My Thoughts
Tales of the Defended Ones is the second book in Beth Guckenberger's Storyweaver series. I loved the first book in the series - Tales of the Not Forgotten and couldn't wait to read this one. Beth has written this collection of stories for children 8 years old and up with each story pointing to God and how we can see Him in the stories, even the hard ones to read. The children's stories shared are heartbreaking, yet filled with hope.
I love that Beth includes pictures, facts about the places where the children live, and insight into the culture where their stories begin. She also shares something to remember at the end of each story and a space to write down thoughts as well as snippets from her own journal.
Beth shares these stories of children to let others know that our stories are all interwoven and God is our Storyweaver. She invites us to hear how God is working in people's lives and to get involved. Not only are both books in the Storyweaver series great reading for individuals, but are fantastic to read together as a family.
