The Trinity

The Bible clearly teaches that there is only one God but it also refers to each PERSON of the Trinity as God.  This can be a very difficult concept for adults, even more so for children, to grasp. My first book,  "Shimmy-Shimmy Shamrock and the Legend of the Leaves"  introduces young readers to the concept of the Trinity.

I'm Shimmy-Shimmy Shamrock.

St. Patrick came to preach.

He found a three-leaf clover

and knew what it could teach.

He held the clover overhead

and asked the Irish crowd,

"Is this one leaf or is it three?"
"It's both!" they cried aloud.

"You're right," St. Patrick answered,

"and so it is with God.

He's Three and One -- Father, Spirit, and Son."

They all began to nod.

When I read to groups or classrooms of children, I am sometimes asked to give a follow-up lesson on the subject of the Trinity.  I am excited, yet challenged, to deliver. The existence of the Trinity is a subject I once skimmed over because of its difficulty in understanding and explanation.  Then, I realized that getting a full understanding of the Trinity is getting to know God more fully.

This is a lesson I desire to receive and to share with whomever I am given the honor to speak. I hope that everyone who reads my children's book will be intrigued with this same desire to learn more about the PERSONS of God. This will be an ever-evolving lesson, as we grow and learn more about Him.

As I increase in the knowledge of who our God IS, I will share with you here.  Join with me in becoming more intimately acquainted with our Godhead, "Three Are One", and invite your children (or parents) to join, too. Who knows? There may come another book from our discoveries!
