The Seed That Grows in Secret

God Makes Good Things Grow While We Wait

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

A farmer scatters seed, then sleeps and rises night and day while the seed sprouts and grows — he doesn't know how, and he doesn't make it happen. Children learn that God makes good things grow in his own time and his own way: in gardens, and in hearts. A peaceful story about waiting, trusting, and watching for the harvest. Drawn from Mark 4.

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.
