It's funny how God works in special ways. Our little girl accepted Jesus into her heart after having this book read to her. We talked about how the King had a sinful heart and how we have sinful hearts too. Their dirty from the start; but, with Jesus' forgiveness, He can clean our hearts so that we can know Him, follow Him and truly love Him because He first loved us (That's a recap of our conversation in case you were wondering lol).
Great book! FIVE STARS FOR ME!
