Publisher's Synopsis
ABOUT THE BOOK: Dennis Jernigan, due to the nature of his own story, understands the pain life can bring, but he also understands the healing power of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Dennis spends a great deal of time in his personal ministry helping people deal with their emotional wounds. A Thread of Hope was born out of ministry to one such person who needed to hear a song of deliverance born from her own intense pain and abuse at the hands of adults. This book is intended for adults. Dennis would advise parents to read A Thread of Hope before allowing their children to read it. It is a sad state of affairs that we even need such a book . . . but we do. Use A Thread of Hope to find Jesus and His healing in your own life, and use it to minister healing to the hurting people you encounter. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dennis Jernigan is best known for his music. Songs like "You Are My All in All," "We Will Worship the Lamb of Glory," "Thank You," and "Who Can Satisfy My Soul (There Is a Fountain)" are still used widely in churches around the world. Dennis, along with his wife, Melinda, raised their nine children together on a farm in northeastern Oklahoma. Now they are investing their lives in the lives of their many grandchildren. Dennis Jernigan's children's stories were first written as a means of teaching his own children about the character and nature of God. Now that his children are grown and out of the nest, it is time for the stories to be shared with the rest of the world. **** ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR: Kimberly Merritt enjoys homeschooling her four children while finding time to do fine art. In the last few years, the Lord has opened up doors for her to do Christian children's book illustrations for various authors around the world. She currently lives in Danbury, New Hampshire, where she serves in ministry with her husband, who is a pastor.
