Good morning and welcome in Jesus' name. I'm from the beautiful city, of Cape Town, in South Africa. First and foremost Jesus is my all. I enjoy nature as God dwells with nature, He is the God of nature and the Creator of all. By the amazing grace of God, I have spent over 15 years in ministry. Back in 2001, my journey took an exciting turn when the Lord divinely instructed me to go and learn and grow under the guidance of my mentor, Prophet TB Joshua. It's been such a privileged journey of witnessing the Book of Acts come alive. My mission? To make a difference as an effective witness - changing lives through the ability and strength of Jesus Christ, and by sharing His Good News, the message of hope to this world. The life lessons and wisdom gathered on my journey I pour into the children's books I have the joy of co-authoring. These aren't just storybooks; they're treasures of divine wisdom, sparked by the Holy Spirit, and deeply rooted in God's Word. Children are the leaders of tomorrow. We all have to concern ourselves with training and inspiring our future leaders, following the instruction of Proverbs 22:6, to train kids in the way of the Lord. In a world that's thirsty for hope and truth, we're called to be bold witnesses of God's incredible love and truth, fueled not by our own understanding but by God's revelation knowledge and His power. Here's my little nudge to you. Develop your relationship with Jesus, by daily reading His Word and by meditating on it, and doing what it says; then you will make your way prosperous (Joshua 1:8). Hey, let's get our kids to see the Bible, the Living Word of God, not just as a book, but the Book of books and as the ultimate Roadmap to life. Stay in faith and stay connected to Jesus. God bless you. Sybrand JvRHere at Ciana Publishers, we're all about igniting a love for Jesus Christ and creating an atmosphere for faith to grow in young hearts. 'Ciana' means God is gracious.

I'm the co-author who has the pleasure of collaborating with Sybrand JvR on these delightful books. My background? I've been a teacher for the past 15 years, and for a decade of that, I joyfully taught Sunday school in Cape Town, South Africa. It was so much more than teaching; it was a passion that filled my heart.Now, as a parent to two wonderful grown-up kids, I've taken my experiences and love for nurturing young minds to a new avenue - writing books. Each story and rhyme in our books is a reflection of the lessons and values I cherished while teaching my Sunday school students. I always had them in my thoughts, imagining what would inspire and guide them in their Christian journey with Jesus.Every Word of God is Spirit and life. When you receive and obey the Word of God, the power of God works in you. - TB JoshuaWriting these books has been an enriching journey for me, combining my love for teaching with my passion for storytelling. I aimed to create books that not only entertain but also impart meaningful lessons and values. My hope is that these stories resonate with children and parents alike, fostering a love for reading and a deeper connection with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.Remain blessed.
