A Better Ending and Other Short Stories for Boys and Girls

Caleb desperately wants a cat, but his mother is allergic to them. When a stray cat show ups at the house, Caleb can’t resist taking care of it—despite his mother’s sneezing! Hopes are dashed when Caleb’s father explains to him that he cannot expect God to always answer his prayers in the way he wants. Yet a surprising twist in the story makes Caleb eventually realize that “God does answer prayer, in His own time and in His own way.” A Better Ending is a collection of short stories and poems that take place at home, in school, across the world, and in out own back yards. Each story has a theme that encourages readers to reflect on their own hearts and lives as the relate to God’s Word.

“Children learn from stories that spark their imagination and help them see the world through other people’s eyes. In this delightful book by Doreen Tamminga, young readers will meet other children in situations that are both varied and close to every child’s experience. By entering into the characters’ thoughts in a way that is only possible through Scripture. Interspersed with uplifting poems based on God’s Word, the book abounds with words of comfort, encouragement, and trust in a God who is always near to help and ready to forgive.” Simonetta Carr, author the Christian Biographies for Young Readers Series
