Friends

By Albina Peters

This book is a selection of poetry based on Bible stories as well as some new poems recently inspired by the Holy Spirit, all designed to stimulate the interest of the young at heart.

I imagine parents reading to their children at bedtimes; I picture this being recited at campfires and Sunday school classes. To ensure that gentle hearts remain sincere, here is another example of God's care to preserve welfare in a world where reliability is needed.

To keep our young ones safe in the faith, this book paints a picture of a secure future with a friendship with a God who is everywhere and cares anywhere for everyone. These expressions display that fact that Jesus is there, with friendly unconditional love, even when other loved ones are absent to care. This unction also encourages scripture investigations as expressed in this play of rhymes.

Jesus has always been friendly. He said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not send them away." God inspired this book to say that he is indeed help in time of need--a friend of the holy, lonely, unruly, or bully. It can even be said that he can be even closer than a brother, a best friend forever.
