Endorsement: Young girls desperately need reading materials that will encourage them to aspire to have a closer relationship with God. As children cross over from childhood to young adulthood, they need role models that will guide them in the right direction. Books can be a very powerful influence in the decisions that children make for adulthood. Anna has created a book that is authentic in the fun activities that children and their families engage in and still allow space for the heart to seek after God. She has developed a story that will draw in a young reader to enjoy the book as well as point her in a direction that will take her to a deeper relationship with God. Not only has she written a book about seeking after God, she exemplifies it in her life as well. Our children need materials that encourage them to seek after a relationship with God. -Joan Stowell, Pastor's Wife, Sahuarita First Assembly of God, Sahuarita, Arizona There is no better family than the Evans to teach the value of spirituality and the wisdom of keeping Christ at the center of our lives. Practical, relevant, and encouraging! I can't imagine a more practical book on a much-needed topic. Nor can I imagine a better person than Anna to write it. Finally, the perfect book written to help me prepare my children for a strong and solid spiritual future. I strongly urge every parent, and child, to read this book, apply these principles, and change their family's legacy and eternal security. Thank you, Anna, for this rock-solid guide to teach our kids and families the importance of keeping God first and Jesus Christ at the center as they grow into spiritually-mature adults with confidence and integrity. -Ahmad Alexander, AuD, MPH, PMP, PHR, Licensed Minister, Retired Army, Houston, Texas Author Bio: Anna Evans is a high school junior
