First sentence: Papa took me by the hand and said, "Let's take a walk."  He opened up the door and then began to talk.
Description: A 32-page, full color, hardback book that shares the story of Jesus and the truth of salvation to children ages 6 and up.  In this story, Papa invites his child (or grandchild) to join him on a walk.  The journey begins in a hay field and then moves into a forest, they travel alongside a stream and eventually arrive at a hilltop.  The details of their journey are vividly described in words and in the watercolor illustrations, giving the reader the feeling that they are walking with the two travelers.  Midpoint in the story, Papa and the child reflect on their journey and a conversation about Jesus begins.  Papa points out things they experienced while walking that brings the salvation story to life.  The book culminates in the child's tender prayer to jesus where she simply prays, "Jesus, I do love you.  Please come into my heart.  Forgive me for my sins.  From you, I'll never part."  The last two pages of teh book include scripture references which lead the reader into a deeper understanding of the gift christ gave us in His gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
Notes: This is a great ministry / evangelism tool for children's pastors, sunday school teachers, VBS leaders and parents.
