You can have a friend who loves you always, Who forgives you - no matter what - and Who promises you a home with Him in Heaven someday.  That friend is Jesus, and The Gospel for Kids tells you how He can be your friend and Savior.  Lovingly written, the story of salvation in language kids can understand.  More than 100,000 copies in print, translated into nine languages.

"The Gospel for Kids is one of the best books of Jesus for young people that I have encountered." - Madeline L'Engle, author of the children's classic, A Wrinkle in Time

"... a magnificent piece of writing, making the Gospel message so plain and at the same time losing none of its beauty." - Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of the best-selling inspirational classic, The Power of Positive Thinking, and founder, Guideposts magazine.

"Kathryn Slattery has told the story so simply, briefly, cutting right to the essentials, managing to mix the profoundest truth with humor, talking to children without talking down to them.  The Gospel for Kids goes on our grandparent bookshelf with great anticipation." - Elizabeth Sherrill, author of The Hiding Place and All The Way to Heaven

More than a story about death, Grandma I'll Miss You is a beautiful story about life.  Katy knows she will miss Grandma when she dies, but in this heartwarming story Katy learns that death is a lot like birth.  It is the beginning of a new life - one that is brighter, happier, more colorful, love-filled, and real than anything we've ever known - a new life in heaven with the Lord.

Sharing Grandma I'll Miss You with children during happier times will help them think about death and introduce them to its mystery before they encounter its reality.  It will also comfort them - and you - when the pain of losing someone you love makes life hard to understand. 

"Grandma I'll Miss You is a beautiful book.  It carries a message in a profoundly touching way and will be a wonderful help to parents in grief situations." - Ruth (Mrs. Norman Vincent) Peale

"A difficult subject, sensitively and movingly handled." - Anne Tyler, Pulitzer prize-winning author, Breathing Lessons, Back When We Were Grownups, Digging to America

"I have never read a book which put death in such a beautiful perspective for children and adults, too!  When I read the story you could have heard a pin drop.  The children were entranced.  One little boy who had lost his mother was deeply moved." - Zita O'Brien, Educational Director, St. Thomas More Church, Darien, Connecticut

Grandma I'll Miss You is recommended reading for children in bereavement situations by:
