Books that Build
Faith & Character
Children are learning from the very first day! Look at the intensity in my then-an-infant daughter’s eyes as I read to her. When my (now-grown) kids were young, I longed for books that would capture their imaginations and build their faith. So I wrote and designed books that would foster the growth of not only their intellect, but of their spirits and hearts as well.
A Book About: Taking Responsibility for Actions & Reconciliation
$9.99
This rhymed tale, with its charming illustrations and lovable characters, will help children learn
- actions have consequences,
- the value of taking responsibility for your actions,
- how to say, “sorry,”
- and the love of a parent.
Based upon Psalm 37:27 & 1 John 1:9.
A Book About: Adoption & the Love of Forever Family
$9.99
In this delightfully illustrated book, two adoptive parents tell their child the story of how God built their family. The parents describe their love, prayers, and desire to welcome home their child. The loving tone, rhyming text, and engaging illustrations can help even young children build a strong, positive understanding of their forever family.
Note from Lisa: We adopted our oldest son (now an adult) when he was four years old. I originally wrote “Welcome Home” as a song (that I sang at his dedication and recorded for him to listen to each night) to help him know and understand the following truths:
- God knows and loves him;
- we love him; and
- God puts people in families.
I pray that this book helps forever families build a solid foundation of love and open communication with their children.
A Book About: God’s Love
$9.99
Help children learn the truths of Ephesians 3:18 – that God’s love is big, deep, wide, and high for all His children!
With easy-to-remember questions & responses like, “How big is God’s love?”-“Sooo BIG!”, this playful rhyming book lends well to hand motions, to help hide God’s truth in kids’ hearts.
Great gift for baby shower, child dedication, Valentine’s Day, or any day for young kids.
