Listening to the stories it holds being read to me by my Dad before bed, it really has had a massive impact on my life. Even now, with two young boys myself, I find them often pulling books from our shelves that are religious in their material. Maybe it's a parable with pictures that someone … Continue reading Our children are our future
I really flipping enjoyed this book. It feels like it is written for older children or young adults and I am not gonna lie, I think that's a really good thing.
