GRIFF LEDOUX HAD ALWAYS SWEPT HER OFF HER FEET And he did it again, just as Tessa Blake was getting ready to walk down the aisle. He threw her over his shoulder, wedding gown and all, and carried her right out of the church—and demanded to know why she was marrying someone she couldn’t possibly love…. The moment he touched her, she felt like a young girl again—the lovesick woman he’d once walked away from without a backward glance. But what could they have between them, after all these years? And what would he do if he knew she was marrying for the sake of a child—a child he’d never known was his…?

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches." -Matthew 13: 31-32 In this parable, Jesus talks about how the smallest seed can and does, grow into the largest plant. For religious educators, it is a reminder that no matter how small the thought, action, or word anything can have a lasting impact. In And the Hits Keep Coming, Christopher Poulsen offers the reader a glimpse at many mustard seeds he has encountered in his life. He uses narrative theology, story, to relate his own lived experience to the biblical message of Christ by breaking open his own life. He shares some of the deepest, saddest, and joyous moments in his life and shows how they relate to Christ and religious education. As a religious educator, Christopher understands the importance of story and how relating your own authenticity can help your students to learn and grow. This book serves two purposes: 1. It provides examples for the rest of us to use and 2. It shows us how is unique approach can help us all to be more effective educators.
