Oak Inside the Acorn

Little Acorn was afraid. “Just be the tree God made you to be,” said Mother Oak. It was hard for Little Acorn to believe he would ever be a big, strong oak tree. But as time passed he did grow into a big oak. Then one day he found that his strong branches were just right for a very special purpose. God has a special purpose for you, too. This heart-tugging tale urges you to pursue it. The Oak Inside the Acorn is the parable form of Cure for the Common Life. Both books convey one message: God made one version of you, so be the best you that you can be. Max Lucado is the author of multiple best-selling books for adults, teens, and children.
