If Jesus Owned the Diner: And Other Faith-filled Thoughts for Christian Children

Paperback (Independently published Nov. 21, 2017)
The second of Liz Wilkey's Poems from the Pew series, If Jesus Owned the Diner is a collection of original children’s poetry based on Christian themes and teachings. A brief scriptural excerpt precedes each poem. Catechetical insight, lyrical cadence, vivid imagery, and a touch of humor then combine to engage the reader in a whimsical reflection on each excerpt as seen through the eyes of a child. Although many children cannot relate to biblical references to vineyards, wineskins and outdated farm equipment, they are eager to grasp the broader meaning of these teachings and relate them to their own lives. From “Jesus’ Diner” a fanciful poem that uses a child’s misconception to teach the very principle found in the excerpt, to “The New Dance” an amusing tutorial on dealing with adversity, all of the poems in this collection use imaginative approaches to present scriptural themes on a personal and age-appropriate level while providing an example of how children can respond to the Good News of the Gospel.
