God's Promise to Adam and Eve

The purpose of this book is to awaken within the hearts of children a love for God's holy word. It provides pictures that will bring to life God's story of creation at a young age. The poetic verse is intended to give a unique approach for remembering the story of Adam and Eve while carrying with it a love for God's fulfilled promises. The long-term goal here is to evoke an enthusiasm for incorporating God's word into the life of the reader as he/she grows into adulthood.

One of Theresa's favorite experiences has been teaching children at almost every elementary grade level. She has found the simplicity of children to provide numerous opportunities for sharing various disciplines especially regarding scripture. In her words: "children are an open book which has yet to be written. To feed them God's Word is one of the most precious gifts given her by the Holy Spirit."
