Author, Love Made: A Story of God's Overflowing, Creative Heart

When my daughter was six years old, we moved cities. She had to leave all of her wonderful neighborhood friends, and it’s something we still grieve to this day. We’ve seen God answer our prayers for new friends, but it has taken some time—just like the child in this book. So it’s impossible for me to read this book without tears in my eyes as I see such a similar story play out. What a beautiful reminder that Jesus calls us friends. In those seasons when friendships are scarce, he sticks closer than a brother—and even provides the friends we need in his time! What a gift for kids to learn that they can entrust their need for friendship to the greatest friend of all.
