Linda the Ladybug Goes to Heaven (ePub)

In writing the story Linda the Ladybug Goes to Heaven, it was my desire to help young readers envision what Heaven will be like.  Linda the Ladybug is a small little insect that children can relate to.  She is very excited about her discoveries, yet apprehensive as well.  For example her tiny lady bug fears come to surface, when she accidentally lands among a habitation of lions and is concerned that she might turn into lion lunch.  It turns out well however, because beside the lions were many lambs.  Linda the Ladybug soon realizes that there is nothing to fear.  She learns to enjoy her predicament by petting and playing with her new found friends.

My main objective in writing Linda the Ladybug Goes to Heaven, was to bring the gospel message to children in a way that they could relate to, understand and become excited about.  Ever since I was a young Christian, I have been drawn to learning more about Heaven.  I would often enjoy fantasizing what it would be like to walk on streets made of gold, to possibly fly with angel wings, to see beauty beyond belief and to continuously experience the love of God.

This story helps readers to understand that we as Christians do not have to fear death.  Matter of fact, God's word - the Bible, shows us that the best is yet to come!  Linda the Ladybug Goes to Heaven is my attempt to give readers a tour of Heaven though the eyes of this small, apprehensive insect.  As a result, we can learn from the example of Linda the Ladybug.  That by having a relationship with the owner of Heaven - Jesus, some day we too can live Happily Ever After for all eternity.
