Unless You Become Like Children: A Nine-Year-Old's Primer For Life [series]

 

My nine year old son surprised us in the car on the way back from the beach this afternoon with the announcement that he was "writing a book." 

"What about?" I asked

"How to get to Heaven," he replied. 

Okay! This was kind of new. And I had nothing to do with it, didn't put him up to it at all, I promise. We did catch him reading a Matthew Kelly book one day that someone gave me (and which I never had an interest in starting) instead of his assigned school reading, so maybe that got him thinking. Who knows! 

I asked him if he's like me to publish a chapter a day here as he completes them, and he agreed. "You think anyone really wants to read this stuff?"

"Oh, I think a few people might find it interesting" (plus I need a break as I work on some other articles).

So, without delay, the next few days I will be acting as my nine-year-old son's publisher/editor (though I am publishing it in unedited form) and posting a chapter a day. It's as interesting for me to read it as his dad, and I hope you enjoy it as well. 

*Please feel free to comment; I'm sure my son would love to read what you have to say (and I promise to deliver your comments to him aloud)
