Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Gather round and hear the story of the very first Easter Sunday told by someone who was there. A once-great security guard who was the toughest stone on the block. This proud stone thinks he can handle anything. So, he is convinced that guarding the tomb of Jesus Christ, who claimed to be the son of God, will be no problem at all. Will this job prove itself to be an easy task, or will a simple word from heaven prove that some things are out of this stone's control?

What Others Say About This Book:

When God Says Roll is a wonderful and inspiring children's book written by Kale Sudhoff and Pastor Craig Flack who share their faith and life lessons in a way that kids can really connect with. Through their story, they remind readers that even when life is uncertain or scary, God has a plan, and we can trust Him to guide us.

What makes this book so special is that it comes straight from the hearts of two people who have experienced challenges and learned to listen when God says "roll" - meaning to keep moving forward, even when it's hard. The story is simple, honest, and easy to read, making it a perfect book for kids, families, or church groups.

It's a short and meaningful read, filled with encouragement and faith, showing other kids that they're not alone when they face tough times. The message about trusting God no matter what is something that kids - and even adults - can take with them every day.

In short, When God Says Roll is a beautiful reminder for children to keep their faith strong and to always move forward with God by their side. A must-read for young hearts needing hope and inspiration!
