    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!


    Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆


    ☆ star = highly disliked & probably didn't finish.

    ☆☆ stars = wouldn't recommend.

    ☆☆☆ stars = mostly good but may have some concerns.

    ☆☆☆☆stars = very good.

    ☆☆☆☆☆ stars = reserved for my absolute favorite books.


    Ages: 5 and up


    Valuable lessons: Discerning right from wrong, the value of telling the truth, respectfulness, helping others, learning to think through how our actions affect others, and so much more.


    Questionable Content: While the stories are geared toward younger kids, there are a few scenes that may be intense for ages younger than five. Nothing questionable.
