Description
Have you ever thought that God has too many important things on His mind to be concerned about you? Has the devil tried to make you think that you have to set your goals based on the opinions of others? Have you been pressured into being someone you're not, therefore watering down or forgetting your dreams? Have you ever lost a friend to a deceitful person, or made a friend from an enemy? Have you and your friend gotten into just a little bit of trouble together? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this book is for you. The boys in these stories face these issues, and they learn to rely on God's grace instead of luck. They find that true deliverance comes through believing in God and His faith in them. God's faith in them leads them to believe in themselves even when others don't. Craig's home has always been in North Alabama. During his teen and adult life he has carried a soft spot in his heart for children. He has worked with children in his church and beyond since the age of thirteen. These experiences have led to his writing of short stories for children. He loves to see children smile and enjoy life. He longs to encourage them in any way he can. He believes they are a gift, and so is life. Craig gave his life to Jesus in 1979 when he was nine years old. He graduated high school in 1988 and college in 1995. He began writing seriously in 1998. In 2000 He began a course in writing for children from the Institute of Children's Literature. He completed it in February of 2002. Craig currently has 23 short stories, all of which are compiled in this book.
