    Pre-Orders Open for The Dreamer

    God is so great everyone must know and worship Him (Isa. 49:6). But how can our kids participate in God's global plan?

    That question paired with Isaiah 49:6, propelled me to write To the Ends: The Dreamer. I'm excited to announce this chapter book is now available for pre-order.

    As a former overseas worker, I wanted to engage my kids with God's mission around the world. But finding resources to teach kids about missions can be sparse or lacking creativity.

    These books failed to showcase how God is uniquely at work in different lands. And they didn't captivate my kids' imaginations and hearts.

    That's why I wrote The Dreamer. To introduce young readers to people in different countries through fiction. For kids to meet characters on the pages of a book that cracked the door open into other cultures.

    I want kids to catch the vision for their role in missions: prayer.
