Author Georgia McCain provides a diverse collection of stories, enjoyable by readers of all ages, that is targeted to inspire children to a Christian path. The stories demonstrate that God is the only path to joy, peace, satisfaction, and a useful happy life, as well as eternal salvation.
This collection comes from many different sources, including books, church bulletins / periodicals, ministers, religious leaders, and ordinary people. Stories are included for well-known leaders, including Salvation Army Leader Co-Founder Catherine Booth (Catherine Booth's Childhood), Hymnal Author Fanny Crosby (Little Blind Fanny Crosby), and even President Abraham Lincoln (Abe Lincoln's First Letter). Several came from the personal experiences of the author, her family, and friends. Many of the ageless stories came from the early 1900's and the 1800's. A short unique “cookbook” is even included from a group of first graders.
The following is excerpted from the Preface:
In Luke 18:16-17, we read, "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily, I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.'''
Precious children! In Psalm 127:3 we read, "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord" -- Blessed thought! Do we treat them as such, training them in the way they should go as Proverbs 22:6 admonishes us to do? How much time do we spend with our children, instructing, teaching, correcting, leading -- and always setting the right example? Do we take time to read to them stories that will enrich their little minds, inspire them to live right, mold their lives for the future? How often do we pray for and with them?
For some time now, God has been speaking to my heart about writing and compiling a book especially for our children and grandchildren; one that can be read in family devotions and other quiet times together. A book that will instill within their hearts the fact of God's never-ending love for them; how His ear is open to their entreaties, how He watches over them and guards them from harm and danger, how He is willing to save their soul -- even the very young -- and how God can keep them from sin's alluring paths.
May God use this little book for His glory and for the edification of our young ones, as well as for the older ones. Trust all will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
