Summary:
When Jody breaks her mother's special cookie jar, she feels horrible but is even more afraid of telling the truth. When she studies God's commandment 'Thou shalt not lie' during devotion time, she begins to feel badly about lying, and another Bible story leaves Jody completely conflicted. Will Jody tell the truth or keep her lie quiet? Find out in I Cannot Tell a Lie.
My Review:
This is a great faith-based book to pick up and share with your children about not telling a lie. Jody mistakenly breaks a family heirloom cookie jar and tries to put the blame on her siblings. But, the lie began to eat her up inside and that night she had bad dreams. Not being able to continue the lie, she breaks down and tells her mother that she was the one who broke the cookie jar, and was so sorry for lying. Her mother thanked her for telling the truth, and said that she had to apologize to Jesus for lying and ask for forgiveness. They both knelt down and Jody prayed for forgiveness and the strength to not tell another lie.
I loved the illustrations in the book, especially the half eaten cookies shown on each page. This is an easy to read book and a great teaching tool to use with your children when teaching them not to lie.
About the Author:

Book Review by Heavensent1
I Cannot Tell A Lie is a morally inspired story about lying using a Christian slant to help model the correct response to a situation that involves the truth from being told. The illustrations are colourful and engaging and each page has half eaten cookies upon it to remind the reader the underlying principle of the story.
After Jody breaks her mothers special cookie jar, she is devastated and decides to lie to her mother about her involvement. When her mother questions Jody about the broken cookie jar, Jody points the blame on her sister. After a family devotional on which the scripture studies were about God's commandment "Thou Shalt not lie", Jody is left feeling confused and upset. She doesn't like how she feels and she doesn't know what she should do to make it better. Turning to God through prayer, Jody asks for help in her choices...will Jody learn from her mistakes?? Or will she ignore the bad feeling inside her and let the lie get bigger?
