J. Shockley had the desire to explore ways of encouraging and inspiring his daughter and other kids her age to love God. It began when he and his daughter were reading the book Fablehaven and praying together each evening. Listening to her and a few of her friends talk and hearing how their little minds work, he longed to have the Bible come alive for them in practical and meaningful ways. The idea that transpired was to pull perspectives from a slew of knowledgeable and Godly men and hopefully spark an interest inside the young men and women that could carry over to their adult lives.
Hearing from some of those individuals and having them speak about life, the Word of God, conceptual illustrations, and sharing theories and insights, J. believes that in pooling the combination of thoughts together, it will do nothing short of "knocking it out of the park."
From that point, he set out to get answers, to record the questions that kids have (simple and complex, about whatever pricked their interests), and put them in front of individuals who were willing to share their hearts and minds with us.
The prayer is that you, as the reader, will love it!
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. (Proverbs 15:22)
How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver! (Proverbs 16:16)
