Julie K. Wood and Diane Heines

Versus where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary passion together we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into kingdom pursuits now live from the truth.

Your host Robbie Gilmore got. I have a blast today on pursuits as we have people who've taken their passion for children and in writing children's books. We have a couple of children's books, authors with us today. We have first up, Diana highness, which we've heard her husband Joshua with this before and her book, which is really I'm sure to be at the children's classic. It's the Harriet call Joe's hair grow welcome Diane yeah it's kinda neat and you just got back from a long trip fencing and put my calendar last night as your husband. Sort of an evangelist right and what will you guys doing I lack operation Christmas time. I think any kind of links to my love, my children, and children differently well with Joe's hair grow which I know Joshua you're going be really should've here. I don't know what I was thinking, but I did about kids will get to that second.

Next up we have Julie would Julie is the author of books and boots meets Jesus welcome Julie. Wonderful Julie is in Colorado Springs this morning and that that's gotta be beautiful out there at all and your husband is in the Air Force. I will wonders in the Air Force Academy and airport airfreight guide on how to handle their being at when I was young I lived in Colorado. My uncle was stationed there at the Air Force Base. He taught some of the cadets had realized they also have Air Force Base as well as the uniform here carry out your quartet and that church. If you've never seen it all. My word is this amazing thing. But God inspired you with your animals right to write my animal guide work. We can get more into that. I don't know if they get back on my real wilderness. You know what kind of thing. How are all in the wilderness until we find my baby apparently got them in the book. Are based on that. 15 rights and so since we have two kids books on today's show I thought speaking of kids. What is the most non-confrontational age kids everyone about that.

What is the most non-confrontational age well from what I understand, maybe nine or may know that the pediatrician was a real killer as you do this Jasper, but the invisible man married the invisible woman, their kids are nothing to look at either spanking your kids in the heat of the moment is what they call bad air conditioning just so you'll know, spanking your kids in the heat of the moment is bad air conditioning now in my never-ending search for the best cannibal jokes as they've always just tickled me know and just released the third edition of the Campbell cookbook title how to better serve your fellow man. It was written by a guy with a wife and eight kids of all that is II don't know what it is about cannibal jokes. I just love them anyway just shows that I have strengths and see him.

My wife would tell you, but the actual riddle today and we have so many wonderful prizes to give away. But here's the actual riddle not to bleed around the bush but name an Old Testament saint who was a rambunctious hitter not to bleed around the bush name an Old Testament saint, which by the way there.

Lots who was a rambunctious kid or and if they can answer that Jasper Tom what that when a copy of Joe's hair for Jesus right. We have lots of good news is there's lots of rambunctious caterers in the Old Testament, and your choice of either the holiday and 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH and Telus, who was that Old Testament saint who was a rambunctious hitter and you know there's no better answer on this. I would never, I would never give away my riddles, but their calling in as we speak, but I I love this picture on the very back. I think I'm to go backwards on your book. Joe's hair grow this picture that's on the second of the last page. There tell tell our listeners they can't see it but it's classic coffee shop with my time thinking back to my father Nigerian banking 1619 think the original gel he he. Back in anything like a little scary thinking about him and I think I dropped the rhyming children's book. I think I my computer in 2030 minutes and I think a strong: I think the original Jerry paragraph my father Nigerian banking. I think even Maxine us stopped allocating loud sound, and the little giant bucolic can grant the inspiration for this bank and it actually even says on in the original from the 60s which you know being a child of the 60s you know back then you know we had the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. You know you you hair was a big deal. In fact, even to the musical. Oh, underneath Joe with his wild hair that would fit right in the 60s it says it's the areas. So when you look at the actual title of a beautiful book that that is now out there, illustrated by Amy Hathcock amazing job. See Roger to write in the modern president and similar pink Santini says Joe's hair grow the Harriet about that picture but Diane God gave you a picture to, and in the front of your book is equally intriguing there. These two cats that look really cold there out like in the snow was at the wilderness you're talking about cover that wonderful work Lori. And when I went to electric children capture their heart and it based on their chief and on the cover house with the fire they are all happy to cover that you knew how to make it for children unit with little to like her children always override getting to warm home with Amy that you have completed how they go to church and back on Matthew 25, 30, 40, 45 over where we were helping enter they help another little one also point out that is holding onto the book back is to see them in and so when we come back.

