Here is part of a sample chapter:

 

BLIND MAN

 

Elam was a blind man. He had been blind all his life. Some people would be mad because they were blind. Elam was not.

 

Elam said he could “see” things through his hands. He knew vegetables were crispy, so he decided green was a crispy color. He knew the sun was warm, so he decided yellow was a warm color. He also felt the shape of things. So, he didn’t need to see.

 

He had a friend who didn’t believe in God because he couldn’t see God. Elam told his friend that was silly. He could see the world around him and know someone at some time made it.

 

He knew wind existed, even though no one can see wind. And he knew his friend existed, even though he couldn’t see his friend.

 

Since Elam could not earn money for himself, he sat at the gate of the Temple and asked people to share some of their money. They felt sorry for him, so they helped him.

 

One day Jesus came to the Temple and stopped to talk to Elam. He told Elam that he had lived his whole life blind so he could find out just how powerful God was.

 

Then Jesus healed the man. Elam could see! He was so excited. He ran home and told his neighbors and parents and everyone.

 

When the Temple leaders found out, they called Elam to a meeting. They tried to get him to say he wasn’t really ever blind. Elam would not change what he was telling people. He kept saying Jesus performed the miracle….
