 I See God Waiting for Someone to Talk To Carlynn Carang, age 13 |
Shelly Mecum and her students had a dream - and
enough courage and faith to make their dream soar. Tirelessly
optimistic and fiercely determined to save the struggling Ewa Beach
elementary school on Oahu, Hawaii, Mecum mobilized a community to realize
her vision: a spiritual quest for God and a brave book-writing
adventure. Some 168 young children and their families, ranging from
five to eighty years old, toted cameras, notebooks, and pencils across the
island by bus, trolley, and glass-bottom boat. Their mission? To
find God. And - each in their own way - they did: in palm trees and
koi ponds, on rugged shores, in the Hard Rock Cafe, and in one another.
Here are their surprising snapshots and inspiring observations, offering unforgettable moments of grace. Proof that no dream is too big, this story will capture the hearts of everyone who wants to know how to find God. |