I am personally very anxious. I can understand why the one is named Tennessee that worked on the know how to give his name were trying to figure out there's no answer to this 866-34-TRUTH 87884 calling and uses it to build the kingdom.

Today we have two wonderful examples of peoples given our God is given them a passion for writing children's books, and we have Julie Wood is the author of X and boots meet Jesus, and we have Diane highness with her book. Joe's hair growth which both books are just a delightful thing and you know is just to its is really here comes the next generation is coming after us and so we get not only challenged with the Julie of sharing that in ways that the children can see and deliver in God gives us is really creative pictures like Joe with his hair.

You know in order to create that.

But right now you have a creative task of telling me who didn't bleed around the bush but grant you got a name, an Old Testament saint who was a rambunctious kid or 866-34-TRUTH 87884. You have a choice of either of these children's books which I know you got children nieces and make a great Christmas present for somebody these nephew or child. All you have to do is tell us which Old Testament saint was a rambunctious kid or 866-34-TRUTH 87884 not. I promised our listeners Julie that we understand how boots got his name.

When we look at the picture of the cat on the back. I'm guessing he's the one with the white boots, but how about troops great ever comes out of your mouth. My heart beat and work. Story on our site about the real trick story behind that and we went out to a little cleaning their work. And we put them away. Probably the economy at their little paws often became adorable And later we went leaning you go down the line you might feel taught and Lori you know the feeling, how they survived the looking at you know in our heart. Don't anything about parenting children learn upon you think this is remarkable Julie. I look I'm sitting here with Jerry's hair, Joe's hair grow and you know what they have been in that book we got Diane thinking between Brandon and me. There is very monochromatic On your notable meeting how God works through knowledge and creativity to your team. You how God is our passion and I feel my passion for helping those in the last 12 years. Help me get my my company. My passengers my mission for the great and I don't know the crown, clinical I'm not very critical, but not like you can eat your children and I don't have children you can go on back and black divine connection chain wanted when your follower Q and she's the one that called in the short. Only two months in public. Now to me.

You know, telling me pictures and video my heart with joy when I know my purpose in teaching children about you going and the other part of my company helping children and animals in need with the top award program on our site open the door shaking together over, you know, I may never be alert the heart one child every time I get home I will be like when you're perfect because on your lately the story on your part. And he calls you to do it and I love Diane how you easier sit there with her husband and looking at this picture and all of a sudden the story came and you said hello take you to write actually three came to me sound funny things can be still and know I am God. I and even your beauty and accents praying and I had been with Jesus on what drives me every day team just encourage children to get to know Jesus and follow their lead back to the same kind about outpacing particular saint I think is here again is my first back tells how that happened, how did God bring you the illustrator Kylie started working with me and shaking hands, and I think this is interesting to Amy. Click the content down on Jerilyn C. She was an artist. She mentioned briefly and think that God told me your every state and scenic bank had been on my list and kind of the core of the message of the way line Jerry children especially needing something to be glad in his bedroom. Clearly talking crazy day neighbor, Mr. Frankie said the word that should at least plan, 39 m per think the wonderful need to change answer now, I don't see in this society now.

