Let me tell you about a man from the Bible named John. His temper, once fierce as lightning, was gently transformed by the love of Jesus. Now let me tell you John's story.' — page 16 'How happy was Zacchaeus? He wanted to shout "Yahoo!" a hundred times. It felt as if the whole world had turned pink, as if he were flying through the sky. Ah, Mommy and Daddy know just how that feels — because that's exactly how we felt when we found out our baby was growing inside Mommy's tummy. Do you understand that feeling — shouting "Yahoo!" a hundred times in a world turned pink, as if flying through the sky?' — page 48 'Before long, the sun peeked out with a gentle smile. King Darius rushed to the lions' den early in the morning. He called out loudly for Daniel... And to his amazement, it truly was Daniel's voice! Could King Darius have been dreaming? Even King Darius thought it must have been a dream.' — page 55
