Books with author Pamela Kennedy

This extension of the popular Five-Minute Devotions line introduces children to New Testament stories and encourages them to think about the meaning in the stories. Author Pamela Kennedy teams up with her daughter, Anne, to create a delightful Bible devotional that is perfect for morning, bedtime, or anytime. Each two-page devotion features a brief retelling of a New Testament story and its meaning, which is then related to the everyday lives of today's children. Questions follow to help reinforce the message, and a brief prayer and Bible verse complete the text, which is accompanied by whimsical illustrations from Amy Wummer. Ages 4-8.

Children never want their children to get a divorce and most have a very hard time dealing with it if it happens. They fear everything will change and that can be very scary. Here Pamela Kennedy tells the story of a child whose parents get divorced, and how the life they have after the divorce is different than what it was before. While things are different for the family, they learn that different doesn't always mean bad. This book includes a "Note to Parents" in which Vicki Wiley-Director of Children's Ministries at First Presbyterian Church in Honolulu-gives suggestions on how parents can talk to their children about divorce and reassure them of their parents' love.
