 | Author: Laronda Koffi Reading level: Ages 4-8 Publisher: Jesus Loves Me Children's Books LLC (June 28, 2008) ISBN-10: 0981715001 ISBN-13: 978-0981715001 |
This book has become a new favorite for me and my children.
The author has written this book on a child's level that has a very powerful message of living a life that glorifies God... in all that we do.
The story may be geared towards 4-8 year olds, but the message is for us all. How we live our lives and what we do can either bring glory to God or shame to Him especially if you're professing to be a Christian. Does your life truly show you're a Christian? Or does it contradict what the Bible says?
This book is a definite keeper for our bookshelves and I may have to pick up a few extra copies for friends for their family.

About the Book:
In the children's book God Has a Purpose for Me, young Aya hears a sermon at church about fulfilling God's purpose in her life. She decides to begin right away by doing things she thinks will make the Lord happy.
Exhausted and confused by her efforts, she turns to her family and learns what fulfilling God's purpose in one's life really means.
About the Author:
As the author of God Has a Purpose for Me, LaRonda Koffi, new publisher and author, certainly seems to be fulfilling her own purpose. "I saw this need for Christian children's books," said LaRonda. "There are a lot of children's books, but where are all the Christian books for those who want to learn about the Lord? Where are there books for children? "I felt that the Lord put it in my heart to start writing Christian children's books," LaRonda said.
Rather than face the daunting task of shopping her manuscript around to various publishing companies, she simply started her own. Formed in November 2007, Jesus Loves Me Children's Books LLC has given LaRonda the opportunity to pursue this calling. "I always knew that I wanted to take this route," LaRonda said. "I decided that forming a publishing company would be more of a ministry," she said.
Support for Compassion International:
"For each book sold, $1 will go to Compassion International."
The company's mission is to give donations to Christian organizations that help the financial, developmental and spiritual needs of children living in poverty throughout the world.
The donated money goes to Compassion International's Unsponsored Children's Fund, which provides temporary care to children waiting for a sponsor. "I know that probably would be something I could not do had I submitted it and been accepted to a major publishing company," LaRonda said.
