Children's Duo

Delightful! That's the best word to describe this duo of children's books. The author is Lisa Tawn Bergren. She's taken on the task of explaining the gospel message to children and she succeeds.


In God Gave us Love, Little Cub is out fishing with her grandfather.
She is not pleased when the otters are scaring away the fish!
But Grampa Bear carefully explains that they can share their fishing spot.
He tells her that showing love to others, both families and friends,
is something we can do to share God's love.
We know God loves us because he sent his Son to show us.









In the second book, God Gave us Christmas, Little Cub is excitedly getting ready for Christmas. She starts questioning her mom about Santa, God, and Christmas. Mama Bear takes Little Cub on a camping expedition to find God. Little Bear learns God is easy to find because He is everywhere. And to answer her question about how we got Christmas, Mama Bear tells her, "Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus is how God gave us Christmas."

Beautifully illustrated, simply presented, and fun to read. Your little ones will love them. I did.


Both are hardback from WaterBrook Press.
