Salt and Light

How Little Hearts Shine for Jesus

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

Jesus says his friends are the salt of the earth and the light of the world — and that includes children. Through everyday moments of kindness, honesty, and courage, young readers discover what it means to shine for Jesus at home, at school, and with friends — and why a light is never meant to be hidden. Drawn from Matthew 5.

Written for children ages 6–12, this book has ten chapters, each with three illustrations (30 in all) and a "Do" activity and a "Pray" prayer to close. All Scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV). It ends with a Gospel Invitation that helps a child understand how to begin following Jesus, plus a note for grown-ups.
