About this ebook
Charming devotions for all ages to read and to share…
In a beautiful wooded glen on the side of a mountain lies the little village of Feather Hill. And in the very middle of the village is the Church of the Hollow Stump, where the pastor, the Opossum Paul, and everybody’s favorite Sunday school teacher, Grannie Annie Owl, teach the birds and animals about God and how God wants us to live our lives.
Children of all ages will delight in the charming tales told of the characters who live in Feather Hill, while learning valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, and the grace of God.
About the author
Jean Dodds has worked in a variety of occupations—as a secretary, a Realtor, a teacher, a fund-raising consultant, a lay pastor—but it is as a storyteller and a writer that she brings Parables of the Opossum Paul to those who are looking for a devotional suitable to share with young children. The simple, ecumenical messages have been enjoyed by all ages from preschool children to senior citizens.
Jean has had many opportunities to present children’s messages: as the co-pastor of a mission church, while conducting chapel services in an Episcopal school, as a guest preacher in various churches throughout the country while working with Church Financial Campaign Service, while giving the children’s message in worship on Sunday mornings, and as a guest speaker at senior citizens’ luncheons and retirement centers. When making presentations, Jean uses puppets to tell the stories, and children (of all ages!) have loved being the puppeteers. She is now retired and lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.
