Bullying is an issue that is grabbing attention nationwide. With high-profile suicide cases making the news, schools, churches and parents are getting involved in helping to tackle this issue that hurts families everywhere.
This week's giveaway for Free for All Friday is Super Luke Faces His Bully by Dr. Jackie C. Cogswell. A family physician and former school teacher, Cogswell took the initiative to write a book about teaching children and families to tackle bullying from a Biblical perspective after her own son became a victim.
Super Luke Faces His Bully is a fun loving adventure spoken straight from the heart of a super-sweet eight-year-old bully victim, Luke Giggleheart. The Word of God is used as a lens to examine some of the issues that can make a person act like either a bully or a victim. During this adventure, Luke, our tender-hearted bully victim, learns about fear, being courageous and getting adults to help, while praying for his enemies.
Read an excerpt!
Getting back to growing pains, my most humongous pain was when Bulldog Jones, the fifth grade bully, decided to be my bully. His real name is Harry, but because he is so mean, kids just call him Bulldog. For some reason, Bulldog didn’t like me. I’m not really sure why. My best friend, Mario Martinez, told me that Bulldog doesn’t need a reason to be mean, his hobby is being MEAN!
Mario once got so scared of Bulldog that he developed a red, itchy rash on his face and arms! Bulldog was so mean that he laughed as Mario scratched his arms over and over like a dog with a fresh case of fleas!
