Third Book in Beth Guckenberger's Storyweaver Series Releases
Contact: Stephanie Woeste, 513-728-6799

CINCINNATI, Jan. 28, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- What hope will four Indian girls find after their father abandons them? How will an unwanted boy in Guatemala find the grace to give to someone with less? How will God find a family for the last girl left in a Haitian orphanage? How will a parentless boy in Kenya find a way to help others like himself? How will an abandoned girl in Mexico answer a strong calling after losing her way?

Written for ages 8 and up, Tales of the Ones Led Out presents a simple picture of the way God intervenes on behalf of orphaned and abandoned children throughout the world, and is the third release in the Storyweaver Series by Beth Guckenberger and Standard Publishing. Its predecessors, Tales of the Not Forgotten (Standard Publishing, 2012) and Tales of the Defended Ones (Standard Publishing, 2013) have helped teachers, mentors, and families have meaningful conversations about the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of children growing up in poverty -- needs such as clean water, education, and security.

"Beth's stories continue to amaze me -- they're so genuinely shared from her heart and experiences. They demonstrate that those with so little, facing the biggest hardships, often have the strongest faith," says Stephanie Woeste, Vice President of Marketing for Standard Publishing.

"Tales of the Ones Led Out comes from the promise God made to his children in the book of John. This loving Shepherd has his eye on every one of the 163,000,000 fatherless and it was a privilege to share the stories of five of them. Join us on this journey of discovering how God loves us," says author Beth Guckenberger.

To extend the message in this series, Standard Publishing recently released the Kids Serving Kids™ missions-focused curriculum, based on Tales of the Not Forgotten. This resource provides churches with six sessions to help teach children and families about the importance of mission, and how easy it is to get involved.

These resources can be purchased anywhere Christian books are sold including www.standardpub.com, www.christianbook.com and www.amazon.com.
