Morning,
While skimming through my Feedly reader this morning the TGC article "Why Suffering Adults Need Children’s Books" under the section Christian Living caught my eye. Seeming a little clickbaitish I got curious and went ahead and gave it a read. The article borders on the ridiculous in my opinion, but before dismissing it entirely I had to seriously wonder who of adult age might actually strengthen their faith by devouring books written for young children. Maybe those who are into adult coloring books? Not sure.
Color me critical, but if this is the advice being given to struggling Christian adults by TGC what does that say about the state of evangelicals in the west? I won't read too much into it, but this growing genre of self-help stuff with fragile fetal-position Christians in mind is a barometer of where we're at in my opinion.
At any rate...perhaps some here would disagree. Either way here's the article to read if interested.

Why Suffering Adults Need Children’s Books
Suffering adults need the ministry of good children’s books. They free us to imagine when the unimaginable threatens our hope.
