# Book Trailer: Dear God, I Don't Get It

Aug 15, 2011 8:28:59 PM  |  by [Lisa M. Hendey](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/lisa-m-hendey)

![](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Dear-God-I-Dont-Get-It.jpg?width=200&height=322&name=Dear-God-I-Dont-Get-It.jpg "Dear God I Don't Get It")Congratulations to our friend and CatholicMom.com contributor Patti Maguire Armstrong on the release of the brand new book trailer for her wonderful children's book [*Dear God, I Don't Get It*!](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982122233/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=catholicmomcom&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=0982122233) The video shows a great overview of this special picture book, which is perfect for the special schoolchildren in your life. Here's a blueprint for the book:

> *["Dear God, I don't get it!"](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982122233/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=catholicmomcom&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=0982122233)* is the perfect story for 3rd through 6th grade Catholic kids and classrooms with excellent writing, vocabulary and thinking activities incorporated at the end of the book. It combines a great story with age-appropriate apologetics and is endorsed by best-selling authors Emily and Jeff Cavins as well as Bishop Zipfel. Mary Kochan, Senior Editor of Catholic Exchange and homeschooler endorses "Dear God, I don't get it!" and explains, "Sixth-grader, Aaron Ajax is happily comfortable, with not much more than the annoyances of a little brother to disturb him and he takes his friendship with God for granted. When a sudden change in family circumstances uproots him from the home and friends he has known his whole life, Aaron wonders what has happened to his relationship with God. Through this true-to-life story we follow the journey of a young boy coming to grips with a lesson we all need - that real friendship with God means God is in charge."

I hope you enjoy the book trailer and consider treating your family to Patti's wonderful book as we prepare to start a new school year.
