Here's the background on the book

Dear Readers, When I read an article about collecting Noah's ark toys and learned that they were known as the "Sunday toys" because of their Biblical connection, I began to play the "what if" game that most authors play. "What if," I pondered, "a boy had to keep his younger brother occupied on Sundays, but was unsuccessful in making him listen to the Bible stories and keeping him away from toys? And what if he came up with the idea of making a Noah's ark toy after praying about his situation?" In the book, I wanted to show that praying is really listening - that God is always pouring out all the ideas we need, but that we need to learn to listen to those thoughts and then act on them.Blessings!
