About the Book
"Literally laugh out loud and fall down and can't recover for a while funny! My daughter was in stitches, as was I. Very clever, creative and powerfully faith-affirming story telling." Nicholas Miller, professor and father of three, Andrews University, Michigan, USA. "This book needs to come with a warning... DON'T LET ADULTS GET THEIR HANDS ON IT FIRST. I know that this is a children's book, but the kids will just have to wait till the adults have finished reading, laughing, crying and reflecting! Great stories for kids of all ages." Ian Sweeney, church leader, ENGLAND. "James views life in full technicolor, and takes us on a journey through his remarkable world with him. A master storyteller is at work here." Dr John Hammond, educator and storyteller, AUSTRALIA. "It's refreshing to read a Christian children's book that doesn't condescend to kids and gets what interests them. It has history, travel, theology, all wrapped within adventure and humor. We love it almost as much as our daughter does!" Gary Krause, church leader, & Bettina Krause, lawyer, Maryland, USA. "James' stories are always engaging and thought provoking. They are a big favorite at our house!" Jennifer Price, lawyer, & Craig Price, executive, parents of six children, Sydney, AUSTRALIA. "James is a uniquely talented and accomplished storyteller with a knack for vivid, hilariously funny and inspiring stories. He creates a wonderful visual of characters and everyday situations, and the stories, through little glimpses of his life, make you reflect on your own life and some of the bigger issues and dilemmas facing us all, while being entertained and inspired in the process." Vidar Keyn, business advisor and father of two, Oslo, NORWAY. "James' stories are joyful, fun, full of amazing life experiences from all over the world, and they are deeply spiritual. Our students love them - as do our teachers!" Judie Rosa, school vice principal and mother of three, Maryland, USA. "James' writing is comical, pointed as well as spiritually relevant for our children. Love his material!" Terry Johnson, church leader, Perth, AUSTRALIA. "James is a master writer of contemporary Christian children stories. A great read for both parent and child." JC Crissey, businessman and father of two, ENGLAND. "The first story in the book is told with great humor through the eyes of a boy 'launched' in a new country and having his first hilarious 'donut' experience via his peculiar roommate. This short story grabs the reader until the end and comes with a profound lesson." Dominique Ledra, mother of two, Cairns, FRANCE. "James is a masterful storyteller, weaving in humor alongside pathos with real life experiences. Young readers will find the stories engaging and thought provoking without being condescending. A must read." Meggan James, High School Deputy Principal, Melbourne, AUSTRALIA. "James' fun and fascinating narrative world creates the ideal place where he weaves deep spiritual truths with an unforgettable bang. And, wonderfully, neither mind nor heart (or funny bone) are ever left behind." Anthony MacPherson, theologian and father of two, Suva, FIJI. "James' stories are thought provoking and great kopfkino as we say in German, which means cinema in the head. And good cinema always touches my heart. I want this book for my grandchildren!" Herbert Bodenmann, media spokesman, Basel, SWITZERLAND. "James is a master story teller. The students and I love his stories." Bob Uhrig, school chaplain, Maryland, USA
