Shine: Choices That Make God Smile

by Genny Monchamp, Karol Kaminski (Illustrator)

Shine brings the scriptural fruits of the Holy Spirit as contained in Galatians 5--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control--to daily life for children ages 4-7. Realistic scenarios are presented in an interactive question format that invites young readers to build the confidence they need to make the right choices. Providing examples of positive choices, the ways that children can "shine" are illuminated, helping them to develop strong Christian character. Winner of a 2012 Christopher Award!
