So It Begins: Hello God? It's Me, Joy Bomb - Children's Chapter Book Fiction for 8-12 - Silly but Serious Too! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781777858704)

Is there a God, and does He hear me?That is a question eleven-year-old Joy Bomb asked herself and when she started to explore, what she found was crazy. Well, wacky. At least that is what people call the old woman across the street who is helping Joy and her friends unpack the mysteries found in an ancient book. Joy's life is far from perfect, but her heart is sincere and full of questions.
These kids are new to all this God stuff but they are finding that the spiritual world is anything BUT boring!

In this first book of the 'Hello God' series, readers will get to know slightly quirky Joy, her family and friends as they discover talking to God . . . and listening!

Joy even shares a few pages of her own personal prayer journal. (Can you even believe she would do that!)

Kids and tweens are HUNGRY for spiritual food.

Give every child a safe place to learn, explore and express their thoughts, feelings and spiritual curiosity.
Joy and her friends are not being raised in Christian families, but these kids are seeking! The book series serves up a full serving of silliness alongside easy to swallow, serious main courses.
As readers follow Joy in her journey, they will pick up subtle lessons on effective, practical, coping skills and learn about a God who hears them and speaks. Joy shares pages from her own prayer journal which helps readers learn the power of unlocking thoughts and emotions and encourages them to do the same. An opportunity is given at the end of every story day for the reader to guess what Joy is feeling, and then circle or color the emoticon. This teaches young ones how to have empathy for others in a fun way!
