“Beth Guckenberger’s StrongHeart Stories are picture books with a purpose: to help make kids’ hearts more confident, hopeful, and joyful in the face of an enemy who wants them to be deceived, disappointed, and discouraged. And the message that we are loved, we are forgiven, and we are chosen is one that all of us need to hear, over and over again—grown-ups too!”

“The Heart Who Wanted to Find a Way is great for children (and any age, actually) as it is so easy to relate to and understand! We ALL have days that don’t work for us or don’t go as we planned. This book reminds us that no matter what, God is always there and if we just take a moment to look, we can see him in the things around us!! The message included is so perfect: “I’m okay, I can pray, God made today, He is the way.” Such a simple yet helpful thing we can say when we are in those uncomfortable and sometimes painful situations!  We can add our breath to this chant, which will help us release the tensions or big feelings we are feeling and find peace. All our teachers are going to help their students learn and use this chant in their daily lives and I have encouraged the adults to use this too!! Thank you, Beth, for such a sweet, wonderful and helpful book that reminds us that God really is with us ALL THE TIME!!!”
