Whitney Coaches David On Fighting Goliath

Bullies come in all shapes and sizes, as Whitney finds out in her third adventure.

Having been transported by her emerald Bible back to the time of David, ten-year-old Whitney helps him fight the giant Goliath and thus gains the courage to confront an intimidating girl at school.

In this volume of this biblical time-travel series, soccer star Whitney becomes an elitist on the field and is whisked back to the Tower of Babel to see the results of pride.

Whitney turns to Nana's Emerald Bible for help and gets sent back in time to King Solomon's court.

How can any of us, but especially children, know God? Using the phrase from the Psalm as a jumping-off point -- "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord" -- this color-drenched book answers the question with a celebration of the senses. In poetic language, the author summons up richly evocative scenes that children are experiencing for the first time and that adults will recall with great pleasure -- cotton candy from a carnival, crickets at night, brownies fresh from the oven, the tickle of snowflakes on eyelashes. For each of the five senses, there are several scenes illustrated with lush images that immediately summon up the sensation.
