The Storybook Tree - For the Young and Young at Heart

About this book

This little book is a mixture of Christian-based tales and poems, some enchanting, some humorous and some profoundly moving. Each is aimed at a different age group and may be used as a reading for Sunday School classes. There are lessons on how to listen to the usually silent voices of God's creation, how to recognize the work of guardian angels, and how the Holy Spirit is at work in our world today. One story depicts a group of teenagers on a scavenger hunt who discover more than one kind of treasure. Another is a coming-of-age tale about a frightened fawn, and one more, a fairy tale, offers an alternative to the usual happily-ever-after ending. The final selection, the most compelling of all, is a story that speaks profoundly to the root origins of the tragic events that occurred at the Emmanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17, 2015. The reader will be moved or enlightened or entertained by this charming assortment of tales and poems.
