I think every girl is waiting for her prince to come, rescue her and cherish her forever.  I love how this book shows young ladies how to wait for their prince and how to live her life for the Lord while she's waiting.   I will admit I'm usually one to skip the introduction, I'm so glad I didn't this time.  Here's just a snippet.  "As the bride-to-be stepped up to stand next to her Groom, every negative emotion loosed its grip on her and departed forever.  Every pain that had burrowed its way into her soul disappeared for good. The Prince extended His hand and took hers…."You will never cry again, My love.  Welcome home.""   What a beautiful picture of Christ!!!  This introduction alone moved me to tears.   Sheri Rose Shepherd has really opened up her heart when she wrote this book.  She speaks from her mistakes and triumphs.  Walking away from the Lord and running to Him.  I would encourage this book to every young lad...

We were at the library yesterday trying to find some fun books.   This book just happened to be up on a top shelf and in clear view. Picked it up and flipped through the pages,  then took it over to the boys to see if they were interested.  Indeed they were! This book was such a blessing to our family today. My two older children have gotten into the habit of bickering daily. This story is about a mean circus owner who treats his animals and everyone around him HORRIBLE! As you go through the book, you see how he's made everyone feel and how someone nice can change things. Through this colorful and delightful book we were able to talk about  how we should treat one another and how people feel when you treat them badly. Thank you Chris Van Dusen!   We can't wait to check out some of your other books.
