A strange, sad thing has happened in the Universe. It was rumored that evil had left a stain on one small planet. Even the wisest stars in the celestial choirs could not imagine what their Composer-Conductor would do. But in the fulness of time, He told them He would go to the wounded planet Himself. But when He told them He would also bring little Lumen, they marveled. He had a special task for her. Would this very young star be able to live up to her Creator's expectations? "The beautiful story of LUMEN has been a Christmas Eve tradition for our family for many years. With the fireside reading of the Christmas story from the Bible and LUMEN, we usher in the true meaning of Christmas. Yet, LUMEN is more than a Christmas story. It is a precious reminder that our Creator formed each one of us with purpose and knows us by name. I have read this book to adult and children's groups and it never fails to connect and touch their hearts, no matter what the age. I hope LUMEN will become a new annual tradition for you as well, but may the message stay in your hearts all year round. " Heather Stoner, Richmond, Virginia

As a child, Anne Sollee was taught to memorize Scripture. Although it wasn t always a fun thing to do, she has remembered it throughout the years and leaned on God s Word even in the direst of circumstance. Following a mission trip to an orphanage in Kenya in the summer of 2011, the children there inspired Anne to create the Scripture Scrapbook for Children. This is a scrapbook of vivid images, coupled with Bible verses and commentary from Anne herself. Each page is designed to mimic the appearance of a scrapbook, complete with cut-out dictionary definitions and hand-drawn illustrations to entice the eyes of a child. From the Old Testament to the New, Anne reminds children of God s love. When a child loses hope or feels lonely or overlooked, this scrapbook can remind him or her that God has a master plan, that God s love is always offered, and that they were created by Him. Scripture Scrapbook for Children seeks to educate, inspire, and most of all, ignite a passion for God that lasts a lifetime.

I have always believed in a few truths that should be universal. We should love and care for one another; it is wondrous that we all have different talents to share; we were given this beautiful world to take care of, not to abuse; we were created in His image so we are all beautiful. We should cherish our homes, our family, our friends, and ourselves, because these can never truly be replaced. I feel you are never too young to learn or too old to respect these truths. That is why this title makes sense; I have made up stories about truths true stories.
