What People Are Saying
"Great Christian Message"
Just finished reading Tim Kostilnik's new book, "I Hate Myself". Like his earlier book, "I'm So Angry", it presents a faith-based message that is educational and inspiring, as well as entertaining for young people. Parents and teachers will find it a valuable tool in instilling Christian values. Kids will find the characters likable and relatable. Looking forward to his next book in this series.

Although a children’s book, all ages can benefit from reading it. Honest and real situations that are easy to understand, and explained in a way that makes you smile. Beautifully written with a beautiful message. Looking forward to the next one!

"Pleased with my purchase"
I bought these books for the children in my life. After reading the book myself, I even learned new ways to cope with anger. The book is insightful and an enjoyable read. The discussion questions and modern references were up to date. The scripture incorporated was great too.

"Applicable life lessons for all presented in a fun, educational manner!"
Such an enjoyable read and can’t wait to pick up the next book in the God’sCool series! Great reminders for all of us in dealing with everyday situations and trying to apply Biblical principles to everything that we say and do and think. Loved Grandpa Sol’s emphasis on a person’s character overshadowing their reputation. Very well written!

"Powerful Message for All"
Love the way this message of how to handle anger is delivered for all to read! It is obvious that the author has had experience in teaching this message to his students. I bought this book to give to my daughter and her family to share together - I have a grandson who has just turned 10 and one who is 15 - but I also enjoyed this Godly message myself. It is certainly a message to be read by everyone.
