Sheep & Goat Go To The Ice Cream Parlor Is A Fun Book That Teaches Selfless Love
Our fun-filled book is all about showing love. In fact, it contrasts living a life of selfless love with selfishness in a very enjoyable way -- to give children a foundation for Christ-like living.
It's based on the Parable in Matthew 25, where Jesus explains he'll come back and separate people like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, based on whether we shared His love with others in need. Now we've made this essential message fun for kids. (If you haven't read the book yet, click here to read a copy.)
Look, Ma, We're On TV!
The fun, friendly, but all-important cross-denominational message of Sheep & Goat was featured on Catholic TV! Check it out by clicking the arrow in the frame below!
First, letters from parents, Church leaders and bookstore owners made us very happy.
Then receiving an Imprimatur was so important to all our Catholic fans.
Now, we've received fan-fare and affection from the great people at Catholic TV and their viewers.
Introducing Another Famous Bible Pair
You may have heard about Daniel & the Lions, Jonah and the Whale, David & Goliath and other Bible pairs. Now we want to introduce you and the children you love to Sheep & Goat.
Following Sheep's example can help our children -- in fact it can help all of us -- appreciate the incredible joy of showing others selfless, Christ-like love.
And if you decide to buy a book, a share of proceeds will go toward funding innovative water filtration and farm irrigation to help the extremely poor around the globe. So you experience the joys of selfless love right from the start.
Get In On The Fun And Share Selfless Love!
We hope everyone who visits here has been living like Sheep -- and not like Goat.
Sheep's always thinking of others; Goat's always thinking about himself.
We all need to live a life of selfless love. The Parable of the Sheep & Goats shows us how. The Parable says we should help people who are hungry, thirsty, sick, lacking clothes, strangers, homeless or in prison.*
Because Jesus said, whenever we do this, we do it for Him!
Jesus says He'll reward all those who show love to others, too!
Share The Book -- And Some Fun -- With Others
We hope you'll be sharing the book with others, too. Because encouraging one another to care for each other is so important. And FUN.
Come On In, Join The Club!
Wecan all get excited about showing others love. In fact, we can encourage each other to be more loving, and experience more joy, by joining the The Sheep & Goat Club.
You might even find Sheep's friend P.I.G. there.
The Club has lots of fun things to do -- games, quizzes and more. Plus, children get to share the ways they've shown love to someone -- or how someone was loving to them.
Did you recently catch someone doing something good and sharing Christ's love? Through the Sheep & Goat Club, you can share how you've caught people showing love to others -- so we can all learn from each other. Now that's cool!
We hope that as you go through this site and visit the Club, you will really enjoy your time with us -- and that it brightens your day a bit.
Kinda like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day.
May God bless you as you live -- and love -- more like Jesus!
