Telling the Truth (Growing God's Kids): A Book about Lying

Stories to Encourage Positive Behavior in Small Children

The preschool and kindergarten years are some of the most important formative years of a person's life. Habits and attitudes developed during these crucial years affect a child for the rest of his or her life. These years are also a challenging time for parents as their children test boundaries (and patience). How parents and children respond makes all the difference in the world.

The Growing God's Kids series is designed to help young children understand their feelings, develop godly ways to deal with temptations, and form positive attitudes and behaviors that will serve them well in the future. In Telling the Truth, parents and children are encouraged to address lying and discover the value of telling the truth.

Come and learn a better way to handle the truth--God's way!


The Growing God's Kids series helps young children learn how to deal with emotions and behaviors that are part of growing up.
