Discouraged from school, the world, and her own mistakes, Lily Lightfoot retreats to the woods in search of an answer to one of God's difficult commands-to love enemies.
In the thick of the woodland realm, a mysterious lamb appears after Lily prays. He leads the way into an enchanted world where an angellike woman adorned with butterflies introduces Lily to nine wise friends. The angel promises to guard Lily and the friends speak encouraging words.
But will Lily hear God's wisdom in time to help a troubled soul? Will she learn to love an enemy as God commands? Sail with Lily over the turbulent waves of Gala Lake to the deep places of the heart where hearing is only made better by doing.
Additional Information
The Long Skip Home is a Christian upper middle grade fantasy debut novel written and illustrated by Lisa Belknap. Young readers eight and older will travel with twelve-year-old Lily Lightfoot into an enchanted world to learn how the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit help Lily face trials. Having the ears to hear the Word of God and the heart to feel the promptings of her Creator's Counselor, Lily is encouraged to love an enemy. Even though her patience is tried and rude offenses stack against her, there is power within to overlook all of them and be gracious. God goes before Lily, helping her walk in her integrity. A story about out-of-this-world help, the fantasy The Long Skip Home shows how loving a relationship with the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, is. Blessed with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, readers can learn with Lily that a life trusting the Spirit of God is the best life.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25
