This illustrated, rhyming book will help parents explain to children the unique and wonderful Christian message of God’s grace—that Jesus offers forgiveness and allows us to move on from our mistakes.
It can be used to share the heart of the Christian faith with children or to remind them that Jesus is the person to run to when they mess up.
Children will learn that God’s grace is enough to cleanse and change us every day, as the book itself says...
My child, here’s the truth:
From God, you can’t hide
He sees what you’ve done
He knows what’s inside
But please don’t despair
There’s good news, I say!
Whatever you do
God’s grace makes a way
Yes, his grace is enough
It’s so big and so free
His grace is enough
Both for you and for me
This beautiful hardback book makes a great gift for children and even beyond.

Our family loved His Grace Is Enough! In this book, simple truths are taught through an engaging story and beautiful illustrations. After reading it together, our whole family was encouraged to cling to God’s grace. I hope many children and parents are transformed by this powerful message.
These are the truths I want deep in my children’s hearts, as well as my own! With lyrical lines and beautiful illustrations, Melissa explains the concept of grace in a way that’s memorable and easy to understand for children. It’s so catchy, you’ll find yourself chanting the lines all throughout your day.
A delightful way to unpack the grace of God with the kids in your life—it makes deep truths accessible for young and not so young hearts alike.
How can you share with your kids the good news of God’s grace? In His Grace Is Enough, Melissa Kruger shows “how God makes it right when we’ve got it wrong.” Written for ages 3-6, this beautiful hardback book will teach your children the simple truth of God’s grace and forgiveness.
Relatable
What I most appreciated about this book was how relatable it is to children. Lying, cheating, being mean, and hitting are sins we all see in our kids. These are sins we’ve addressed with them before. No matter how hard they try, they can’t hide from God who sees our hearts.
New Hearts
With rhymes and illustrations to help capture the attention and imagination of your kids, this book will help you share the story of God’s grace. It’s a great way to talk about the power of Gods forgiveness with your kids. And by believing in Jesus, we get a new heart like his, full of grace and truth.
I received a media copy of His Grace Is Enough and this is my honest review.
I do love a rhyming book like this, exposing children to the joys of language, as well as providing readers with some memorable verses. This book addresses the challenges to children of what to do and how to react when we get things wrong. That despite our own efforts sometimes to put things right, we can’t really do that properly. We simply need to know that God’s grace is enough for all of us. In fact it is not just children who need to know about this!
This is a lovely book to read to children, to explain to them that making a mistake or doing something wrong, is always forgivable and to help explain the Gospel message … and it has a really cute ending too!
Each pages is accompanied with lovely illustrations by Isobel Lundie, that help to explain the verse and bring the message to life.
Alright, Melissa Krueger's last book made one of my all-time favorite children's book list! (that link is my review in 2020 of Wherever You Go). So I wondered what I would think about her second children's book.
Things I like about the book:
The words rhyme!! there is a great rhythm to enjoy!
The truth about God's grace is communicated clearly, addresses common misconceptions, and is repeated throughout the story.
This is realistic fiction about God's saving grace. It's not boring non-fiction, it's the truth we all need to be communicated to us with these real-life applications applied.
The illustrations are kid-friendly, represent diversity, and are realistic, yet quirky to draw the reader in.
The theme that is repeated, which is another reason I love the book, "God's grace is enough, it's so big and so free, His grace is enough both for you and for me!"
What I wonder:
Why not include a scripture reference? Ephesians 2:8 &9 maybe?
Will the children reading this book look for one main character throughout the book? or will the illustrator's approach with so many children and experiences that resemble ordinary thoughts mean that the readers don't notice? I didn't.
How many parents will memorize this book that I hope will become a classic addition to many family libraries?
Thankful to partner with the goodbook for children publishing and I wonder how many copies I will give away of this new favorite book! This one goes to my favorite children's book list!
