Jordan Raynor – författare

This innovative children’s book cleverly shows kids how God provides for them—and how He may use them in their future vocations to bless others. When we sit down to eat and close our eyes to prayWe thank God for the food that He gave us today.But how does He do it? How can it be?That from way up in heaven God feeds you and me?When your family gives thanks to God before eating, do you ever discuss how He made that meal possible—through the farmer that grew the produce, the factory worker who packed the order, and the clerk who stocked the grocery shelf. Each plays an essential role in the chain that God has put in place to provide for His people.With fresh storytelling and vivid illustrations, How God Feeds You opens your children’s eyes to the ways God delivers good things to them—not through divine intervention, but through the big and small efforts of everyday people faithfully doing their work.
