Books with title Happy Halloween, Mittens

I love Halloween. Every year I turn on my front porch light to superheroes, animals, princesses, and pirates all dressed in cool costumes. It’s exciting to hear the shouts: “Trick or treat!” and even more fun to give out candy with this Halloween treat. The candy you get this year may be really sweet, but even sweeter than candy is knowing how much God loves you! God thinks you’re great just the way you are with freckles or warts or braces or crazy hair, it doesn’t matter. God thinks you’re so special that he sent his Son, Jesus, to give you a wonderful gift. The Bible calls this amazing gift eternal life, or life that lasts forever. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16. Don’t let anyone trick you into thinking you have to be extra good so that God will love you and let you into heaven one day. None of us can be good enough to earn God’s love. All of us do bad things (sin) like telling lies, think­ing bad thoughts, or hurting other people. Our bad behavior pushes us away from God and we deserve to be punished. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. But Jesus took our place and was punished for us when he died on the cross and rose again. That’s how much he loves you. The Bible says: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses (sins), made us alive together with Christ…” Ephesians 2:4,5. You know the candy people give you at Halloween? If you didn’t accept it, it wouldn’t be yours. The same is true with God’s great gift of forgiveness and eternal life. You have to accept his gift. That means, ask Jesus to forgive you for the bad things you’ve done, and be­lieve that he died for you and rose to heaven to take away your sin. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 6:23. If you want God’s amazing gift of eternal life, then say a prayer like this: God, I’m sorry I do bad things. Please forgive me. I believe your only Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross and rose again to take away my sins. Thank you for loving me so much and giving me your gift of eternal life. Amen!

A fun Halloween story from bestselling author-illustrator Liesbet Slegers! We celebrate Halloween on the last day of October. That is the festival of ghosts, jack-o'-lanterns, masks and costumes, and trick-or-treating! Do you think ghosts exist? No, of course they don't - but dressing up like a ghost is really fun! Boo! A simple story with bright illustrations introduces children to the fun of Halloween. Recommended for young children.

Samantha, James and Mandy are brother and sisters. Their parents decide to take a break in a quiet village over Halloween weekend. The children are rather concerned that staying in a boring village is going to spoil their trick-or-treating. Whilst Halloween is certainly going to be very different to usual, it will be far from boring! Samantha discovers an old book of spells and quickly realises that she alone is capable of harnessing its dangerous powers. She is soon drawn into a sinister and terrifying world of wizards and witches and must escape or lose her life and risk the safety of the normal world.
