by Sr. Adaku Helen Ogbuji, CCVI, PhD
This book is the fruit of Sr. Helen’s years of learning how to reflect on the Word of God, both as a child and as an adult; and how each stage of learning, interpretation, interaction and knowledge, initiated a fuller understanding of and relationship with God.
Paperback: $16.95 | Kindle: $9.99
TESTIMONIALS
“In this book, Sr. Helena tells the story of human salvation through the eyes of a babe. I’m sure that you’ll find her perspective refreshing and inspiring. Give her the chance to bring you a clearer understanding of God’s Word, and in the process improve your relationship with God. I recommend this book and masterpiece to you.” – Fr. Udo Ogbuji
“As children of God, we are called to approach the Bible with genuine, child-like openness and with rudimentary curiosity in order to learn about God and have a relationship with Him. It is this view that Sr. Adaku explicates so beautifully in this book. Approaching the Bible from the point of view of children makes such a big difference. As we all know, the Bible cannot be fully exhausted in its width and depth. It is a living book, and it keeps on challenging us. My hope and prayer is that this book will help readers understand the Word of God and consequently bring them to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.” – Rev. Dr. Patrick Thawale
