    About this ebook

    Every person is tasked with learning why they were created and the unique gifts that make them special. Written by New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado, The Oak Inside the Acorn teaches about the incredible miracle inside each of us while reminding us that we were created by God for a special purpose.

    The story highlights the adventure of a sweet little acorn becoming a big, strong oak tree. Readers will cheer on the growing tree when he can't grow oranges like the orange tree or flowers like the rose bush. Children will read with wonder as the tree grows empty branches, and later, a very special purpose is revealed.

    The Oak Inside the Acorn is an inspiring picture book for readers, ages 6 to 10 that shows

    • All of God's creations have purpose and contribute to the well-being of others
    • Patience is a process, and it takes time to grow into all God created them to be
    • Life is a journey, and God has a plan for them through the ups and downs

    This wonderful picture book makes an excellent

    • Bedtime story for snuggling close with little ones
    • Inspirational gift for graduation, baptism, baby showers and dedications, and adoptions
    • Read aloud story time to help children understand all they were created to be

      Such a precious short story with such huge purpose and meaning. It speaks of simple gospel truth in child like format that even and probably more so, an adult can truly appreciate the most: As a follower of Christ and as a parent: letting go of our earthly children we were so very blessed with, for they first and foremost belong to God, and this gives much comfort and encouragement to a mother that we must indeed let them go, so they will call out their purpose that God called them, his children, to be.
