The Prodigal Penguin

Well, I guess the title of today's post has you saying...Um, Monica, it's the Prodigal SON! True... but there's a new penguin in town and his name is Philip. He lives way up north, where the penguins live, and life just ain't that exciting for him. So he ventures to the big city...and, well, you know the rest!

My dear, sweet friend and Kindergarten Teacher Extraordinaire, Lori Johnson, is now a published author!!! We are sooo proud of her! She is trying to get it in local bookstores and has sent a copy to Lifeway Headquarters! We pray they will love it as much as we do. I believe it will appeal to children of all ages, it is humorous as well as touching.

Being a prodigal son or daughter is probably something most of us can relate to. In our relationships with our earthly parents as well as our Heavenly Father. The truth behind our disobedience is, that when we turn and ask for forgiveness, it is given! We are given a second chance, or a third or fourth! As many chances that we need to find love and healing!

The appeal to children will definitely be that it is understandable. The main character is a penguin for heaven's sake...what child doesn't like penguins? God placed this on Lori's heart when she was on maternity leave with her son, Seth...when she was SUPPOSED to be teaching my daughter, Anna Lauren. But I digress...It has taken her 5 years to get it all together... God's timing... no doubt. But it is perfect, as usual!

If you are interested in a copy, please message me. She will even sign your copy! The cost is $12.00, I don't know about shipping, but I will get that info to you. It is a delightful adaptation of a story we all need to keep in our hearts...the story of true forgiveness!

May you all have a blessed Labor Day...I am sleeping in!!!

Love to all!
Monica
