Does your child struggle with letting go of hurt or saying, “I forgive you”? Do you want to help them understand what forgiveness really means? This Christian children’s book gently guides young hearts toward healing and grace.
In the book, God, Help Me to Forgive, you’ll meet Joshua. He has a special way of keeping track of everyone who upsets him using tally marks. With every hurt, he adds another tally mark. But as the marks grow, so does the weight in his heart.
When Joshua’s parents share wisdom from the Bible about forgiveness and God’s love, he begins to understand a powerful truth: holding on to anger only hurts him more.
The message is powerful: God loves us and understands our hurt—and He gives us the strength to forgive, just like He forgives us.
This beautifully illustrated book includes:
Everyday situations that kids can relate to—helping them understand how and why we forgive.
Encouragement for kids to ask God for help when forgiveness feels hard.
Bible verses that teach children about God’s love and the importance of forgiving others.
Whether you're looking for a meaningful bedtime story, a faith-filled resource for Sunday School, or a special gift, God, Help Me to Forgive is a powerful reminder that forgiveness brings freedom, peace, and joy.
Are you ready to help your child trade their tally marks for forgiveness? Then, this book will be a good read!
