HOW CAN YOU HELP SPREAD THAT NEWS TO KIDS?
Purchase one or more copies to donate to one of the various organizations seeking books to give to kids or for libraries, churches, schools, prisons, children's hospitals, friends, and to Third World countries who are in need of books for the schools they are erecting. (See list below).
EXAMPLE: From Spacey's encounter with the African children singing :
Wind. Wind. Wind
I can't see you Wind, but I see you moving trees.
Wind. Wind. Wind.
I can't see you Wind, but I hear you rustling leaves.
Wind. Wind. Wind.
I can't see you Wind, but I feel you touching me.
God. God. God.
I can't see you God, but I feel you deep inside of me.
Spacey stood there staring, as if he were hypnotized. Maybe God is like the wind. We can't see him, but he lives inside of us. Now I've got to get home and see what Mama thinks.
