Good Gifts Come from God helps children see all the good gifts God has given them and to remember James 1:17: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above."
Every day God gives us good gifts to enjoy—family, friends, sunshine, hugs, smiles, and kind words. The greatest gift from God is sending his Son, Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. We should always thank God for his good and perfect gifts.
In Good Gifts Come from God, Sally Michael helps parents to instruct the mind, engage the heart, and influence the will of their children as they learn a new Scripture. Each page shows pictures and asks questions to engage them in understanding the verse. Repetition of the verse throughout the book helps children memorize the Bible verse (ESV) after just a few readings. Also included are pointers for helping children memorize and suggestions for activities that will reinforce "Living by the Word."
"As important as it is to help our young children memorize key Scripture verses, it also makes a big difference if they are led to think deeply and clearly about what those verses mean! This new series of short and attractive books, Bible Verses to Remember, helps parents and Christian workers accomplish both goals. They focus on verses that express truths central to our Christian faith and the questions and narrative show what these verses mean and how important they are to our lives. What a gift to our children!"
Bruce A. Ware, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Barbara Reaoch, Author of A Jesus Christmas and A Jesus Easter
"Sally Michael has crafted a new set of easy-to-use tools for helping families treasure God's Word together. She's combined the skill of a master teacher with her heart as a mother and grandmother to create this beautifully illustrated series of children's books. In each book—whether Good Gifts Come from God, Give God Your Worries, or Our Great God—you and your children will hear Sally's wise and winsome words about our great and gracious Lord."

"Sally Michael and Sengsavane Chounramany have created a visual feast to nourish children's souls. Michael features one bedrock verse per book, explaining what it means and why it matters. In so doing, she helps children experience the benefits of meditating on God's Word. Simple but not simplistic, the Bible Verses to Remember books teach children how to understand and apply God's Word to their own lives. They're brimming with life-transforming truths about God in words children can understand. Delightful, vibrant illustrations serve the prose, all for the purpose of leading children to faith. A feast for the eyes and the soul."

When I read Good Gifts Come from God recently, I was excited to find out that it was centered around James 1:17a. James 1:17a is a Bible verse that has really been ministering to me lately.

These books are short and sweet but can be used over and over. Repetition is so helpful in teaching young minds. The parent notes in the back discuss this as well as other tips in how to use the book and memorize Scripture. The three books are: 1. Give God Your Worries (1 Peter 5:7) 2. Good Gifts Come from God (James 1:17a 3. Our Great God (Psalm 95:3) My favorite of the three was probably "Good Gifts Come from God," but they really are each lovely in their own way.
