Where are you looking for self-assurance, comfort, and direction? Some seek academic excellence or sports popularity. Others seek release or comfort through drugs, social connections (personal or Internet), or even suicide. Where should we be looking?

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...

Streets of gold, a river as clear as crystal, and Jesus Himself--these three and so many more wonderful things are waiting for us in that place the Bible calls Heaven. As a father explains all the glories of that city to his son using the simplest of means--his son's toys--we are all reminded of the beauty and wonder of Heaven.

Born with a severe medical condition and walking only with assistance, she desired more than anything else to dance on the stage. So determined was she to dance, she threw away her walking stick and never used it again.

When a young boy tries to fly like a superhero so that he can be special, he learns that Jesus is the greatest superhero of all--and that being a servant of the King is the greatest gift of all.

The idea for this book came about from a conversation I had with a mother of two boys who were attending a church school.

Even though she did not believe in a god, she had sent her sons to a private school to take advantage of the perceived social and educational advantages.

In Australia (where this book was written), non-government schools are generally run by churches and are favoured by those who have the money to pay the tuition fees.

Think of it as middle-class networking for children.

One unintended consequence, however, was the boys' exposure to...
