I might have to get a cousin to bring it over! Stinky shepherds will go down well here with my 9yr old. I’m taking my copy of The Mystics to Norwich next weekend as I walk in Julian’s footsteps, or just marvel at her life! Keep on keeping on x

Yes! This sharing of theology and the forming of the faith-imagination SO critical right now. And congrats on the publishing! NOT easy to be published in the Christian publishing sphere!

Congrats, Shannon! On the book and the high kindergartener praise! This boy mom, who is now in the "older children have given me nothing" stage, has a couple of younger nephews that will love this Bible. Thanks for keeping it real, and entertaining, in high quality religious content and your sharing of real life.

Oh this is very cool! So grateful for all the folks out there who are rethinking what we teach our kids about God and making new resources for it.

I have a child or two in mind! As an early childhood educator, and an Episcopalian, I appreciate people who are very careful about the stories...

This is fantastic! We got Little People (as in, Fisher Price Little People) Story of Christmas as a gift, and while cute, I tend to change some of the words when reading it to my 20-month-old daughter. Mainly I change that Gabriel was asking, not telling. 🙄
