  Wherever You Go I Want You To Know

  $14.99

  Tells children that whatever they do and wherever they go, your greatest hope is that they will love and follow Jesus.

  Kids love to dream about what they might do when they grow up: jobs they might have, places they might go, people they might meet. And parents and carers love to encourage and support them. But for Christian parents and carers, their greatest hope for their children, their dream of all dreams, is that whatever their kids do and wherever they go, they will love and follow Jesus.

  As children embark on life’s journey with all their potential and aspirations, express to them your biggest dream with this beautiful illustrated rhyming children’s book.

  As well as teaching children about the only thing that really matters in life, this book also reminds parents that telling their kids about Jesus is more important than anything else.

  Makes a wonderful gift for a wide range of children-from 3 year olds to 8 year olds and even beyond-for birthdays, Christmas or graduation.

  $10.99

  Even children experience lonely moments. When they do, this book reminds them that you will always be there, and God is right there too. Max Lucado’s comforting words reinforce the thought that no matter what happens–the good and bad, the firsts and lasts–children will never be alone . . . just in case they ever wonder.

Just in Case You Ever Feel Alone soothes away loneliness by promising children that their parents or caregivers will always make time for them–they will squeeze away the sad and welcome back the glad every single day.

  *addresses a child’s feelings of loneliness and uncertainty;

  *assures children that their parents are there for them and that God is always with them;

  *includes tender rhymes and endearing artwork from Eve Tharlet of a loving parent and baby bear; and

  Moon Is Always Round

  $16.99

  Even young children want answers to the hard questions about God and suffering. In The Moon Is Always Round, seminary professor and author Jonathan Gibson uses the vivid imagery of the moon to explain to children how God’s goodness is always present, even when it might appear to be obscured by upsetting or difficult circumstances.

  In this beautiful, two-color illustrated book, he allows readers to eavesdrop on the conversations he had with his young son in response to his sister’s death. Father and son share a simple liturgy together that reminds them that, just as the moon is always round despite its different phases, so also the goodness of God is always present throughout the different phases of life.

  A section in the back of the book offers further biblical help for parents and caregivers in explaining God’s goodness to children. Jonathan Gibson reminds children of all ages that God’s goodness is present in the most difficult of times, even if we can’t always see it.

  Real Bad Guys

  $18.99

  With the help of a rogues’ gallery of cartoonish villains, young readers will learn that all people have some bad inside of them (where it counts) and that Jesus, the only Real Good Guy, can redeem them from their sin.

  Even young children can spot a bad guy when they see one. In most fairy tales, comic books, and cartoons, the lines between good and evil are drawn in broad strokes. After all, if it looks like a bad guy and talks like a bad guy. . .

  But according to God, only what’s inside of each person’s heart counts. By that measure, we’re all Real Bad Guys in need of Jesus, the only Real Good Guy to save us.

  In Real Bad Guys, children will meet Millie, an everyday kid who learns from a who’s-who of stereotypical hoodlums that everybody sins and has fallen short of God’s standard for goodness. Also, because we can’t see the condition of people’s hearts, we can’t judge them by their appearance.

  Filled with fun and humor, Real Bad Guys cleverly and effectively explains the problem of sin and its solution to children ages eight and up.
