  • episode 49: His Grace is Enough, How God Makes it Right When We’ve Got it Wrong, by Melissa Krueger

    Written by Melissa Krueger and illustrated by Isobel Lundie, published by The Good Book for Children. This illustrated, rhyming book will help parents explain to children the unique and wonderful Christian message of God’s grace—that Jesus offers forgiveness and allows us to move on from our mistakes.

    It can be used to share the heart of the Christian faith with children or to remind them that Jesus is the person to run to when they mess up.

    Children will learn that God’s grace is enough to cleanse and change us every day, as the book itself says...

    My child, here’s the truth:

    From God, you can’t hide
    He sees what you’ve done
    He knows what’s inside

    But please don’t despair

    There’s good news, I say!
    Whatever you do
    God’s grace makes a way

    Yes, his grace is enough

    It’s so big and so free
    His grace is enough
    Both for you and for me

    This beautiful hardback book makes a great gift for children aged 3-6 and even beyond.

  • episode 48: Goodbye to Goodbyes, by Lauren Chandler (A True Story About Jesus, Lazarus, and an Empty Tomb

    Teach young children that Jesus came to end goodbyes. Jesus knew how scary it is when someone gets really sick. He knew how sad it is when someone dies. Jesus cried when his friend, Lazarus, died. But he did something at his friend’s tomb that changed everything. He showed that he came to give his friend’s life in the land that lies after our dying. In this vivid, moving and exciting retelling of the story of Lazarus, Lauren Chandler helps children understand how Jesus makes all the difference to death. Children will see that because Jesus rose from death, he has power over it and all who believe in him will also rise, just as Lazarus did. The author, Lauren Chandler, used the story of Lazarus to help her own children come to terms with her husband’s (Matt Chandler) brain tumor. Whether children are coming to terms with the illness or death of a loved one, or simply fearful of when that day might come, this book reassures them with the amazing truth that Jesus came to to say goodbye to goodbyes — forever.

  • episode 45: The God Contest, The True Story of Elijah, Jesus, and the Greatest Victory

    Read by Pam Larson (Mimi), written by Carl Laferton, published by The Good Book Company

    Teach children about two extraordinary events in history when the God of the Bible proved himself to be the one true God.


    Kids today are faced with a huge range of different views on who God is (or isn’t). How can they be sure who’s got it right?

    This beautifully illustrated hardback storybook for children aged 3-6 is written by the team behind The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross. It retells two extraordinary events in history when the God of the Bible proved himself to be the one true God.

    First it takes children back to Elijah’s time and the gripping “God contest” between the God of the Bible, Yahweh, and the false god Baal. Then it fast-forwards to a different mountain and another “God contest” at an empty tomb.

    Once the evidence is examined, it invites kids, in a world of so many options, to decide with confidence to join Team Jesus.

    Carl Laferton is EVP Publishing/Editorial Director at TGBC. He is the bestselling author of the kids’ books The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross and The God Contest, and also serves as series editor of the God’s Word For You series. Before joining TGBC, he worked as a journalist, a teacher, and pastored a congregation in Hull. Carl is married to Lizzie and they have two children, Benjamin and Abigail. He studied history at Oxford University.
