The Water's Edge: The First Commandment

The Water's Edge, The First Commandment Mark 12:30, is a story about Salvation for Children through a personal relationship with Christ Jesus. It is designed to stimulate questions and conversation between young readers and the adults of faith in their lives. This story is an open door for parents and caregivers to share their personal stories of Salvation, Scriptures, Bible Study, and a personal relationship with Jesus.

People often feel God's presence in Nature but do not always respond to God. People can love creation without loving the Creator. Family members and their Church plant the seeds of faith for young believers through the Scriptures and personal testimonies. This book allows open communication between children and their faith-filled adults.

In this story, a young boy named Bobby recalls the First Commandment from the Scripture, Mark 12:30, that he had learned from his family and Church while gathering seashells at the beach. This story is an opportunity to discuss with your child what Scriptures they know.

Young readers can follow Bobby as he responds to Jesus at the beach while remembering Scripture and what he has been told about God. Bobby is eager to share his Good News but struggles with wanting to do it in his own way. This is an opportunity to discuss with your child what Bobby is feeling and how they would feel.

Young readers learn how Bobby prays to Jesus when he is afraid. Bobby gets his first Bible and learns to pray as he reads the Scriptures. Bobby grows to understand that Bible Study can be rewarding for people of all ages. This book allows everyone to discuss the importance of prayer throughout the day and when reading the Bible.
