Fans of Clare's Costly Cookie---this one is for the boys!

In this second book in the Dear God series, readers join us for another engaging story by Patti Maguire Armstrong!

Luke, a 5th grader, finds out he's going to be homeschooled with his brothers, he can't believe it and questions whether or not God is listening when he prays to go back to school with his friends. Will Luke end up learning that sometimes God answers our prayers in ways we don't expect?

 

Readers will embark on a thrilling adventure with a mischievous main character, Luke, who navigates real challenges and discovers the transformative power of doing the right thing, even when it's difficult. Through Luke's journey, this book imparts essential lessons about acceptance, understanding, and the nature of God's responses to our prayers. Luke's encounters—be it on a family vacation, a friend's farm, or his quest for attention—reveal the profound truth that we may not always be in control of our circumstances, but we have the power to choose how we react to them.

Parents and children between the ages of 8 and 12 will find themselves captivated by the profound wisdom embedded within these pages. One parent shares how their special needs teenage son, typically uninterested in reading, has carried this book around for days, captivated by its storyline and the relatable experiences of the characters. The spiritual lesson of waiting patiently for God's answers to our prayers resonates deeply, reminding us all of the power of trust in our journey of faith. This book strikes a chord with families as it explores the transformative power of letting go and allowing God to guide our lives. 

Don't miss the opportunity to share this extraordinary gift of faith and adventure with your children. Get your hands on Dear God, You Can't Be Serious and watch as its pages come to life, capturing the hearts and imaginations of readers of all ages!

In days where our children are bombarded by anti-Christian or at best, secular attitudes and messages, good Catholic books are an indispensable S.O.S. for their faith. The bonus is that these books are entertaining even older kids and parents who Patti keeps being told, “couldn’t put them down.”

From page one until the end, Dear God, You Can't Be Serious is a great read that is relatable to anyone who had a mischievous childhood.

This was a great book: fun, funny, fast paced, and full of interesting adventures that will keep young readers engaged. Best of all, though, is that there is real substance and value in this book to repay the time spent reading it. Here is a story where the boy who is the main character faces a real challenge, and has to do the right thing when it's hard, and he grows and learns in the process. So its fun, and worthwhile.

This is a lovely book to present to all kids, especially those struggling with how to accept God's will in their life. It is easy to read and entertaining for all ages with trials and tribulations all children can relate to. They will see that sometimes following God's will can result in blessings and graces they never even could have imagined. The main character, Luke, is easily relatable like many kids: stubborn, occasionally getting into trouble, but well intentioned. I highly recommend!

Since our family enjoyed Patti Armstrong's first book, Dear God, I Don't Get It, in the Dear God series, we were excited to start this second book. I read this one aloud also to my children whose ages range from elementary to high school. The chapters kept everyone's attention because they were short and engaged everyone's imaginations. I also knew this book had my children's attention from the first chapter forward since they kept asking me to continue reading at the end of each chapter. They wanted to know what was going to happen next each time. I love how the main character, Luke, asked questions my own children (and myself) have asked in our own spiritual journeys. The book was also a great springboard for discussions with our family. What a blessing Patti Armstrong has been for us and so many others as she continues to share her gift of words and wisdom through the pages of these stories that will delight and inspire all, young and old!
