    LET THE CHILDREN COME TO JESUS is the story of Butler Boy, while in his crib, who is visited by one of God’s angels. The angel instructs Butler Boy that he is to become Boy Butler, a servant, and he is to serve only his Father.We Christians know there are numerous false masters in our world that children might want to serve, and Boy Butler, now a young boy, examines many of them in a fanciful dream.Our book was written to describe the experiences of the main character, Butler Boy, which may help kids who struggle with spiritual problems that Butler Boy has dealt with when searching for a person to serve. Many of the struggles were as a result of not understanding the most powerful spiritual principle in the New Testament. It is one thing to having knowledge in your head and another to experiencing it in your heart.But Boy Butler becomes so confused who he is to serve, he turns to God in prayer for he is sure God is the only one who will help him since he has no one else to turn to for Heavenly guidance. It is in prayer that the True and Only Master comes to him and calms his confusionsaying, “Now you’re God’s servant of joy, today, tomorrow, and every day, and forever filled with His Holy Spirit.”LET THE CHILDREN COME TO JESUS is a faith-based book appropriate for parents, grandparents, teachers, and youth ministers to read with their young children since it emphasizes the critical importance of adults as positive role models.LET THE CHILDREN COME TO JESUS is beautifully illustrated in full color and written in wonderful poetry taken from GOD’S JOYFUL SERVANTS, the book young Martha chooses for her dad to read to her and her younger brother, Matthew, before bed during the Christ-mas holiday.LET THE CHILDREN COME TO JESUS could be read to or by a range of ages; we recommended it for ages 7 through 11.Before buying LET THE CHILDREN COME TO JESUS, go to http:godsjoyfulservant.com where you can also download a free copy of GOD’S JOYFUL SERVANT coloring book (and soon two other books as well; no name or email address required) to read the fictionalized story, ONE CHILD’S MIRACULOUS STORY, which is based on the true, real life experience of a nine year old boy who saw Christ Jesus riding on clouds on June 25, 1953 but the miracle that day just might be what happened next.Now 69, Pat says, "I am fighting the good fight, and I will finish the race, God willing!"
