Levi is prepared and loves a good plan. But as he steps into fourth grade, things aren't going like he thought they would. Things with his parents are changing, things at school are different, and nothing seems fair. What does Levi do when things don't go his way? Can he trust God even when things are out of his control or does he just need a better plan?
"Picture perfect families only exist on Social Media. Real life family life is filled with challenges and disappointments that cause real pain. In this book, you will meet Levi, an elementary school student, learning to navigate the uncertainty of his parent's divorce. Katie provides children and their parents an accessible tool to help process the pain and disappointment of divorce and the accompanying fear. This book isn't about tidy solutions, but powerful redemption as you discover a foundation that can handle the weight of the emotions you feel. And learn that when everything seems out of control, God can handle everything we feel and can be trusted." -Mike Ashcraft
"Parenting is by far the most difficult responsibility any parent will ever have. None of us know what we are doing; we are all novices, always pretending to be in control... until we are not. The great theologian Mike Tyson is right: "Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth." We as parents are no different. What do we do, what do we say, how do we lead and love our children, when realities like death, disease, disaster, and divorce rattle our children to the core of their being? That is why this series by my friend Katie Robinson and the Port City Community Church faith family is an invaluable gift to parents everywhere. This book give language to parents as they navigate difficult topics and the tools we need to step into meaningful conversations that we all will face at some point. Standing ovation Katie and PC3 family! -Stuart Hall s and tough conversations. It's
