 Faith Gets Us Through

Have No Fear, God Is Near

Piggy Bank Blessings

 My take on this book:

Three stories, each with a positive faith based message makes this a wonderful book for beginning readers. Faith Gets Us Through takes young readers imagination into the spooky cave where the bears get lost, but they know God will keep them safe! Do Not Fear, God is Near shares the story of Sister Bear and her many fears she had when she was little, but readers learn that God is always watching over them so there is nothing to fear. Piggy Bank Blessings shares the positive message about earning and saving money. Each story shares gentle reminders of what the Bible says. I found the illustrations really added to the story, and the easy to read words will have youngsters reading along and then reading on their own in no time at all. Three stories in one book makes for a great value but it's the positive spiritual messages that make this book well worth giving to that special youngster in your life.
