The Story Behind the Story...
“This book was birthed from a story-poem I wrote years ago for a children’s program. For a long time, it sat unfinished, until one day I heard the Lord whisper, ‘Finish it.’ He reminded me of the gifts and writings I had been holding onto, and that was the spark that brought this book to life.”
