God protects and takes care of his people in amazing ways. He is powerful and good, and he always keeps his promises. Through the Bible stories in God Wins, children will hear about Joshua, David, Daniel's friends, and Esther. Even though these heroes were afraid, they obeyed God and were used to save God's people.
Author Jared Kennedy uses simple words and concepts to help toddlers and preschoolers understand that in any situation God always wins. The interactive questions in the stories help children understand that God still takes care of us today.
This beautifully illustrated board book for ages three to five is part of the Beginner's Gospel Story Book series. The preschool-friendly pictures in God Wins will also help teach about shapes, colors, and counting. Children will be captivated by the bright, modern illustrations and the simple encouraging content will help them trust God, no matter what.
"I can't wait to read God Wins to my children. This vibrant board book teaches kids thrilling Old Testament stories while also highlighting the person of Jesus and the nature of the gospel. Beautifully illustrated and neither too simple nor too complex, this fun book is one both you and your little ones will love."
Brett McCracken, senior editor at The Gospel Coalition, author of The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World and Uncomfortable: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community
"As a father, it warms my heart to hear my daughters say "read it again daddy!" As a pastor, I heartily recommend this book, which effectively connects the big truths of God's victory to toddler and preschooler's hearts."
Aaron Rothermel, Pastor for Children and Families, Bethlehem Baptist Church, North Campus
"Some children's Bible storybooks can water down the gospel or turn to moralism. But God Wins by Jared Kennedy deftly engages children by keeping God at the center of each story. Kennedy helps kids understand key concepts and guides little ones in applying these truths in their own lives."
Jenny Marcelene, Christian writer helping families pursue God's glory across the street and around the globe
"Kids hear about Joshua, David, Daniel's friends, and Esther and think "I must be strong too." Jared Kennedy helps kids grasp the beautiful gospel truth God is strong for us! This bright, beautiful board book will delight a preschooler's attention. Even more, kids will be heartened with the real thrill God Wins!"

Nice compilation of stories, all showing how God wins, in and through us! Each story has a little blurb on what we can learn from the story and apply to our own lives. Battle of Jericho (Only Jesus can save us), David and Goliath (When we're afraid, we can trust Jesus), Shadrach Meshach Abednego (We can brag about Jesus), Esther (We can be brave for Jesus).

LOVE this set of books!! The content is truth-filled, Scripture-based, and engaging! Just what you need and want in books for your church or home book collection, right?! I put these out on our Greeter Desk at church because they are FANTASTIC and I want parents and leaders to engage with them!!
A collection of Bible stories (Esther, Joshua, David, Shadrach & friends) who were protected by God during a battle. Great explanation of how God takes care of his people and wins over sin

Jared Kennedy and Trish Mahoney have teamed up again to bring us God Wins: Walls, Giants, and Enemies Fall. Jared Kennedy has written God Wins: Walls, Giants, and Enemies Fall for preschoolers, introducing them to the Bible Stories of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho, David and Goliath. The Story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and The Story of Queen Esther as part of The Beginner’s Gospel Storybook Series published by New Growth Press. Along with introducing each of the mentioned Bible Stories there are questions sprinkled all throughout the book as well as the Bible reference to each of the Stories. Trish Mahoney’s illustrations complement what is written extremely well too. This is the third book I have read by Jared Kennedy and I love how Mr. Kennedy writes books for the preschool age in ways that they can understand without watering down The Truth. I love the Message that is in God Wins: Walls, Giants, and Enemies Fall and that it teaches children and adults alike that God will always take care of us and that we can trust Him with anything. I love how each story includes the Bible reference so that when it’s being read you can read it from the Bible as well. (That is also a great way to remind and show the children in your life that the Stories in God Wins: Walls, Giants, and Enemies Fall really did happen and are true because they are in the Bible.) I can easily see God Wins: Walls, Giants, and Enemies Fall being used as a Family Devotional when going through each of the stories Jared Kennedy mentions (it could even be used as inspiration for what could be taught to a Preschool Class at Church). I love the questions that are throughout the book and how it makes the book engaging and leads to good discussions. Trish Mahoney’s illustrations will capture the young one’s attention to important aspects of the book. If you are looking for a book for young ones that is wrapped Biblical Truth, then I highly recommend God Wins: Walls, Giants, and Enemies Fall by Jared Kennedy and illustrated by Trish Mahoney.

Author Jared Kennedy’s God Wins is a powerful faith-building book for little learners. No matter how hopeless a situation may seem, God Wins! The four Bible stories included show ‘walls, giants, and enemies’ falling as God protects His people. One of the stories included is the ever-popular David and Goliath, but the other three are lesser-known and are likely to introduce children to new Bible stories. These include the wall of Jericho, King Nebuchadnezzar, and Queen Esther. These are a few of God’s ‘against all odds’ victories that are sure to inspire children and are a great introduction to the Bible. Each story is only a few pages long, making it perfect for short attention spans. Trish Mahoney’s colorful and engaging illustrations are once again paired with Kennedy’s book. Her style is cute, kid-friendly, and always includes enough color and detail to hold the interest of young children.
I really liked the illustrations. I liked the Bible stories that were chosen to illustrate how God loves us. I liked that these stories were written so young children would understand them. I received a copy of this book from the publisher for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
This is a small collection of four bible stories, all showing how God strengthens ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances: the battle of Jericho, David and Goliath, four men in a furnace, and Queen Esther. Here at Little Readers Corner, we find the stories well pitched to a toddler and preschool audience. We also really appreciated the questions at the end of each section that lead readers back to Jesus and to the gospel. Our children enjoyed reading through this book and could easily understand the message of each story. The last three stories work together particularly well, as each “hero” of the story needs to face something that makes them afraid (a scary giant, standing up for what you believe in, and speaking the truth). These are all struggles that we continue to face today, and it is encouraging to read about heroes of faith who are strengthened by God to do the hard things we are also afraid to do. The illustrations are bright and vivid, quickly capturing the imagination of little readers. We did find that the book could use either an introduction or conclusion to help apply the theme of God wins to the lives of children - something that the cover illustration implies, but this is never made explicit in the book. This would help provide a clear framework for the stories, rather than abruptly beginning the battle of Jericho with the word “finally.” All four bible stories demonstrate that it is not through people’s strength or power that amazing things can be accomplished but that it is God working through them to bring salvation to the people of Israel. This is a beautiful message to be able to share with children.
