SOS GOD!\u2019s humorous poems inspire children to pray, showing them they don\u2019t need fancy words to talk to God. They can speak to Him like a BFF!! Each poem encourages kids to have a personal relationship with the Lord, reassuring them of His love, no matter what! They\u2019ll learn to be grateful for the joys in their lives, and they\u2019ll discover they can ask God for help with whatever ails them! The poems are narrated in a child\u2019s voice, with Bible scriptures listed by each one, so parents can use the book as a devotional. It is unique in its amusing child narration and its boldness to talk to a loving God about anything and everything. Children will face fear with: \u201cThe Lord is my light and the One who saves me. So why should I fear anyone? The Lord protects my life. So why should I be afraid?\u201d Psalm 27: 1 ICB They\u2019ll conquer low self-esteem, proclaiming: \u201cI praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well.\u201d Psalm 139:14 ICB They\u2019ll rejoice in God\u2019s goodness, declaring: \u201cGod, your love is so precious! You protect people as a bird protects her young under her wings. They eat the rich food in your house. You let them drink from your river of pleasure.\u201d Psalm 36:7-8 ICB There are also activity sheets at the end for children to interact with the Bible. SOS GOD! is the perfect book to draw children (and adults) closer to God. Susan C. Burritt was born in Rochester, New York. Facing difficulties in childhood, she discovered reading took her to new and exciting worlds! Books became her greatest pleasure and escape.
