John never really thought about what it meant to have joy. Maybe that was because he had it and didn’t need to think about it. He was a little kid. What did he have to worry about? He had a dad and mom, sisters and brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins…and they all loved him. he was safe, comfortable, didn’t have to worry about anything…yep, I think that’s about as joyful as a kid can get.
But now he was a teenager and his world got turned upside down when his older brother was shot and killed in Afghanistan while on patrol. Sorrow overwhelmed him.
It took a visit from some veterans to his school to turn his sorrow into joy.
I’m a firm believer that God works in the hearts and minds of children just as much as he works in the hearts and minds of adults. And I firmly believe a child can choose to follow Jesus and mean it for the rest of their life. I also believe children are very capable of making this important decision on their own.
We as parents are our children’s primary teachers and we have a responsibility to share Christ with them. Hopefully, this will lead them to accept Jesus as their Savior.
I write my books in the hope that they help children see the greatness in God and that by following him they will truly live a a blessed and wonderful life.
All of my books are written to exemplify a strong Christian Value.
This one is “Joy”
