Synopsis "Gageasaurus and the Dino Brakes: A Fruit of the Spirit Story: Self-control (Gageasaurus Fruit of the Spirit Adventures)"
Big feelings can be hard to stop—especially when you really, really want something! In Gageasaurus and the Dino Brakes, Gage is learning all about self-control, the ninth and final quality in the Fruit of the Spirit. From a block tower that won’t cooperate, to an almost-too-loud dinosaur roar at the library, to the most amazing remote-control dinosaur he has ever seen at the store, Gage discovers that feeling mad, frustrated, tempted, or disappointed isn’t the problem. What matters is what he chooses to do next. With help from Grandma, Gage learns a simple tool he can use when his feelings get BIG: STOP. THINK. CHOOSE. By putting on his “Dino Brakes,” Gage learns to pause before his hands, feet, or words take over—and to ask himself, What is a better choice? What would God want me to do? Through warm family moments, relatable childhood struggles, gentle humor, and Scripture-based encouragement, young readers will discover that self-control doesn’t mean being perfect. It means learning, practicing, and allowing God to keep helping us grow. Featuring Galatians 5:22–23, a heartfelt prayer, discussion questions, and a fun “Try It!” activity, this story helps children connect the Fruit of the Spirit to everyday choices they can understand. Gageasaurus and the Dino Brakes is the ninth and final book in the Gageasaurus: Fruit of the Spirit series, bringing together all nine qualities: Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-Control. Perfect for families, Christian classrooms, Sunday school, homeschool, and children learning how to handle big feelings with faith, grace, and growing self-control. Nine BIG lessons. One little dinosaur. And lots more growing still to do!
