I Need to Trust in God (God & Me Series) – Joel & Mary Beeke

I Need to Trust in God

Age Range 4 to 7 years

Full color illustrated books for children

See how Caleb learns that faith in God results in hating our sin.

Parents, use this book to explain to your children that faith involves three acts: to truly know God, to agree with what He says in His Word about Himself and about us, and to trust in His Son alone for salvation.

Make sure they learn that we have no ability to save ourselves.  Jesus alone can save us by His death on the cross and by His perfect life of obedience.  God’s gift of grace enables us to repent of our sins and to trust in Jesus Christ who died to take the punishment for sinners like us.

About the Series of four God and Me books

Caleb and Sophie are your average kids – curious about their world, taught about the character and expectations of God, and wanting to be faithful in what they do.

In each of these books the concepts of faith, hope, love, and love for others is distilled down to simple forms and then introduced in ways a child will understand – conversation, prayer, actions, and thoughts.

Sophie and Caleb react in ways that you would expect in a child – with simple faith and the sort of fruit of the Spirit you expect in young children.
