Become a real superhero! Learn how to use the powers God gave you to continue the work of creation and repair the world.
"We don't have to pretend to use the powers God has given us. These powers are real and they are super! Our God shares God's powers with us so we can make our lives better and the lives of others better. When we learn how to use God's superpowers, we become God's partners— God's superheroes—on earth."
—from the Introduction
This inspirational guide for kids ages eight to twelve is a marvel, showing them (and their families) that it's easy to become God's partner on earth: figure out what God does in the Bible, then do it!
God creates, blesses, rests, calls, comforts, cares, repairs, wrestles, gives and forgives. For each of God's superpowers, Dr. Ron Wolfson gives kids stories and suggestions for what might be on their own God's to-do list— the many ways they can use their superpowers to make a difference in the lives of others, and find meaning and purpose for their own.
Industry Reviews
In this highly readable and inspiring volume that teaches what it means to be a partner with God, Wolfson describes 10 actions, which he terms "superpowers," that turn individuals into divine helpers. Each chapter introduces a superpower (create, bless, comfort, forgive, etc.) and shows its basis in the Torah. In a kid-friendly conversational tone, he asks his readers to write down examples they've encountered of each capability. He uses delightful stories to illustrate what the superpowers are about and concludes with to-do lists to help young readers turn concepts into reality. To clarify what it means, for example, to "give," Wolfson tells the story of Olivia's decision to have her friends bring frozen turkeys as her birthday gifts, which she then donates to a food shelter. Brief and engaging, this book makes it easy for kids (and grownups, too) to make themselves, and the world, better. Ages 8-12. (July)
