The Adventures of the Time Reporters
This book (176 pages, paperback), written by
brother Steve Wilson, would make an ideal gift for a child aged 8-11
It tells the story of a Sunday School class in a fictional(!)
ecclesia. The room where they meet contains the entrance to a
time tunnel, which enables the children to travel back in time so that
they can observe at first hand the events in this week's lesson.
The challenge they face is to achieve what nobody has managed
previously: to complete the newspaper that describes their
travels. More details here.

Why
do Bad Things Happen? Leaflet
This leaflet deals with the problem of suffering.
