I received a copy of the children’s book called “The Preacher Creature Strikes on Sunday,” by Mike Thaler. It is a very cute book! It is about a child’s expectations of what church is going to be like on Sunday based on what his classmates and others have said. When he arrives to church with his mom, it’s not at all like he expected – it’s BETTER! He gets to sing children’s songs and talk about bible stories. It’s a positive church experience and in the end, he looks forward to going back to church the next Sunday.

The writing in the book is simple and fun for kids. The illustrations are bright and colorful! It’s a great book for any Christian family to have.

2 lucky winners will receive a copy of “The Preacher Creature Strikes on Sunday.”

    He also wrote Easter Egg Haunt. And wow I was shocked to read how many books he has wrote it sure is alot! Thanks for entering me.

  2. Colleen says:

    Another one of his stories is the Easter Egg Haunt. These books would be great as I am trying to introduce my children into church. I had stopped going because it was so difficult, but think it is time to start again.

  3. Colleen says:

    well I have 2 special needs children so going to church has been difficult. I have to make sure I have medical stuff for my daughter…but I have to make sure I have stuff to keep my son content and behave. So for him I prepare by letting him bring a favorite book or a couple cars to drive around. This Sunday will be the first that I have brought them to church on my own since this fall. Please pray that my son behaves, my daughter doesnt vomit and I have patience if anything does happen while we are there.

    My husband is the “Preacher Creature” so Sundays are busy at my house. We have two morning services and one car. I drive my husband to church about 7:30 and get the PowerPoint set up for services. I return home and pick up my daughters in time for Sunday School, then stay for the second morning service.