Children at school and TV is told to change email perfect tally I got lazy. There is no need to change Eli right you know there's so many image issues for little girls with their weight in all sorts of things that they are. But here's this book, you know, which is wonderful about God loves you just the way that we have these people that I want to tell us about a rambunctious kid or we have Janet is in Raleigh, North Carolina Janet, you're on kingdom versus component. I am just thrilled that you called to tell us about a rambunctious kid or okay well you get two books for the you know those are to my favorite rambunctious killers. You know they were both very rambunctious and in the case of Jacob. You know he had spotted Kidder so there probably monochromatic to black and white. You know me, one of the black goats might've been named, you know, who knows what. What about David strikes you about his rambunctious fighter warrior. Nobody thought would amount to much. So I think you've already Jacob Allstate tricked his brothers.

He was around he saw Perry on treatment you and I love what you said about David you not been thinking about it all week.

He was a man after God's own heart, even in the midst of all the crazy things that he got into, but his heart was always for the Lord and he was he was trying to figure out ways that he could bless God what it was making a tempura seems like his heart was just always have my bless God how can I bless God and and really got dismissed and so you know what I think about these wonderful authors are people that use their passion and I was let me bless God with this replace God with this story is wonderful.

I'm so excited. Thank you, Jennifer: into the core program started talking about the fires they want to create one good sounds great. God bless thank you to. We also have Kim can must been, to tell you right now, and others. There are plenty of jitters out there that we have not mentioned theirs I can think of at least five. Without it there so if you want these books for we got them. We want to give away we got Jesus and Joe's hair grow to find out so much more about these characters.

Let me just tell you.

In both cases the books are absolutely illustrated me just like oh wow. I mean that's what just the coverages jump out at you. You want to 866-34-TRUTH seven passion and uses it to build the kingdom of God thrilled that have these wonderful children books offers with us today.

Julie would use the author of books and boots meets Jesus meet Jesus and Diane highness, who wrote the book.

Joe's hair growing again.

I was saying it right before the break. If you could see how beautiful he thinks books are traded blows my mind is so wonderfully published in and again you got a chance to win these. I gotta tell us was about more of these rambunctious killers in the Old Testament 866-34-TRUTH 87884 don't want to miss out on these, but we are talking during the break Diane you know Satanist clearly got a plan to come after the kids.

I mean, he's got vampires and all sorts of dragons he would love you to fall in love with and share many books to my CDs that is in line just a couple weeks and I think your email.but crimes a month, but he found the one she was grabbing Stephen drop immediately down and painful for people regularly make myself standing by that you learn the gospel were told you John 15 to be the light shines in the darkness, the darkness does not overcome the children to be the right that companies need to be the Bible. They need to know guidelines and not some you like it even has a preference. Children Frank Dotson may vary in length on your child.

People need to let them society is not telling me right in getting getting into the story of of books and boots. I love the fact that like the cover illustrates they get lost they get out in the wilderness is cold out there. Julie good friend of mine, helping children in need and we can work together in helping orphanage and churchgoing call and talk about what I was talking about knowing your book need to make sure going forward. When looking at it. I'm not popular football team. My birthday get it become known to pop my first but to accomplish getting a good school because I believe in my heart when you really know what you are that now and not get picked on the belief that critical going off all about glorifying him going here… I really think hard it is that we are the children learned that interesting because back in one of my white knee that help families in need help in what you know.

I also share a similar was challenged actually a number years ago to write a series for the people to do the museum. The Bible and well, they didn't accept it after I wrote it, but my heart was we need to reach the children the next generation to follow the Bible they wanted something I believe they wanted something written more to adults and that kind of thing. But my thought was well know we need to reach the kids and so I wrote this drama, like adventures in Odyssey they didn't take.

I was heartbroken because I put a lot into it. I thought this is exactly what we need this on the radio for this 20 radio for adults, but we need regular forget and Dotson will rob you have a radio show why don't you write for Christian car guy so that's how we got Christian car guy theater which is like adventures on similar type children's programming but are characters rather than putting some boots work. Joe's hair growth are the under the hood gang in a French offender and mosey motor oil and all these guys go on these adventures in which we try to do an episode every week.

