Bøger af Mark-Anthony Abel

Mark-Anthony Abel is a father and like all fathers, wanted nothing more than to find books that were suitable and exciting for his young children. What could be better than teaching children the importance of kindness and consideration through storytelling? He was lucky that whilst visiting a local church his family had joined he observed the children dressing up as pirates. It was here he had his eureka moment: Could there have been a Christian pirate? What might he have looked like and how would he have behaved? Chris was born and Mark-Anthony's children had a new hero one that was not your typical cape wearing kind.

I have always wanted to write children's books but I had never found the right moment, until the idea for The Christian Pirate popped into my head.I had only just moved into a new community and my family were invited to a local church. The church volunteers had organised a children's activity and dressed the children in pirates outfits. It was in that moment whilst watching the children embracing their roles that i thought, could there have ever been a Christian pirate?I also recognised that children need to be introduced to Jesus Christ in a subtle way and what better than to create a character that you would never consider to be a hero, but you could root for and in doing so, learn so much.It all seemed to make sense and I just hope it will make sense to all that choose to read this book.
