The Blessed Bunny
The world has so commercialized our Christian holidays that it is easy to lose sight of their true meaning and not realize the subtle shifting of our focus away from Jesus and onto stuff.The Blessed Bunny is a story about a real bunny that was taken from a pet shop and put for sale in a store alongside many other Easter sale items such as baskets, candy, eggs, toys, and more, which the bunny does not understand the purpose for. But when a mom buys the bunny for her little girl, he hears the clerk refer to him as an Easter bunny, which leads him to believe that all the fun things he observed from his cage are what Easter is all about.He then is taken away and ends up at an outside church service where he hears a pastor preaching about a man named Jesus Who came to save people from their sins. As he listens to the sermon, he begins to understand the true meaning of Easter.This story is an attempt to re-center the focus of Easter back on Jesus Christ, being born again, and making the decision to follow Him as we ask Him into our hearts. Renee Jensen was born and raised in Michigan. She is married to her husband, Ron, and has two children, Rachael and Ryan, and four grandsons. Renee is a born-again Christian. She felt led by the Holy Spirit to write a series of children's books. Renee enjoys celebrating the holidays with all of their festivities like most people do, but with marketing efforts focused on and promoting the glitz and glamour that the world seeks to glorify rather than our Savior, she feels the real reason for the celebration becomes skewed or even lost altogether. Her heart, through her books, is to bring that focus back on Jesus, where it belongs.Included: Digging Deeper, a discussion guide for families.

He drew our house too. Our house is a country cottage with lots of rooms. When I drew a picture of our house I showed it to him and asked, "Does Jesus have a house like we do? Daddy, where is Jesus's house? Where does Jesus live?" Daddy answered, "Jesus's house is in my heart. He lives in Daddy's heart. It is a grand house!" Wow! I looked at Daddy and saw a great, big house sitting in his heart. I asked, "Is Mommy's heart Jesus's house too?" Daddy replied, "Yes, Jesus lives in Mommy's heart too." "Daddy," I said, "I want Jesus to make His house in my heart just like you and Mommy! Will Jesus come to live in my heart?" Daddy smiled. "Yes, He will! Just ask Him." "Jesus," I whispered. Here is Your new house, my heart. Please come and live in my heart just like Mommy and Daddy. Thank you, Jesus. I hope You will like Your new house." This story was written to reveal the act of simple acceptance a child demonstrates when receiving Christ as their Personal Savior and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did say that we all must change and become like little children to enter into the kingdom of heaven...(Matthew 18:1-5)

Girl, Recycled!
When did trash become trash? The minute someone didn't want an object anymore? Or when the object was no longer of use to the individual? All trash didn't start out as trash. It was once valuable and had meaning. It was used to hold and protect the most valuable things. Just because someone doesn't want something anymore; or, they don't understand its value or purpose, doesn't mean that the object is trash. Therefore, we must be careful how we discard things. Now, if this is true about things, how much more important is this concept as it relates to you and me and other Princesses who will read this book. So many times, we devalue ourselves and those around us. And when we fail to take the time to know our true selves, we make hasty decisions, misuse our opportunities and ourselves to the point of abuse, all because we failed to behold the beauty that was buried by layers of deceit, hurt and pain! When I can't see my own beauty, everything around me becomes distorted - my lens then becomes the lens of someone else. When this happens, a TRANSFORMATION of the mind MUST take place. Girl, Recycled! is a parable that illustrates this TRANSFORMATION in the lives of eight girls. It compares the recycling process of everyday products to the spiritual transformation of girls.
