Tales of the Not Forgotten by Beth Guckenberger a LitFuse Tour

Celebrate with Beth by entering her Kindle Fire Giveaway and connecting with her during the Author Chat Party on 7/31

Haiti, Nigeria, India and Mexico.  Those are all far away places to most of us.  The people who live there so different.  Through the pages and stories we see that they are not so different.  They have the same needs for food, shelter, happiness and love.  Most importantly, there is a need for Jesus in all.  These stories share how these four children – not so different from you, learn of Jesus and see love in action.  Written to the pre-teen children who often feel forgotten themselves in what they can do for the Lord.  The stories here can help them to see where and how they can be the ‘hands’ and ‘feet’.  At the least, it is inspiring and heart changing.

Follow these real-life stories as they take you on a journey to faraway lands and unknown faces. Travel through their challenges and see the hand of the great Storyweaver writing endings you’d never imagine!
Joel dares to ask for what he can’t have. Seraphina sacrifices what she can’t afford to give. Ibrahim looks for an answer buried out of reach. Christiana, saved by a mission, searches for her own.
These are the tales of the ones the world doesn’t see . . . the tales of the not forgotten.
In this collection of four real-life stories written for preteens, a compelling storyteller paints a picture of God’s dynamic movement in four foreign cultures, inspiring children to trust that God is weaving a story in their lives as well.
This resource will shrink the macro picture down to approachable, individual stories of real children and teach about fundamental survival issues. The stories address some of the challenging questions that kids have and weave God’s promises to orphans into each one.
The Tales of the Not Forgotten Leader’s Guide is a 6-session kids’ missions resource (sold separately) that walks adults through an easy-to-follow guide for making the abstract real and for designing an action plan to help others.
Preteens will be challenged to answer the questions:How do I pray? What can I give? Where can I go? Who will I serve?

To purchase your own copy just head over here.  Other reviews through the LitFuse tour may be read here.  There is also a leader’s guide chock full of fun and learning to make this more than a book to hand to your child or read with them.

The Leader’s Guide for Tales of the Not Forgotten is a CD-rom full of resources to use with upper-elementary aged children.  Intended for six sessions going through the book chapter by chapter, or tale by tale.  Their are hands-on discussion activities, read-aloud scenes from Scripture and pages to share with the families of the participants.  The pages are all in .doc format so that you can print or e-mail to any helpers or participants.  Though this is set up to be used with a group through a church or school, most of the things are easy to adapt to family use.  Some of the extra-activities would be great for homeschool families to make a whole unit study from each tale/country studied.
