Faith Roots: A Story of God's Trustworthy Love for Children of All Ages

by Nicole Parker, Adel Arrabito Torres (Illustrator), Alan Parker (Introduction)

How can we trust God’s love when He allows suffering? Will He ever avenge the evils of injustice and abuse, and if so, why doesn't He do it now? Faith Roots is the tender, heart-wrenching story of young Asher and Zara, Hebrew slave children in Egypt. They struggle to understand why a loving and powerful God doesn’t deliver them from slavery. Moses promises God will set them free, but things keep getting worse instead of better. Is their God really more powerful than the Egyptian gods? Why doesn’t He answer their prayers now? Can a loving God really use unjust suffering to finally vanquish both sin and pain in the end? Faith Roots will transform the perspective of seekers of every age who have experienced suffering and abuse. Inspiring, relevant lessons on faith and courage from the biblical Exodus come alive in this gripping story of hate, heartache, healing, and hope.

This book really helped me through a tough situation. Sometimes things are plain unfair, but God calls us to be soft and usable no matter what happens. We have to soak ourselves in His love and His promises.
