Gotta Give It To God

A Rochelle St. John Ruiz Title

In Gotta Give It To God!, author Rochelle St. John Ruiz poetically weaves common childhood challenges into a lesson about exchanging difficult feelings for peace, by giving them to God.

Like when the milk spills at breakfast, or when I cannot tie my shoe, or when I get my clothes stuck on my head, and I can’t get my arms through! UGH! I gotta give it to God!

Artist Pennie Mirande uses a variety of colors and splats of paint to communicate how swirly and messy feelings can be, then illustrates the transformative beauty only God can bring.

Families will enjoy reading through this helpful book that touches on feelings like frustration, sadness, and irritation, all while guiding them toward a healthy response of giving them to God.
