This Children's book is based on the story I (Bryan) often tell that led me to write the well known children's song, "Wherever Love Is" about 35 years ago. You can listen to and purchase that simple song on my "Bugs For Lunch!" recording. It's actually one of my best known songs so don't be surprised if you've already heard it.

When my daughter Emma was about 3 years old (she just turned 40!) she asked me, "Daddy, where is God?" At first I told her that God is everywhere, but I could tell that didn't help her much. I then remembered the verse from 1 John 4 that tells us that "God is love." So I told Emma that since the Bible says that God is Love, then God is wherever love is. A few minutes later she then exclaimed in her ridiculously cute 3 year old voice, "Daddy, God's in me!" And when I said, "You're right--how do you know?" She blurted out, "Because I love you Daddy!" I know...almost too sweet to be true but then again, you've never met my daugther--she's been that sweet since she entered this world and still is all these years later. AND--she's now a gifted songwriter named Emma Ceurvels, and some of her music is available on the Convergence Music Project website. www.convergencemp.com

So that's how "Wherever Love Is" came into being. When I decided to turn this story into a children's book, I contacted my friend Sherry Favre, a woman of many talents, and asked her if she would be interested in writing a book with me. Sherry is a gifted youth minister, writer, and all around creative whirlwind and I knew she would be a perfect co-writer for a series of books based on my children's music.

Based on that conversation I had with my daughter all those years ago, this book starts out with a simple exchange at the end of the day between a little girl and her dad in response to her question, "Where is God?" She then asks lots of silly questions about where God might be, and ends up with the wonderful realization that God is inside her because her own heart is full of love for her dad, her mom, her dog, and so many other things.

This little book makes a perfect gift for children and parents and grandparents--for anyone with children in their lives. Some pastors give this book to families when a child is baptized in their congregation.

I'm currently sold out of these books myself, so if you'd like to get one, the quickest way right now is through Amazon.
