My Friend Withinencourages
children to follow their natural yearning to find God seated in the center or
heart of all things, including themselves, and to take delight in the mysteries
of spirituality. The appealing art work and simple, rhythmic text provide a
gentle way to spark an awareness of what is deeply rooted inside all of us. As
children embrace the idea that “God, my Friend, is within me,” they are setting
the cornerstone of the foundation for their future spiritual lives.
Since
God is in you, everything is possible from within.

Watch Paul Romano, author and
illustrator, talk briefly about the timeless messages waiting for children in
My Friend Within and why we chose this particular book to be our first
publication. We feel, and it is our daily experience, that the ideas contained
in My Friend Within are the single most important principles to
reinforce in children in order to prepare them for a vibrant spiritual future
during rocky, uncertain times.
