Armor Up
Armor Up teaches children the importance of putting on the spiritual armor of God at the beginning of each day. It breaks down the biblical concept in a way that is easy for children to understand and apply to their own lives. Leonhardt hopes that by learning these principles, children will no longer live in fear but will walk throughout life feeling confident, protected, and unafraid. "Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."Ephesians 6: 13-17About the AuthorJordan Leonhardt is a seventh grade English Language Arts teacher in a small town in Northern Alabama. As an educator, her goal is to create a safe and loving atmosphere for all of her students. She is married to her high school sweetheart, Chris, and together they enjoy spending time with family and friends, exercising to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and travelling to new destinations. The most important aspect of Leonhardt's life is her love for Jesus Christ. Her Christian faith is the foundation of her life, and she believes The Lord planted a specific seed in her heart to write this children's book.

Georgie!
Stories of my youth taught me that God can speak to our hearts in dreams, just like He did in Scripture. I also learned that this usually happens at night when we are asleep! I love it when God awakens me and says, "Get up and write this down!" That happened in my earlier book, Lo & Behold: A Christmas Story.Georgie is another story from my dream life. It is a mixture of childhood memories which take shape in the characters and events in the story--fishing with my father in the trout streams of Colorado; my husband's fishing adventures with his father as they just sat on the bank, waiting for a nibble; my brother's finding our black-and-white sheepdog at the Safeway store in Denver; a poem of a friend named "Mike."These memories woven together with Bible verses and values I learned as a girl gave way to this story of God's grace in my life. I hope this little story will encourage those who read it to follow their dreams and know that God does answer and give them the desires of their hearts, especially when it is to help someone else!I dedicate this book to our great-grandchildren, Addy and Connor!

The Good Artist
When kids ask tough questions about life, it can feel incredibly humbling as a parent to try and come up with a perfect response. Inspired by a real (imperfect) family conversation, The Good Artist was originally written as a personal gift from mother to son as a birthday present intended to memorialize the divine conversation we had concerning race and adoption. However, it became clear during the historic civil uprising in America in May of 2020 that this issue is affecting more than our family. I became compelled to share this story with other bi-racial families, not as an expert on race relations, but as a personal testimony of how we started the conversation of celebrating racial differences and being actively anti-racist through love and faith. I hope this book helps you and your family start your own conversation that changes the world for the next generation to live in deep unity.

I See God in Everything
My mommy always taught me to believe in the One who created the stars, the moon, and the trees.I See God in Everything is another reading-made fun story with the playful rhythm that dives into the imagination and the reality of a young girl and how she sees God in the big world around her. We are traveling more in-depth into the digital age, and our kids are immersed more into all the technology that's easily accessible to their little fingertips. Most certainly, technology is the future, but no matter what technical advances humankind makes, it's essential that our kids get to know the beautiful world around them and disconnect from the video games, the supreme grid, and connect with our Heavenly Father. It is refreshing for them to know that God created everything around them and to give thanks. God still loves us and shows us each day. I believe It's enriching and unforgettable for kids to have an awareness of God in their lives at an early age. The more children discover God in the world around them, the more they will grow up to understand him. This awareness and love for God will carry them throughout their entire lives and forever be their guiding light. I see God in the whole wide world, and like a ballerina, he causes her to slowly twirl.