But it's interesting to me that God put it on my heart and then said okay go make this happen because he loves the children and he wants stuff to reach that next generation and some of those people were killers right and so we got Ken back in Colfax and Jim I know you got some answers for us. Well, I got back. Granted, disrupted, that's okay. I know you know some jitters rambunctious well Bible lived in modern and with Batman and with the Riddler got blinded that was real about those little cart know what you you have something the use called Dragon. You nailed it. That's all that was really makes my day is actually a laugh about that all the way on the you you have nailed the little little that we have more there's more jitters so we got Paula is in Greensboro. Thanks, Jim Douglas, all right. Paul is in Greensboro, you have some other regulars in mind, I do.

How about Aaron and may dampen that.I know thinking that they could playfully you know all will mix up whatever oil and we don't have to do it exactly the way dad and go into the temple and the holy of holy. They were the original crispy critters to be on 70.

Think about losing both his sons in such a tragic episode of not taking you know seriously what was holy and actually you know that's a really good reminder Paul. I'm really glad you shared that because it is really you know it's a tragic thing but there's a few people in Scripture God to seem to really make an example out of and those two are in your member 08 Aiken got stoned yet he was one website. So if Iran wants the guys name I forget how the book will yeah yeah yeah yeah and then it I don't know this week. You know I'm thinking about the two young boys and I wanted to give it to this. Either they were kind of being young and prankster you know that on the way of looking at it and then realizing that slippery slope that we've all been on away from God and not honoring how it is like there are real the real doctor and then we we are to follow them and I found myself struggling with and myself on as well. And then there was the little boys it called Elisha Baldy and ended up with the bear problem yeah you know what you know there's certain things that you went too far and there it is so wonderful I'm I'm I'm really glad you brought. I bless you, thank you and thank you for your thank you for your love for the Scripture and in no thank you and thinking about it day and night like someone this one. God bless, I think, wow, I'm on try to challenged gelatin Julie with all these Bible scholars out there is independently God's given all these people passion the form of the word and that it ignites their own imaginations, and their own stories and so how did these guys get lost how to talk and boots end up in the wilderness and only found out. No crown story now are snapping at the time provided animal cell to get them all the same thing you were connected but but you know how to hold it or my kind lumberjack goes back to helping those in need, whether animal shelter and you knew the real world and other black little everybody went overnight parent animal. We got so much more to talk about Joe's hair growth. Get more from Diane and we need to get some other answers out there. I think this 20 more jitters 866-34-TRUTH 8788 Blessed to have with us to children's books, authors Julie would the author of books and boots meet Jesus and Diana highness her book.

Joe's hair growing as always, they didn't have an answer the riddle you want these books if you go to King of research.com's kingdom pursuits.com you'll see there all about the authors waste or the books. You can even get 10 packs of the books or as many boxes you want to to use wonderful gifts for Christmas or birthdays.

Whatever it is that you do you know kids latch onto a book and and they memorize it out of you.

Remember your two or three or four-year-old on your neonate always asked for that same book.

How cool would it be if they found a book that had a biblical message something that they just were putting in their mind to really transform them, and I really love Diana God used rhyming in your book is Diane shared with me that when she was a child she didn't necessarily like to rhyme and then when you read most children's books are a lot of books that they rhyme. So here's one of her rhymes that she wrote in her book that God did it says.

The Bible says that God loves people short or tall. He loves them with long hair, short hair or no hair at all, like your doctors you brought out your inner Dr. suits me and my parents and I think like you need anything placing the writing that for some reason we can't penetrate anything at the rhymes and franchise banking and online they can in the early 19 out in my mind's eye, and you have children that I get messages raising money here and feedback from friends and family and people that I never nabbed and insane children. I I was standing about, because every single page rhymes and even children can align my dearest Jason, I love that the Bible has a click on basic teachings on the on Frank mind intelligent think I made them special and unique sound perfect design told the end of the Bible that we are meeting guys NETs Empire when the claim around the record and if we can start planting the seeds and children. I will continue this kind of funny. You see my picture at some point time, you might notice that I have really wavy hair and also have this huge gap between my two front teeth and you can imagine as a child. The two things I hated the most about myself was my curly hair. I mean absolutely you know it was just like I want to do you. I looked in the mirror I just didn't like those things are, how wonderful would it have been if I had some books to sit there and go now that I'm older and a lot of people lost their hair on you know like the fact that I still have my still curly in the so all that you know I'm like okay by that gap in my teeth and their likely that's Robbie.

