Thursdays with Naomi

This is a storybook for adults. Here you will meet Silly Gunkle, Mimi, Grantie, GiGi and Gramps-all adults, mind you and all real-life characters. Phil, the storyteller, is a middle-aged pastor experienced in imparting spiritual wisdom, whose life is disrupted and forever changed by a precocious three-year-old called Naomi, the book's central character and his granddaughter. Thursdays with Naomi is a wonderfully readable reflection in which both Gramps and Naomi have something keenly important to say. It is a gift to all who have forgotten to make time lately to stand still, to laugh at themselves, to crazy-dance. If that's you, read this book slowly, then listen more closely to this little child and expect to be amazed. Not just for parents and grandparents, but for everyone who wonders what Jesus meant when he said, "The kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
