A picture book adaptation drawn from Romans 7:19

A picture book adaptation drawn from Romans 7:19, The Good That I Should by Gwyn Borcherding is the story of a little boy who tries very hard to do the right thing but sometimes fails. The delightful rhyming text is nicely enhanced with the artwork of Vincent Nguyen. Young readers will learn that regardless of how often we fail to do the right thing, we can be forgiven because Jesus took the punishment for all of our sins. So it is always possible to start again, to do the right thing again, to not give into temptation or misbehave or neglect responsibilities. The Good That I Should is a welcome addition to family, Sunday School, and community library picturebook collections for Christian young readers.

Good News for Kids!

This little book reaches children (and adults!) in an honest description of the trouble we all have "being good." We just can't seem to do it! But there is an answer for those who believe Jesus came to save us from this very problem. Jesus' sacrifice for sin is handled very gently by the illustrator and the good news really sounds Good!
