OverviewShare your light with the world. Hey. Hey you! Yes, you! I've got a question for you: Have you ever gotten a really great present from someone who loves you? And then . . . you realize that if you share that gift, it is even better than you thought? Author Natalie Frisk introduces 12 Jesus followers who discovered their gifts and shared them with the world. These inspirational figures--from history through today--all found strength in their Anabaptist faith. Some used their gift to share about Jesus through preaching, peace clubs, and podcasts. One person used her love of biology to teach others about the amazing world that God created. With vivid, compelling art by María Diaz Perera, the Anabaptist stories of Conrad Grebel, Helena von Freyberg, Christoph Sauer, Tunggul Wulung, Anna Mow, Edna Ruth Byler, Alta Schrock, Lawrence Homer Hart / Sky Chief, Paulus Hartono, Issa Ebombolo, Kate Bowler, and Drew G. I. Hart come to life! When we discover our gifts from God, it is like a light flips on inside us. This light can change the world! Suggested reading for ages 5-9.

She earned a master's in theological study (biblical studies) and is pursuing a doctorate in practical theology with an emphasis on the spiritual experience of children. While she was the curriculum pastor for a multisite church, Natalie published Raising Disciples: How to Make Faith Matter for Our Kids (Herald Press, 2019). She is now director of curriculum for RaiseUpFaith as she continues doing what she loves: content developing, team building, and pastorally nurturing the souls of whomever she encounters. María Diaz Perera was born in Gijón, a small seaside town in northern Spain. When she was very young, she found that there were few things that she enjoyed as much as listening to The Beatles and drawing. She graduated with a degree in art history, and soon after that she studied graphic design. María has worked as a freelance illustrator for several international publishers, magazines, and advertising agencies, and she loves to work on portraits and children's books. She is inspired by '60s and '70s music, literature, and cinema, and she loves to spend time with family and friends. She still listens to The Beatles and feels fortunate to make a living doing what she loves most--illustration. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
