The Bitterness Tree: An Interactive Storybook for Children and Parents (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578090573)

An Interactive Storybook, for Children and Parents In The Bitterness Tree you will follow a story about a young boy (Tommy) and his younger sister (Sally), and what happens to their relationship as unforgiveness comes in. Unforgiveness is the seed of The Bitterness Tree which soon branches out into resentment, retaliation, anger, hatred, violence, and murder. The story takes a break at the end of each chapter, with a "Teaching" section for the parent to help the child learn the spiritual side of the story. Then there is a "Making it Right" section, with a Q&A to help the child recognize any of their own unforgiveness, and a prayer of forgiveness and release. Doesn't sound like your typical "children's book," I know. We are hoping for something much more than a nice story...to equip the children (and maybe even a few parents) to see some of the traps laid for them, and know how to avoid them to live life to the fullest. You'll be glad to know, there IS a happy ending after all. When Tommy and Sally have a beautiful reconciliation, and reclaim peace in their lives. In The Bitterness Tree you will discover: How The Bitterness Tree grows and how to recognize its fruit What this Tree can do to you and your relationships How to deal with the bad fruit of this tree and remove yourself from its shade and into the light! Beautiful watercolor illustrations, and clever design layout, helps the readers stay engaged while reading the book. The easy to follow exercises are powerful, and will change lives.
