Gus Loses His Grip is a charming, gospel-centered story that helps young children understand temptation and learn to turn to Jesus for help.

When Gus the raccoon’s love of sweets leads him into trouble, he discovers what can happen when a good desire becomes too strong. With gentle guidance from Papa, children see that temptation is real, but they also learn the comforting truth that Jesus is stronger and ready to help when we struggle to say no.

Part of the Good News for Little Hearts series for ages three to eight, this beautifully illustrated book pairs a relatable animal story with practical biblical encouragement for everyday life. With a parent resource section and a tear-out page of Back Pocket Bible Verses, it gives families simple tools to start meaningful conversations and apply God’s Word when temptation comes.
