It’s pretty easy to see that kids struggle with selfishness and impatience as we struggle to teach them to grow into loving adults. But do a search on children's books that show kids how to act more loving, and you will get sing-songy and vague stories without real application to their lives. But not anymore.
How to Love Like Jesus: A Guide for Children and Their Parents is a one-of-a-kind children’s book because it is non-fiction, explaining what “agape” love looks like in a fun, kid-focused way through close analysis of the 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 verse. It is the famous passage often called “Love is Patient, Love is Kind.”
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
Each describing word of love is explained in kid-friendly language with examples that are applicable to their lives. The full-color illustrations provide further examples as well that are relatable and even funny. Your children will love to read it together and on their own. Some of the parents have even shared how much they have learned themselves about love. Check out the reviews!
The book is available as a Kindle on Amazon as well as in a 32-page paperback. You can read the whole book in one sitting, or you can read each part of the verse a day like a devotional. What ever works best for your child and his or her developmentally.
Finally, a book that really explains how to apply the bible to kids!
This book is the first in a series of books by author, Theresa Hemsath. Look for her coming books on The Fruit of the Spirit and on The Roman Road to Salvation.
Here are some testimonials from its readers:

"We really enjoyed the way the author took a difficult biblical concept and brought it down to a very practical children's level. This is a great purchase for any parent or grandparent!!"

"This is an excellent resource for parents who want to teach their children how to love like Jesus. I was also reminded of struggles that I have in showing love in the way that I'm called to as well.I would highly recommend it!"

"I think this book/ebook is a wonderful in hand guide as to how God calls us to love. What I love most is that there are actual scriptures, not just her opinion. I have this book both on my daughter's kindle (bc she loves to color on her books) and a hard copy bc I'm a tad old fashioned in that when reading to my girls I prefer to have the book in hand.
Top favorite things about this book:
1) scripture
2) illustration is child friendly - but mostly I love that the kids are not just one ethnicity but of Multi-cultural
3) easy read
I hope one day she is able to make a series of simple to the point books like this- and maybe some audio books for the blind and other forms Of reading for those with disabilities :)
