It's nearly Career Day, and 9-year-old Abigail is trying to decide what she wants to be when she grows up. She wants to do something that will make God and everyone else proud, so she decides she will be a missionary police officer—a job that she thinks means behaving perfectly and making sure everyone else does too!
But all her efforts seem to backfire. After some helpful Bible teaching from her loved ones about the story of Paul's conversion, Abigail rethinks what it means to make God proud and to "be good"!
This fun, relatable story will help kids to realize that it’s only through Jesus that we can please ...God. And with the Holy Spirit’s help, they can become more like Jesus and do good works with him.
This is the second book in the Abigail series.

My daughter ~who is also named Abigail ~ loves this series . This book is the great transition from early chapter reader and books for “big kids “ .

I received Abigail and the Career Day Catastrophe compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
Abigail and the Career Day Catastrophe is the second installment in the Abigail series by Bethany McIlrath. In this book, Abigail has to choose a career for her class's Career Day presentation. She wants to figure out which path will help her glorify God the most and learns some encouraging biblical truths along the way.
This middle grade series is sweet and fun, and one of my favorite elements of it is that each book includes all persons of the Trinity. The characters are relatable, and the stories are filled with Scripture. These books are a lovely way to help kids learn deep truths about God.
In this book, 9 year old Abigail is preparing for the upcoming Career Day at her school. She has to decide which career to pursue, and has a hard time committing to just one. As Career Day approaches, she learns that she isn't on her own when it comes to whatever good works she'll do because God is with her. This book is a lovely addition to the Abigail series, and I highly recommend it!

My daughter has come home from the school library with books I'm not thrilled for her to read and some I've had to say no to. I love that I have these books to put in her hands. Books that chapter books and talk about relatable things for her age but from a biblical worldview. She is learning how to be a good friend and how to deal with challenging circumstances with truth of God's love and promises for her. She won't get that from school. She's an avid reader and goes through books quick so I'm hoping The Good ...Book Company continues to put out books like these that I feel good about my daughter reading!
