Book Praise: Win or Lose, I Love You!

For the past couple of years, my husband and I have followed the simplified gift giving plan that you can find on many blogs.

Something they want.

Something they need.

Something to wear.

Something to read.

With three kids, a small house and more “stuff” than is necessary, it is difficult to come up with quality gifts  that my children will enjoy. One thing for sure is that a good book is never an unloved gift but wading through all of the choices on Amazon can be overwhelming. Almost impossible to find an enjoyable children’s book. So, let me make it easy for you, if you are looking for a beautifully illustrated, well written story with a timely moral lesson, look no further than Win Or Lose, I Still Love You! by Lysa Terkeurst.

This is a sweet book about how Lulu (yes, my favorite name), Max and their other forest friends work to overcome the their natural inclination to always wanting to be first. Choosing a Christ like perspective, Lysa Terkeurst uses gentle situations to point out our selfish tendencies, the importance of fairness and poor sportsmanship while emphasizing the importance of being a good leader.

Mrs. Terkeurst also includes 10 scripture verses that can be used as memory exercises or to lend a support to portions of the story. The verses and lessons help reinforce that God has a plan for each of us whether we win or lose and that no matter what, our children are still deeply loved and cherished.

You may not win, but you must try,

Sometimes you’ll lose, but there is no need to cry.

Win or lose, one thing that’s true

No matter what, I love you!
