Living according to Christ’s example will help children distinguish between right and wrong. It will teach them to make good decisions and take responsibility for their actions. Sammy J. Carter addresses this topic clearly and engagingly in Unstoppable Love! The book begins by explaining that God has planted a seed inside each of our hearts. If it is cared for, it will grow and produce the Fruit of the Spirit. This fruit is what creates a connection with God, one that grows stronger by helping others through both words and actions. In addition, the author shares the idea that, when the Spirit fills our hearts and we share that love, we can improve everything around us.

I loved Sammy J. Carter’s narrative style. Using simple language and short sentences, this book explains useful concepts that will help children throughout their lives.

For example, it explains that, during moments of anxiety or difficult days, thinking about God can help ease worries and teaches that friends sometimes make mistakes and that forgiveness is important to preserve a friendship. Also, it highlights positive values by explaining that kindness means caring for others and that compassion means helping those in need.
