We've been listening to these three books on repeat over the last week so I thought I would share them with you.
Two things make these books super special to me: they are on cassette which shows their age and I grew up listening to them. 🤍😄
I don't know that you can find the stories on tape anymore, but you can still find the books on Ebay or Thriftbooks. The covers may vary.
• What Would Jesus Do? Four simple words…that can change your life forever! What happens when a small-town pastor and a handful of children choose to live the way Jesus would? Faced with difficult decisions, they learn to love, share, and forgive in ways that impact the entire community.
• In His Hands is a continuation to the story of What Would Jesus Do?. In this story a group of children take a trip to the city of Chicago and meet some friends that need help along the way. They continue to learn how to ask the question, "What Would Jesus Do"?
• What Makes Jesus Happy? Far from civilization, the Bannons find their safety threatened by a tribe of Wild Warriors who plot to turn the neighboring Tuckitaws against them. But even as their troubles increase, young Eli learns a valuable lesson about choosing right from wrong when a kindhearted mountain man teaches him to make choices based on the test, Would this make Jesus happy?
I love how all three of these stories teach valuable lessons such as discerning right from wrong, helping others, telling the truth, and the power of prayer.
If you get a chance, be sure to check out these heart-warming stories!
