Book excerpt: AAAGGGHHH! Puff, Puff, Pant, Puff! It's Basil the Branch hard at work! If you think bearing fruit is a tough job then take a deep breath, wiggle your shoulders and start reading this story. Based on John 15:1-8, this a great story for teaching kids about fruitful living. When Jesus wanted to change lives he told stories. That's what we do at Lost Sheep - and at the centre of our stories is Jesus. Some stories are about him, some are by him, but all of them point to him. We take the spirituality of children seriously but also believe the gospel is fun. Lost Sheep create resources to assist parents, teachers and children's workers build the faith of kids in Australia and around the world. Fresh, vivid and attention-grabbing. These stories touch the heart and illuminate the mind. Great work! - Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author
