Conquering Your Goliaths: A Parable of the Five Stones Review

We listened to Conquering Your Goliaths: A Parable of the Five Stones on Audible. The children really enjoyed listening.  Ms. Virginia Bean's adventure was endearing, fun, and thought provoking.  Author Kathryn Elizabeth Jones touched on several difficult topics in a precious and delicate way.

Through 7 delightful chapters, you journey with Ms. Virginia Bean as she is given 5 smooth stones, like David in the Bible. With each stone, she learns what her personal Goliaths are and how to overcome them.  The stones are surprisingly not what I would have thought.  Nothing about this story seemed to go the way I thought it would.

Chapter 8 is an appendix of notes, thoughts and simple quotes.  These would be GREAT journaling prompts! This is a nice story for anyone at any age.  ...A wonderful family read!  (or listen... The reading is done perfectly!)
