Previously published as Problem Solvers of the Bible: Lessons in Resilience and Critical Thinking by Divanny Rodriguez Lugo.What can Joseph teach children about preparing before a crisis? What does Moses reveal about asking for help? How can Esther help children understand courage, timing, and speaking up? And what does Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan actually teach about neighbor-love and mercy?Problem Solvers of the Bible helps parents, Christian educators, homeschool families, and children’s ministry leaders turn biblical narratives into thoughtful conversations about the real problems children face.Rather than reducing Bible stories to simple moral slogans, this revised and expanded second edition helps children ask better questions:What is really happening?What do I know, and what am I assuming?Who can help?What choices do I have?What might happen next?What would be wise, truthful, safe, responsible, and loving?At the center of the book is the WISE Method:W — What Is Happening?I — Identify What MattersS — Seek WisdomE — Evaluate and ChooseReflect — Learn From What Happens NextThrough carefully developed lessons on Joseph, Moses, David, Esther, Nehemiah, Ruth, Job, Solomon, Abram, and Jesus’ teaching, children explore resilience without forced positivity, courage without recklessness, planning and preparation, facts versus assumptions, asking for help, forgiveness and safety, compassion, and learning from mistakes.Activities are differentiated for K–2 and Grades 3–5, making the book useful for family Bible study, homeschool, Christian classrooms, Sunday school, and children’s ministry.Children cannot be prepared for every problem they will face. They can learn habits that help them respond with greater wisdom, faith, courage, compassion, and care. Read more
