Produktbeschreibung

Join author Becky Christine Martin on three heartwarming, faith-building adventures in her inspiring new children's collection, Safe with God. Through gentle storytelling and relatable family moments, each story helps young readers understand the depth of Jesus' love, forgiveness, and protection in everyday life. In The Most Beautiful Dress, little Magdalena has finally grown big enough to fit into the special white dress her mother lovingly made for her. But as she celebrates her birthday, she also discovers that she has done some not-so-good things-hurting feelings, disobeying, and making mistakes that leave her feeling ashamed and discouraged. Her day feels ruined until Dad shares a life-changing lesson about Jesus' Robe of Righteousness-the beautiful, perfect life Jesus gives to each of us to cover our sins. Through this memorable story, children learn that Jesus' forgiveness is a precious gift meant for everyone, and that no mistake is too big for His love to cover. In The Unwanted Guest: Covid in the Hands of Jesus, readers walk alongside Hannah, her family, and the residents of a nursing home as an unexpected visitor-Covid-brings fear, uncertainty, and illness. Yet even in the middle of a pandemic, the story reveals how Jesus brings hope, help, and healing in ways both seen and unseen. As the family prays, sends cards, and shares Bible truths with those who are lonely or afraid, children witness the power of prayer, compassion, and God's comforting care during difficult times. This story gently reassures young readers that Jesus is present in every trial and that His hands are always working for good. Finally, in the title story Safe with God, children meet energetic Benjamin as he explores the outdoors, faces sudden storms, wrestles with fears, and discovers what it truly means to be protected by God. Whether Benjamin is jumping in puddles, encountering frightening weather, navigating disagreements, or comforting others, he learns that God is stronger than anything he faces. Through conversations with his family and powerful Bible verses, Benjamin comes to understand that God is like a safe and mighty castle-always surrounding His children with strength, love, and protection. Together, these three stories offer young readers, pre-teens, families, and classrooms a beautiful introduction to important spiritual truths: God forgives us, God is with us, and God keeps us safe. Filled with warmth, Christian teachings, and heart-touching moments, Safe with God encourages children to trust in Jesus through every joy, challenge, and change they encounter. Perfect for family devotions, bedtime reading, Sunday school, Christian education, or simply sharing the love of Jesus at home. These faith-filled, action-packed stories will inspire children to grow in their relationship with God, understand His promises, and discover the comfort of being forever safe in His loving arms.

Autorenporträt

Becky Christine Martin was born in Midland, Michigan, in 1958 and grew up in a lively Christian home with five sisters and two brothers. Her parents gave all the girls the middle name Christine and the boys Christian to remind them that their identity in Christ matters most. From family hymn-singing to cozy winter evenings reading by the fireplace, Becky's childhood overflowed with faith, music, books, and love.She fondly recalls birthday celebrations ending with her father reading Psalm 139-her cherished "Birthday Psalm"-a tradition that made God's Word deeply personal. With a pastor for a father and a musically talented mother who played organ and directed the church choir, Becky grew up in an environment rich in creativity and devotion. Her parents also taught valuable life lessons about sharing, forgiveness, and kindness. Her mother taught all the children piano, sewed their Christmas and Confirmation dresses, baked delicious Christmas coffeecakes, and modeled a joyful life of service.Becky always loved stories, both reading and telling them. Childhood favorites like Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, and the Laura Ingalls Wilder books helped inspire her passion for teaching. She later taught in a parochial school, guiding students in a multi-grade classroom.Today, Becky works at a home for senior citizens, serving meals, visiting residents, and brightening their days with warm conversation. Though retired, she continues to help whenever needed. She also serves in a church ministry that reaches people with special needs through Bible lessons, songs, crafts, and snacks-a time of joy and connection.Becky enjoys playing piano and violin, embroidering baby blankets, and writing stories that share the love of Jesus. She wrote The Most Beautiful Dress to teach children how Jesus covers our sins with His robe of righteousness, and Safe with God to help them understand that Jesus is with them in every situation. Covid in the Hands of Jesus reminds children that He remains present even in frightening or uncertain times.Her deepest desire is for children to know Jesus as their Savior and friend. Whether they feel lonely, afraid, or unsure, Becky hopes her stories assure them that Jesus is stronger than anything they face-and that He will never leave them.Becky Christine Martin lives in Michigan, where she continues to enjoy her hobbies, meaningful work, and time with loved ones.
