The Pumpkin Patch Parable by Liz Curtis Higgs

"A Note to Parents from the Author:
This book is NOT a celebration of Halloween...no ghosts, goblins, demons, witches, or monsters here!
As the mother of two young children, I wanted to offer an alternative message for our kids each autumn, something wholesome, positive and encouraging. Since the Lord Himself created pumpkins, it seemed appropriate to redeem this familiar symbol of the harvest season for His good purpose.
My prayer is that through this simple pumpkin parable your own heart will be filled with the light of God's love and you, too, will 'let yourself glow!'"
