Faith Makes Me Brave

Inspired by Romans 8:35, 37-39

This book is an eye-opening global ode, as it confronts some of the many forms of suffering. It is reassuring, heartwarming, and relatable across generations. It speaks to present experiences personally and in familial gatherings and to crises on a state, national, and international level, and it is for children. It can be viewed as futuristic and preparatory in the mind and heart of a Christian, and for all who read it, to live out its truths requires faith.

In a world that has succumbed to present-day fears, attempting to disrupt the ebb and flow of nations, states/countries, families, and the lives of individuals, we discover that the opposite of fear is not courage. Courage amid such dangerous, even life-threatening tempters could breed carelessness and regrettably folly. We provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for men, women, and children to be able to face these societal attackers, but what if we were able to do away with the fear connected to these attackers altogether? We must educate our kids, encouraging them to believe that love can and will overcome the onslaught of all adversity. We must teach our kids about love, its impact on their lives, and its implementation when reaching out to fearful generations.

Through the use of biblical scriptures on love, revelatory knowledge, and life experiences, this work commenced. Next, by combining key scriptural passages relevant today and always, then adding language and illustrations, this simple book was compiled. This uniquely remains heavily reliant upon its nonnarrative biblical text/verses and places images with those verses to communicate to children in a first-person, declarative fashion. It is the hope that truth can be placed behind the often-naive fearlessness of children and that when faced with trying circumstances that life will bring, their faith and hope would be in Christ alone.
