With engaging illustrations and beautiful writing, The Day God's Helper Came introduces little Catholics to the story of Pentecost. This story teaches children the power of having a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
After Jesus' death and Resurrection, his followers went into hiding for fear of persecution. Hannah, a young believer in Christ, struggles to overcome the fear of what others have to say about her beliefs.
Despite adversity, Hannah and her family remember the promise Jesus made to them: that he would send a Helper who would encourage and strengthen them.
To the amazement of Hannah and all gathered in the Upper Room, the Holy Spirit descends upon them and replaces their fear with boldness that helps them joyfully proclaim the story of Jesus.
The Day God's Helper Came helps children learn about the Holy Spirit and teaches them how he is at work in their lives through:
- An explanation of where the story of Pentecost is told in the Bible
- Easy-to-understand definitions for each of the fruits of the Holy Spirit
- Inspiring reflection questions that help children ponder their relationship with the Holy Spirit
- A story that reveals the origins and significance of the Sacrament of Confirmation
