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!"

Apps and programs are taking over the world, and thats a good thing. However, sometimes we open apps and programs and have trouble figuring out how to use them. This is a sign of poor-quality user experience (UX) design. Computer users would rather use apps and programs that arent difficult to figure out. UX designers focus on the flow of tasks through a program and try to make everything feel intuitive. In this book, readers learn about careers for UX designers as well as how UX design extends to hardware development.

Usually we think of coding as something only trained experts and scientists can handle, but not any more thanks to programs like Python. First developed in 1991, Python uses lines of code, letters, and symbols, to create computer programs. Python is easier to read and takes fewer lines of code to accomplish tasks than some programming languages. Pythons creator, Guido van Rossum, wanted to create open-source software that used easy-to-understand coding text. His software allows even novice programmers to see results in a short amount of time. Vivid photographs, sidebars, and a graphic organizer help make this STEM-centric volume a dynamic learning experience.
