Customer Reviews

A bedtime favorite

I initially reviewed this on my clowning web site (http://www.clown-ministry.com), so some of this may not be totally germaine -- This is a short children's book (32 pages, hardback) illustrating the various Fruits of the Spirit from Galations 5:22. But what happens when Joy is missing? Joy the clown is the strength of Heartland, and his loss is sorely felt -- but eventually, all is restored, and the thief is washed in the river Grace, with Jesus detergeant (make you "white as snow").Admittedly, this is only tangentially about clowns, but it is an excellent book for children ages 4-8, and has become a favorite bedtime story for my children.
