Gwen Tells Tales – When It`s Hard to Tell the Truth : When It's Hard to Tell the Truth

A warm, gospel-centered story for young children, Gwen Tells Tales helps kids learn the courage to tell the truth, confess their wrongs, and rest in the forgiveness and help Jesus gives.

Gwen Tells Tales is a warm, beautifully illustrated story that helps young children learn the courage of telling the truth and the comfort of God’s forgiveness when they fail. When Gwen Raccoon is embarrassed by a failing math grade, she begins piling up lies to cover her mistakes and protect herself. But as her dishonesty grows, so does the trouble it brings. Through her mother’s honest example and Gwen’s own confession, children see that telling the truth can be hard, but Jesus welcomes those who repent and gives them strength to walk in honesty. Part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, this gospel-centered book offers more than a lesson about behavior by helping children understand the deeper heart issues behind lying. Edited by Edward T. Welch and rooted in CCEF’s model of hope and help, it also includes a parent resource section and tear-out Back Pocket Bible Verses, equipping families for meaningful conversations about confession, forgiveness, and living by faith in everyday life.
