Description
God Hears Your Heart continues the story of Mia and Josh, begun in Tell God How You Feel. Mia and Josh are typical kids, dealing with hard and difficult emotions all kids feel: anger, disappointment, guilt, and failure. In God Hears Your Heart, they learn that God wants them to tell Him about all their feelings. They learn that He wants them to pray to Him and tell Him about how angry they feel when someone says something mean or how disappointed they feel when their plans get flipped upside down or how they feel when they fail at something. Mia and Josh learn just how much God loves and cares for them.
This book is ideal for parents and grandparents who wish to disciple children in their emotions. These read aloud stories include thoughtful questions and discussion starters to help parents teach their children to bring all their feelings to God in prayer. God Hears helps children develop a lifelong habit of bringing their emotions to the Lord, seeking Him as their refuge in all their troubles and cares.
Endorsements
... a wonderful resource for children. It accomplishes the difficult task of turning children toward the Lord with their hard and unruly emotions without moralizing or excusing. Especially good on the disappointments every young human struggles to deal with and full of good advice and easy engagement for parents, this book is a must on every child's bookshelf!
~ Alasdair Groves
If emotions are complex for adults (AKA, me!) to understand and respond to appropriately, how much more so for children? This is why I'm so glad Christina has given us a helpful tool for guiding our kids through emotions like disappointment, anger, and failure. Best of all, she roots each lesson in biblical truth, particularly in the psalms which give voice to our hearts. I recommend this book to you!
