About the Book
One day on Christian radio, I heard a minister talking about the ignorance in the Church today. He said they may know the stories of the Bible, but they do not see the big picture. That is what gave me the idea to write God’s Plan beats the devil’s plan. I saw the story as a format upon which all the Bible stories, as well as our lives, are built. Concepts are taught such as: we have a choice to do right or wrong, we can worship or rebel, there are consequences to wrong actions, the devil is competing with God for His creation, Jesus came from heaven to earth and back, and God sometimes says no. I saw the book as something children and adults could read and enjoy together, and also as a witnessing tool. After making copies and sending them to my grandchildren, as well as other relatives and friends who have children, I received enthusiastic responses and suggestions to publish. Children are given stories and pictures about monsters, but we dare not tell them about the devil. Children should know what really happened to cause this world to be the way it is, but God has a plan, and He wins in the end.
