Overview

Daisy: Walk Like Jesus by Deanna Jones is about Christian living. This is book 1 of the series. God seems to have certainly blessed Daisy Ridel. She's happy, her faith is strong and her countenance oozes empathy. Always down to help, Daisy supports drunks and druggards in her daily life, buying groceries, baking desserts and cooking healthy, fulfilling meals for children who need a little love. There is nothing Daisy won't do to help a stranger in need, even if it means she is continuously broke. However, despite this, she is friendless. Her social life then takes a turn for the better in her tenth grade year of high school. Free, volunteer tutor sessions are the start of a deep, lifelong friendship between Daisy and the bad boys of school - something no one expected even with all the clichés about the good girl and bad boy. Daisy was innocent, is still innocent and now she's helping suffering, hopeless souls regain that innocence-by showing them that even if most people can't see the world through rose tinted glasses, she does and will always see the best in people because hope never dies. Hope may not be rushing through veins, burning to get out but it is an ember and all an ember needs is a flame-and Daisy Ridel is this small town's flickering flame of hope.

"""Daisy: Walk Like Jesus is a stunning portrayal of a young woman whose heart is filled with the Love of God that overflows in thought, word and action to each person that she encounters. The characters that Daisy loves & serves are raw & authentic, faced with heartbreaking suffering, and I found myself wanting to keep reading to listen to more of their stories. Deanna Jones has written a book that gives us a glimpse into the mystery of woman, a true expression of what St. Pope John Paul II called 'The Feminine Genius'. Daisy shines as a bright light in a world of darkness revealing in us the truth that it only takes one person walking in the love of Jesus to liberate prisoners and set captives free."" Mr. Constantine Kolitsos, Alberta, Canada ""Everyone, and especially every Christian whether Catholic or not, should read DAISY to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be a committed disciple of Jesus in the real world. This book can change people who are lukewarm for Jesus into people who are red-hot for Him."" Fr. Joseph R. Jacobson, Catholic priest and former Lutheran bishop ""Makes you stop in your tracks and say-I've been here. Keeps you turning pages to see if Daisy will do better, or if you can rely on her Humanness to build a bridge to God for you. It reminds me to pray, enduring the darkness until God shines his eternal flame."" Leanna Flooren Deanna's twin ""Daisy is an inspiring and striking example of living the little way of love in a broken world. Giving hope to the idea that it is possible to be in the world but not of it. A beacon of light for all those who suffer, teaching them that it is redemptive and not cause for despair. This book has pierced my heart, and challenged me to love deeply, never counting the cost."" Elise Stang Student at St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission "
