In this sweet book you will read the story of David and his reluctance to practice the piano~
Sound like someone you know?
"'But it's hard' and 'I keep hitting the wrong notes' complains David."
Do you make mistakes in this life?
Then David's mom turns this into a teaching moment about Jesus Christ and his atonement.
She has paid for the piano lessons so she can ask David to practice even if he makes mistakes.
Christ has also paid for us...
What does He ask of us?
Are we allowed to make mistakes?
Read to find out how David's mom answers :)
This wonderfully illustrated book will help you ponder the fact that...
"We aren't earning our way to heaven~ we are practicing for it."
A BEAUTIFUL BOOK with a HOPEFUL MESSAGE!
I LOVE the way Brad Wilcox teaches about this idea of...
"We don't need to be perfect right now,
we just have to keep practicing!"
we just have to keep practicing!"
EVERYONE should read this book!
This would make a fantastic family Easter book!
