Have You Seen Enoch?

"Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." (Genesis 5:24, NIV)
Perhaps one of the most provocative lines of Scripture, the small passage above depicts a man's personal relationship with the living God and prefigures the Rapture of the Church.
But exactly where did Enoch go? How did his departure affect his friends? What does it mean to "walk" with God? And how can a complex concept like the Rapture be brought down to a level that little children can easily understand?
Using a child's greatest motivator, curiosity, Have You Seen Enoch? travels back to biblical times and imagines the story of a young child's search for a friend, Enoch, who has disappeared. With each person whom this child encounters, the strength of Enoch's relationship-his "walk"-with God is revealed. As not much is known about the historical Enoch other than that he pleased God, Jesus' description of the righteous in Matthew 25:34-40 is used as the basis for Enoch's character.
Packaged in a rhyme-and-repetition format that makes building godly character fun, this book will delight little ones as they follow the trail of Enoch's footprints throughout the story to discover where he went, all the while learning what it means to walk with and please God and fulfill the greatest commandment: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" (Luke 10:27, NIV)
To further reinforce the message, application questions at the back of the book will help children think of ways that they can emulate Enoch and live out their own personal lifelong journey of "walking with God."
