Bee Attitudes: A Devotional for Families with Young Readers

No matter how hard Bennett Bee tries to succeed on his soccer team, he fails. In fact, his whole team seems to just lose one game after another. As his frustration continues to mount, Granddad Bee decides it is time to step in and teach Bennett about the Bee Attitudes—that is, the lessons taught by a Man named Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount. As the soccer season continues, Granddad teaches Bennett that winning or losing doesn’t matter. Blessings come to those who follow God’s Word.In this short devotional for young children, Becky Lane uses God’s smallest creatures to teach big lessons that will stick with your child as they face their own failures and disappointments.“The Bee Attitudes is a ‘game of faith’ devotional for young readers, combining colorful illustrations with an engaging writing style and game-themed narrative that will captivate very young readers while teaching valuable life lessons.
