	Davie Shares the Healing Power of God by Reneesha Parrish-Nnaji (Softcover) Code: DSHPOG-Softcover Price: $12.95 Quantity in Basket: none
Join Davie Divinity Dove as he shares the healing power of God with his friends. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed" (1 Peter 2:24) “But He was wounded for our transgressions, [He was] bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed" About the Author - Reneesha Parrish-Nnaji Is a graduate of the Word of Faith International Christian Bible Training Center. I grew up in a Christian home and was continuously surrounded by the Word of God from a young age and I believe that is why I am, who I am today. I also feel, as Christians we are responsible for sharing the “faith” with the next generation and to assure that they are taught the word of God—the younger the better. God’s word will change lives when it is taught, read and understood. When I was accepted as a student at the Bible Training Center, I understood why I was there; and that was to learn more about God and to learn how to effectively communicate His word to people at their level. I am passionate about children learning the right things (God’s Word and Way of doing things) so they can grow up to be productive adults with a reverence for God. The Davie Shares The Power Series is God’s word at an age appropriate level for young believers. It was inspired by God to transform and counteract the media that could negatively influence the behavior of our Christian children. My ultimate prayer is that the first book in this series, Davie Shares the Healing Power of God, helps to take the focus off the evil, sickness, disease and lack in the world and give children hope and help build their faith to believe what God says in His Word, about who they are, and what the Word promises us.
