Earlier today I posted a review and giveaway of Sheila's new book, Gabby, God's Little Angel. Here's her post about WHY she picked an angel for this series!
Angels have always fascinated me. As a young girl, I would gaze in
wonder at illustrations of their airy magnificence, soak up each and every
story from the Bible about these specifically created beings and would imagine
that my very own guardian angel was behind me each step of the way.
Fast forward to 2011 and I am still fascinated by these heavenly
creatures. Yet now as a grown woman and mother, I find myself amazed and a
little perplexed by what fascinates today’s modern little girl. Monsters,
vampires and wizards, oh my! It seems these fictitious other worldly beings are
now captivating their young minds and enveloping their young worlds. As a
parent, I wanted to create a new children’s book series that would put the spotlight
on a subject truly worthy of fascination....angels.
So I set out to develop a new character that young readers would
embrace and delight in, and out from my pen and from my heart poured a new
series, Gabby, God’s Little Angel. Gabby is an adorable guardian angel in
training who finds that she has so much to learn about taking care of God’s
children. Introducing your little ones to the very real truth that, “He will put his angels in charge of you...they will
watch over you wherever you go.” (Psalm 91:11 ICB); this delightful new
series was written to teach this comforting message in a way easy for them to
understand.
I am so passionate about teaching the little angels in your own lives
just how much God loves them. I pray that through my new little friend, Gabby,
they will discover
this truth and rest assured that He is always watching over them!
On the wings
of angels,
Sheila Walsh
