"Ellie's Enchantment: A Journey Through the Forest of Whimsy" authored by Ryan Keeler, published on April 7, 2024, is a captivating children's tale that explores the magical adventures of Ellie, a young girl with a vivid imagination and an open heart. Set against the backdrop of the Enchanted Forest of Whimsy, the story begins with Ellie discovering a shimmering envelope in her grandmother's attic, an invitation that leads her to a hidden, mystical forest. As Ellie traverses this magical realm, she meets an array of whimsical creatures, from talking animals to singing flowers, each introducing her to the wonders and secrets of the forest. Guided by Finn, a wise fox with a monocle, Ellie visits extraordinary places within the forest, like the River of Reflections, which reveals the beauty of one's soul, and the Meadow of Mirrors, where mirrors reflect one's inner strengths rather than physical appearance. The narrative beautifully interweaves elements of fantasy with heartfelt lessons on self-discovery, the value of kindness, and the power of positive belief. Throughout her journey, Ellie learns that the true magic of the forest isn't just in the enchanting experiences or the mystical creatures she meets but in the growth and insight she gains about herself and the world around her. The forest teaches her that magic is real and powerful, especially the magic that resides within one's own heart and imagination. As the story culminates, Ellie returns to her world transformed, carrying with her the profound lessons and the enchanted essence of the Forest of Whimsy. She learns to see her daily life through a lens of wonder and carries the seeds of joy and gratitude back into her community, spreading the magic further. "Ellie's Enchantment" is not only a tale of adventure and fantasy but also a profound reminder of the transformative power of kindness, courage, and belief in oneself. It's a heartwarming read that encourages children and adults alike to find and cherish the magic in everyday life.

Your kids are talking about identity. Are you part of the conversation? Today’s kids and youth are talking about identity—and often very differently from the adults around them. How can we walk well with them through their questions about who they are and how they fit into the family of God? We must begin by telling a better gospel story, with an invitational posture that actually expects us to love God and love others. In this engaging and disarming book that speaks to readers across the theological spectrum, author and children’s ministry expert Christie Penner Worden invites grownups along to imagine a more Jesus-centered narrative for the sake of kids who are no longer buying what the church is selling, who do not feel safe, and who have not been welcomed into the conversation that adults are having without them. The Me I Was Made to Be is the beginning of a conversation that offers a compelling story on identity rooted in a deeper understanding of the gospel—one that includes all image-bearers and extends Jesus’ welcome to all our kids.
