Bigger

Playing the doctor game and riding horses sounds like fun, until people do things to Alex that make her feel uncomfortable. Keeping these secrets stores up confusion, sadness, and anger at those who were supposed to be her friends. From childhood to adulthood, Alex's feelings are bigger than she can handle. With the help of a counselor and using her God-given imagination, she faces the ultimate choice of whether to forgive and let go of hatred. Or not. Through Alex's journey, older children and teens are invited to reflect on their own capacity for forgiveness and the profound freedom that comes with letting go of the weight of hatred. In a world that often demands strength, Bigger teaches us that true strength lies in the ability to forgive and find peace within yourself-- if and when the time is right for you. Bigger is based on a true story. This book is not a substitute for professional counseling but may be useful in therapeutic settings.
