  • Description

    Even young children want answers to difficult questions about God, suffering, loss, and hardship. In The Moon Is Always Round, seminary professor and author Jonathan Gibson uses the changing appearance of the moon to help children understand that God's goodness is always present, even when difficult circumstances make it hard to see.

    The story follows conversations between a father and his young son after the death of the boy's sister. Together they share a simple liturgy centered on the moon's phases: although the moon may appear as a crescent, half-moon, or another shape, it is always round. In the same way, God remains good through every phase of life.

    Illustrated in full color by Joe Hox, this hardcover picture book is designed to help parents, caregivers, and ministry leaders discuss grief, suffering, and God's sovereignty with children. A section at the back offers additional biblical guidance for parents and caregivers who want to help children understand God's goodness during hard seasons.
