in having meaningful conversations with their kids about empathy and considering others, based on biblical truth.
- Children ages four to seven will be captivated by Joe Hox's colorful, fun illustrations that bring the animal world to life.
- Teaches children and parents how to apply God's Word to the everyday problem of not considering others.
