$3 Worth of God

Written by

This illustration from Wilbur Rees brilliantly expresses (and exposes) what a lot of us have been thinking:

I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please, not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine.

I don’t want enough of Him to make me love a black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not transformation; I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth.

I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please.

-Wilbur Rees, “$3.00 Worth of God”

Do I REALLY want all that God has to offer? Do you?

The Boy Who Changed The World

Written by

The Boy Who Changed The World, by Andy Andrews is a compelling story with a simple message aimed at young hearts. Children will identify with the brief biographies of children who grew up to change the world as they discover that everything they do matters. Andrews clearly connects the life of Norman Borlaug to that of Vice President Henry Wallace; Henry Wallace to George Washington Carver; George Washington Carver to his adopted father, Moses Carver. Each of these men was a world changer in their own day. But the real triumph of this book is that it reveals the chain reaction of influence through each of them. Each of these men has an influence that outlived their days. I am thankful to have this beautifully illustrated book to share with my six year old son. I hope that children of all ages will learn from this story the tremendous impact their choices have for years to come.
