Teaching Love with Faith

"My grandson is never tired to hear this story. He always asks to read it again and again and again. It’s a Lovely story. I bought this book ‘A prayer from the Heart’ for my 4 year old grandson. He sits on his parents bed and with his mum and dad they say prayers every night before they go to sleep. so my grandson really liked the story in the book by Tammy Fernando, because he realized that loving God brings us a lot of joy every single minute of our life."

Lost Child Finds Comfort

"This is a sweet picture book with beautifully engaging illustrations. Young Chris is not sure about going on the hike with his family. But he grudgingly agrees to go and is soon intrigued by the playful squirrels. But, before he knows it, he’s lost in the woods. He’s scared but he’s not alone. The Holy Trinity is there with him, protecting him, encouraging him, and comforting him. This book is a great visual aid to help children understand the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and how they are always with us."
