Gwen Tells Tales: When It's Hard to Tell the Truth

Help children see that God always accepts us when we repent and confess our sins, and that He gives us the humility to speak the truth when it's hard. 

Gwen Raccoon is embarrassed when she gets a failing grade on a math test. But that's not the big problem: the big problem is that she is cultivating the habit of lying to do what she wants and cover up her mistakes. Gwen's lies pile up. But when Mama confesses her own failure to tell the truth, Gwen gains the courage to confess and ask forgiveness of Jesus and of those she has lied to.

Featuring:

• A special section that guides parents in helping their children be truth-tellers
• Cut-out Bible verses that remind children and adults that God's forgiveness is always available to cleanse us from sin; and the Holy Spirit always gives strength to speak the truth

Gwen Tells Tales is part of The Good News for Little Hearts book series, which aims to bring gospel help and biblical counsel to families. Based on a model of biblical hope and help, each story focuses on real-life issues, offering practical ways to follow Jesus in the midst of challenging circumstances. Drawing on what Scripture says about living by faith in everyday life, these titles guide parents toward meaningful conversations with their kids and encourage little ones to grow in trust and love for God.

"These books are a uniquely different genre from classic children's bedtime reading. They are counseling books to help children. They provide a creative avenue for children to consider how their faith is intimately relevant to their struggles. This is what makes this series of books so significant."
—David Powlison, Executive Director of CCEF
