Book Signing Event: Matthew, God, and the Corona Virus

Book Signing Event: Matthew, God, and the Corona Virus
by Andrea D. Hoisl

 

Drop by author Andrea Hoisl's book signing on Saturday, September 18th from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Merciful Saviour Gift Shop, Colchester.

Parents, grandparents and godparents help your children, grandchildren and Godchildren better understand how God is always present in our lives! 

Matthew is a curious little boy whose life has changed dramatically. First his mom and dad bring three baby sisters home from the hospital which turns his world upside down.

People are coming and going every day helping the family adjust to the new additions and just when Matthew gets used to that suddenly everyone disappears and his family is alone again. But their life is different because they can’t leave the house.

As Matthew tries to understand why all this is happening, he learns about the Corona virus and how it affects everyone's life. Matthew curiously questions why God is not around helping everyone because he knows God can do anything.
