FOXES, THIEVES, AND BUNNY TRAPS

Description

DOREEN TAMMINGA

God often teaches His children through everyday situations. Grab your bike and join Lucas and his friends as they discover new birds, get lost in the woods, and begin to face their fears and prejudices in thirteen short stories. Over the course of a year, these children learn to recognize the unkindness and self-righteousness in themselves, face the uncertainty of life, and experience the blessing of confession and forgiveness. Each chapter ends with a “Talk about It” to help you explore these topics further. Teach your children to see the Bible as a treasure, Jesus as the Good Shepherd, and that God works all things for the good of His people in these precious stories.

Endorsements

“In a style reminiscent of favorite Dutch storyteller W. G. VandeHulst, Tamminga immerses little readers in the beauty of God’s creation.  Through everyday events she emphasizes the need for tiny hearts to confess sin, to feel forgiveness, to show love, and to ponder God’s omniscience over life and death.”

—Christine Farenhorst, author of The New Has Come
