THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK

 
“Prior to salvation, my mind was a constant storm of emotion. I had no control. I only feared my emotions, knowing they could wipe out any life I was trying to build. The greatest emotional threat I faced was my anger, as it seemed to be steadily blowing - forcing me to react. I had no idea what to do about this - I was so powerless to this destructive behavior my emotions would cause!

Or so I thought…

My experience of meeting Jesus was a radical one. He saved me out of addiction and after meeting my savior, I spent a lot of time reading the New Testament. When I came across the story of how Jesus calmed the storm, it literally changed my life ! It was the most the exciting scripture I had heard up to this point, and over the coming days, I couldn’t stop thinking about it . For me at the time, He told shown me that my emotions where a lot like the wind, the water was liken to my behavior, and that I was the boat that Jesus was in. He told me that any time my emotions or fear rose up, I simply needed to ask Jesus to calm my emotions, just as He calmed the storm.

In a matter of months my life changed dramatically. My heart used to be dominated be anger and fear, but now, because of this beautiful truths of this story, I have peace and stillness in what once was a raging sea! This story has such personal attachment to me, so it came naturally to draw and create this first coloring book from this experience I had with God.

I believe that this story has the potential to help anyone, including young children, take hold of their emotions, enabling them to have a sound mind.”
