Melita K. Hildahl: Life is an Adventure with Ernie - Lessons for Children on How to Live by the Fruits of the Spirit
Book Summary
How does God want His children to handle bullies, stress, anger, frustration, or jealousy? The world tells us to strike back with more of the same, but God asks much more of us. He asks us to follow the example of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to live a Spirit filled life whereby we exhibit the fruits of His Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and selfcontrol spoken about in Galatians 5:22-25. Join Ernie Bunny, his family, and friends as they learn to make Godly choices in their everyday life. Here are six stories complete with discussion questions and activities that parents and teachers can use to help children learn to apply scripture to the challenges of everyday life. Teach our children how to handle life God’s way.