It's clearly in this way God made me a hard time carrying people never forget my right thigh.

Talking is perfectly funny when you hear your voice recorded the first time I heard it. I was like that where you think there might be an enemy that's out there trying to attack the glory that God gave think I like that.

How did Satan come after you, Julie, when you started to illustrate to think through this process. My only blanket I also heard in my life their child 20 acre plan, no pain on my prayer closet, you know, because you think about it I get children pray when they get old you married her later in on the court protected, highly favored the right there Victoria because the world and their teaching and only if, on your hero growing up I knew about who I am going to kick me blasting because you know I'm sure Diana and I knew him she had children look harder and harder in the world are living in book that are based on Jesus in the goodness and everything on out there. Obviously, Satan's got his little army of right now I'm thinking you know I wrote this children's book, long time ago.

This thought came to be that I thought I was posted step out in faith and you go on an adventure right that you never would've believed his God's given you a lot of adventure. Diane obviously going to Singapore and all these different places, but this book of interest in a different one year and is being patient with me think that sent his trust in God's timing is always perfect and linking back everything from the meeting way is listening, receiving the way, waiting for the perfect timing for their friend to be initiated now is just keeping your mind and your children the next generation in the publisher that was part of how tells how you went to the publisher. It's everything came actually sounds like I thank Larry and myself. NCM Amy Bennett said holiday financing is probably unique.

I have a different path and I think wouldn't be fun to boldly stand on the way to influence the children of this generation at their unique and perfect and I think people need to get back. Reiterate this wholesome message because in the schools and society in the Praxair eating clean any compass in this life that you, Julie, again from a I know a lot of folks were there. Think about you write a book illustrator that's a huge thing if you go to children's book and you found one but also on the publisher. How did that happen for you. You know what you're feeling.

If you want to get that 50 publisher and within one week. You got there like talking on the pocket you can probably figure it out my mouth quiet left that I don't know how publishers rank, but I at least got a Christian-based publisher Gary Plath from glory to glory. No go from there.

I never never had greater public got all the glory of God all over that, given the glory. I really do hope it changes the heart the children beware.

You might they call me back in seven days think that is awesome again.

Looks and boots meet Jesus which suits and find out I did them. She does have a wonderful site there on on Facebook. In the case of Joe's hair grow.

There is also that their kingdom pursuits and she's got a really neat website, which is simply Joe's hair growth. But that is is he points out its various and and really I am so blessed to hear the stories and I know that if you are listening in your thinking God put this you know you "step out in faith insane. Okay God and start praying, send me the illustrator and have your eyes open because they're coming or send me the publisher tell me how to go about doing whatever it isn't yet again it may be something completely different than the children's book but God put something on your heart that you know is your passion, and he wants to use that to build the kingdom and when you do you go on adventures you find yourself on radio shows you never thought you'd be ontologically it's it's it's really really cool and it's funny for me. I years ago, way before*the Christian cargo. So I wrote a screenplay that I felt God put on my heart to write, call the Christian form that was actually for children's a screenplay and I spent two years writing it and I put all the right format mall and I started to send it out to all these different agents to see if I can find a literary agent and I finally got a letter back from this agent that he wanted to read it send out to all. One night as it is this Robert Gilmore, the author of the farmer you have to listen to Julie thank you for Diane, have you guys on Truth Network journey starts here and now it's all about is
