Jackie The Brave is about a puppy that first hears about the armor of God by the little girl who adopts him. Since Jackie loves his little girl, he wants to be a brave warrior just like her. However, when she leaves for school in the school bus, Jackie thinks that she has been taken by a giant yellow dragon. Wanting to rescue her, he chases after the school bus. Unfortunately, he loses his battle and is injured in the process, leaving him with feelings of shame. After being bandaged up at the veterinary office, Jackie comes home and tries to hide. Jackie's little girl then models the love of Christ and reassures her puppy of her love. She then re-names her puppy to reflect the desires of his heart and support his dreams of being a brave doggie. Jackie The Brave is the first book in a series of seven children's books. It chronicles the adventures of a small black puppy who learns to trust in God to overcome his fears. In these adventures, Jackie chases cars, and is afraid of bugs, the dark, dying, being unloved, and losing his security blanket. The books are both titled and modeled after the author's pets; and they address common fears that people face over the years. They show the pain and healing involved as well as speculate some of the reasons behind the fears. The author based these books on her own experiences and used her children's adventures to color them. They provide a biblical way out of fear and give a message of hope. Every book then closes with a Bible verse about God's love and trusting in His protection in order for children to understand that the Lord is always with them.

2 God's Everyday Miracles can often go ignored or forgotten, wiped away as coincidence, or just good fortune. God is constantly working in our lives and we simply become oblivious to it. I don't believe that this is our intention, but the world can unknowingly skew our vision. This workbook is intended to aid us in removing the blinders over our eyes. It is also partly intended to function as a journal, so that you the reader may use it as a tool to regain your vision. Let's start re-training ourselves to see and acknowledge where we should be singing God's praises. Let's train ourselves to begin looking into our lives and notice where He has been at work. Let's develop a God-microscope to help us interpret our crazy lives and see where we have experienced God's mighty hand. I have both heard and experienced countless acts of God! We all have! God is constantly active in our lives! Let's stop sweeping His miracles under the rug. Instead, let us start uncovering them! Let's start training ourselves to notice them, so we can sing about them! Let's praise His mighty name!
