Customer Reviews

Nice warm fuzzy.

We also read A Brush with Darkness and felt this too is an inspirational book and ideal for an open discussion for children. This is a great book about boundries, about our ultimate purpose in life, about friendship and change. A marvelous artist tells a story that should be a lesson to all of us.

Made For A Purpose

This is a heartwarming story of C.J. whose spirit blossoms as she learns the values of friendship, forgiveness, and cooperation. The discussion questions following the story were stimulating and easily facilitate conversations with children. This is a good read for both children and adults.

A treasure for my children!

My husband and I used Purpose Driven Life to facilitate discussions between us about our spiritual goals as a couple. This book was a wonderful vehicle that allowed us to foster those same kind of life-directing conversations with our little girl. I would highly recommend this book to any parents that were touched by The Purpose Driven Life.

Outstanding Children's Book

This was one of the most engaging stories for children, or even adults that I have ever read. It presented a character whom was searching for God -given identity. It showed how Christian playmates helped shape her life. The iluustrations were fun--I think this book would appeal to all ages. mmpento@hotmail.com

Wonderful for children!

Dandi Daley Mackall has written another wonderful book for children. The storyline is simple enough that my 4 year old is able to understand the important lessons in the book. The discussion questions at the end of the story will allow for more in-depth conversations with older readers. We also enjoy the illustrations in this story!
