Exciting News! I wrote a book!





I have been busy finishing a publication. It is interactive doctrinal children’s book. The book is finally finished. What a miracle!  It is titled, God’s Plan: Book 1 of the True Doctrine Series. Writing this series has been a labor of love and after seven years in the making I can’t believe it is finally ready! 


For those of you who are interested here is a little background; For years I longed to helped overwhelmed parents, new members, single-parents, part-member families, grandparents, aunts, uncles and really anyone who want to help their little loved ones learn the basic doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These doctrines are vital to spiritual safety and are the basic building blocks of scripture. 


My experience teaching in the Seminary and Institute gave me pause to think how nice it would be if younger children were given greater exposure to these basic life-changing doctrines. Knowing these concepts were complicated and sometimes intimidating, I sought to make them simple to teach and understand. So I got to work motivated with the thought, “when children better understand that God loves and watches over them their anxieties about life will ease.” As for myself, I took great comfort in the scripture, “If ye are in prepared ye shall not fear (see D&C 38:30).” 


Having a master’s in Religious Education, I knew about teaching these concepts to the youth with different learning styles. This book is simple enough that children ages eight to twelve can learn unassisted. Whether your child is a visual, auditory or hands-on learner, they will all be able to benefit from its illustrations, music, and guided experiences. Much like the method of learning a foreign language, I have created this book to be a doctrinal immersion experience. I know this method works because I taught, using it for years. This book will help these truths more easily unfold in the minds and hearts of your children. 


The Kindle Version of my book is now available on Amazon for ONLY $2.99! You won’t regret giving your young children a way of learning the priceless truths of The Godhead, The Plan of Salvation, and The Atonement of Jesus Christ. These three doctrines are foundational as well as crucial building blocks for children as they begin their quest to know God better. 


I would be so ungrateful if I didn’t mention that I had some amazing help compiling this book. This help came from people who really care about children and love the gospel! Major contributors were Leon Parson, my cover artist, Kelly Donovan created over 40 illustrations inside, Shawna Edwards wrote the music, and I have forewords from Susan Easton Black and Robert L. Millet endorsing our efforts. I am positive this book will help all those who are concerned with the important work of helping the next generation build their testimony on the pure doctrine of Christ. So check it out my ebook for just $2.99, or order a beautiful hardback book for just under $30.00. Either way you’ll be glad you did!
