It was through my parents Christian walk that taught me how to love and live for Jesus. I was inspired to write this book to encourage others to call upon him. Those that do hunger and thirst after him shall be filled. Through this wonderful story of a childlike faith, you will see how a prayer that I had at five years old was answered when I was twelve. Since then, the Lord has answered many other prayers in my life, some of which I share in this book. I know he will do the same for you. I do give God all the glory! To God be the glory!
