Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
~Matthew 5:16
(NKJV)
Quote of the Week:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat."
~Teddy Roosevelt

A Dad's Delight
Many of you still remember that fall day back in 1994 when six small children were killed in a fiery accident on I-94 just over the border in Wisconsin. Pastor Scott and Janet Willis and their six youngest children were traveling in their minivan when a chunk of metal in the middle of the highway pierced the gas tank. As you may remember, the fire claimed the lives of all six children in the minivan. Ben was 13. Joe was 11. Sam was 9. Hank was 7. Elizabeth was 3. Peter was 6 weeks old.
Knowing Scott and Janet Willis personally, and as a father myself, I fully appreciate the fact that they love to recall special times and events they had experienced with their children. So it makes sense that Janet would put together a children's book about one of their favorite stories -- this one about their son Hank.
Janet not only authored A Dad's Delight, but she also illustrated it with life-like paintings of her husband Scott and the children.
The book is about a broken window, a father's mercy and a little boy who loved baseball.
It's about the reality of God's forgiveness.
Hank is a boy after Dad's own heart, following Dad's lead, loving baseball. When Hank gets himself in "big trouble," Dad demonstrates a bigger love, a God-like love. A simple true -- life story, "A Dad's Delight" illustrates a profound truth about the character of God.
If you would like to get a copy of this book, Scott and Janet ask that you make a donation to one of the following three non-profit ministries ($17 for hardcover, $10 for softcover):
