Description
Effortlessly Create Lasting Memories with Your Godson
Explain where God shows up for you in your life
Millions of parents cannot be wrong. A Godparent is a valuable person in a child’s life.
What if you aren’t able to visit your Godchild due to health or distance? How do you keep creating memories and connections with your young family?
Mimi’s Letters to her Godchild open the door to repeat encouraging and engaging conversations about Our Heavenly Father. These can be the most important 5 minutes you spend with your Godchild on a regular basis when you recall how and when God showed up for you.
Create a Firm Foundation For Your Godchild
Each letter addresses one question about Our Heavenly Father and encourages the Godparent to become a co-author. In between the chapters are two or three blank pages where you and your child can add in recollections of your own.
Your Godchild will look forward to the times where you sit down together in real life or through Zoom or Skype and discuss where God shows up for you. It’ll be fun to create a record together in the ‘Letters to My Godson book.
This will be a wonderful legacy to leave behind for your Godchild, who will treasure your contribution for years to come.

Richard L, Reviewer
This is a wonderful concept. Taking one’s Baptismal responsibilities seriously of both praying for and encouraging your godchildren to follow God.
The book works for other adult relationships too as the whole essence is one of nurturing and supporting children to seek and learn about their place in the family and the wider world.
The letters are heart warming and ooze love. Stopping way short of the sloppy smooching stuff. They are filled with family stuff, illustrations and strong links to aid understanding with references to Auntie Mimi’s dog.
What I liked especially was the concept of a record with the letters in a book and space for other family and friends to add comments and testimonies.
A lot of ground is covered, but this is still only Book 1.
However the lasting feature is the recording of scriptures to read and understand. To see the words and appropriate them to ones own life and believe, is fundamental in seeking and finding God. The author has plenty of links for further exploring, intended for parents and those sharing this book with their kids.
I also liked the inclusiveness of the references between the three major religions which should encourage wider appreciation of other faiths.
Sometimes a baptismal service for our children seems like something that is a Christian tradition but no longer relatable with modern church going and the need for Sunday school. This would make for a perfect gift in those situations where parents still present their children to be Christened. In a wider context though it has great value as it promotes some basic religious understanding and quite fundamental Christian teaching.
