The story of the caterpillar and the butterfly has been told many times but a recurring theme has been about the clumsy caterpillar metamorphosing into a beautiful butterfly. The story is about struggle and ignominy eventually culminating in glory and success. This story offers a slightly different take and attempts to convey to a child that every phase of life has its share of joys and should be enjoyed to the hilt. Life is about living in the present and making sure that you don't lose sight of the present in your quest for the future. Most children are often in a hurry to grow up as they believe that adulthood is synonymous with independence and happiness. Yet when they grow up they still look back at their childhood as their wonder years. If only they had understand the virtues of childhood when they were children they would have enjoyed it more.This theme is brought alive through the story of Twisty, a caterpillar who lives her life in agony and regret that she cannot fly and travel the world like her mother. She gets a dose of reality when she gets to visualize the life of a butterfly, albeit in her dreams. It brings home the lesson that a adult life is not as rosy as it looks and that a child should try and enjoy the fun and carefree days of her childhood.

The reason for doing God's ABCs of the Bible is because John believes that people today don't read the Bible like they should and know God's Word. Adults and children are playing video games that are reprogramming their minds. He thought it would be nice to have an alphabet book to get the kids and adults to read it and get them to go searching for the verses in the Bible and to get them interested in reading the Bible more. This will make them wonder and search for more truths from God in His Word. This alphabet book will give the readers an insight to Jesus Christ, prayer, and some of God's promises that you can find only in God's Holy Word.
