How do I pray? What can I give? Where can I go? Who will I serve?
Tales of the Not Forgotten by Beth Guckenberger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely enjoyed this book–the way it was written and each story in it. It was written in an easy-to-read book, and the possibilities for this book are endless. This book is written for a kid’s Sunday School or Bible study lesson, the book touched my heart as well.
So often, children (and many adults) are egocentric in their world view. In the United States, we are more like that than almost anywhere else in the world. If it does not affect us or we don’t know about it, we don’t have to think about it. We can “forget” it. Thankfully, this book is written to remind us that even when we forget these people’s stories, God never does. And He can (and will) come along and remind us.
Along with the book, I was sent a leader’s guide. This has the ability to take this study to the next level. If you do this study at your church or even out of your home, you are able to print off the lessons and even e-mail them to the leaders. I am grateful to have this additional resource.
If you are looking for a great missions study to get kids (and teens/adults) excited about what God can do in other parts of the world and how He can use us for His service, this is the study for you. It will definitely touch your heart and open your world view in a way you never knew possible.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
