Do you really need a savior? Not when you have lots of readings scrolls and a colossal hat to prove how smart you are! Or so decides one Wise Man who skips the journey to greet the newborn Savior. But years later, in Jerusalem to replace his precious pillow, he discovers that being smart isn’t the same as being wise . . . and that the greatest wisdom of all is recognizing your need for a savior.
Do you really need a savior? Not when you have lots of reading scrolls and a colossal hat to prove how smart you are! Or so decides one Wise Man who skips the journey to greet the newborn Savior he doesn’t need. Even the excitement of his fellow Wise Men upon their return isn’t enough to convince him.
But years later, when he heads to Jerusalem to replace his precious pillow, he discovers that being smart isn’t the same as being wise. With bouncy rhyme and a furry orange friend to find in each picture, The Big Hat Wise Man shows children that the greatest wisdom of all is recognizing your need for a savior.
This author/illustrator impressively blends (1) beautiful pictures, (2) a story kids can follow, (3) whimsical rhymes, (4) the gospel message, (5) a moral lesson without being moralistic. Parents or people in children’s ministry know that in a Christian book, you almost NEVER get all five of those elements. You’re lucky to get two or three, but this book shoots 5/5. As an added theological bonus, Christmas is kept in its biblical perspective: leading to the cross, empty tomb, and making sinners into a new creation. Don’t hesitate to buy the book outside of the Advent season, because although the story begins at Christmas and deals with a character type in those biblical narratives, it is wide enough in focus to work any time of year.

Cute book with beautiful illustrations that presents the Gospel in a fun, kid-friendly way!
I've been around Christian publishing since 1987 when I helped our ministry self-publish an important resource for Vietnam veterans and their families. That book went on to be picked up by a royalty publisher and has since sold over 250,000 copies with a million in print.
I'm glad you're here…stop by often and take advantage of all the information we make available.

Are you eager to write your first book? Perhaps you’ve launched one book but have an idea for a second or a third. If you’re uncertain what the next step looks like on the path from concept to completed manuscript, we can help.
Our Jumpstart! class explores subjects such as finding inspiration, sorting through ideas, how to begin, using personal examples, writing a powerful opening, avoiding writer’s block, and other useful topics. It will orient you toward publishing success.
Please join us for this friendly, informative four-week clinic, where aspiring and established writers receive warm, online professional group coaching to help them get started.
Okay, you’ve got a book underway, or your idea is at the ready. Excellent! But sometimes, as you write, you wonder, is this going any place? Am I doing this right? Maybe you have writer’s block or would like professional guidance and encouragement to help you progress through your manuscript.
We can do that!
Our six-week program consists of the coach and the author putting their heads together and taking the book from the idea, or beginning, stages, through a completed framework for the book. The coach guides the author through each week’s writing and preparation and returns the author’s submission with thorough, encouraging, and detailed notes. The following day, the coach and author meet online or by phone to discuss the week’s work, clarify anything that needs explanation, brainstorm solutions, and build the author’s confidence.
We like to make custom recommendations based on your manuscript and message, so it helps us to learn more about you and actually review the manuscript in order to come up with a publishing strategy.
