Be Like God—God's To-Do List for Kids

Finally, a book for kids ages eight through twelve that inspires a personal relationship with God. With good

humor and clear examples, Dr. Ron Wolfson explains

the biblical idea that every human being is made "in

the image of God," and that people of any age have

the potential to imitate God in order to bring God's

presence into the world. Jewish tradition calls this "repairing

the world."

It's easy to become God's partner on earth: figure

out what God does in the Bible, and then you do it

God creates, rests, blesses, calls, comforts, cares, repairs,

gives and forgives. For each of God's characteristics,

Wolfson offers stories and suggestions for what might

be on God's to-do list for kids the many ways they can

make a difference in the lives of others and find meaning

and purpose for their own.

This book will encourage kids to use their God-given

"super powers" to be creative, to turn off the computer

and rest, to be a blessing to parents and friends, to do

good deeds, to comfort those who are sick, to repair a little

corner of the world, to give of themselves, and to forgive

those who "mess up."

A great gift from parents and grandparents who are

eager for their kids to connect with spirituality, the Bible,

and God. A wonderful resource for religious school classrooms

of all faiths.
