The Broken Arm

God Is Near When It Hurts

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

It happened in a second — a fall, a crack, and suddenly there's a cast, a sling, and a long list of things you can't do. This gentle book walks with a boy through the whole journey: the doctor's office, the itchy cast, the friends who sign it, the slow weeks of rest — and the God who is near when it hurts, who works through doctors and time and care, and who hears every small prayer from the couch. For every child who is hurting and healing, and everyone who loves them.

Written for children ages 6–12, this book has ten chapters, each with three illustrations (30 in all) and a "Do" activity and a "Pray" prayer to close. All Scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV). It ends with a Gospel Invitation that helps a child understand how to begin following Jesus, plus a note for grown-ups.
