I wrote this book to give somebody an access point or a way to God that they might not have had before. I believe that your favorite stories are actually an avenue to connect with God. That's not a mistake. That's not something that you're concocting in your own mind. You are a son, you are a daughter of the living God. You were created in his image and it is written on your heart that you want to know him, enjoy him, love him.
