In just two weeks, on April 19, I'm releasing my first children's book, the Creator in youn. Now, when I say children's book, people assume this is cute or cartoony. It is none of those things, I promise. It is an epic retelling of Genesis 1 and 2, designed to help your kids view their current and their future work with God, ordained purpose and joy. Now, I'm gonna play the audio for the trailer of this book in just a second, but trust me, please believe me when I say this. You cannot understand what this book is until you see the incredible artwork from my illustration partner, Jonathan David. So if you want to see and not just hear this sneak preview, head on over to jordanraynor.com trust me, you'll be glad you did. But all right, without further ado, for those of you who just want to listen to the audio, Here's a quick 90 second preview of the Creator in you in the very beginning A long time ago, God created the world so that we would all know that He Himself is a working God. Though you might think that sounds just a little bit odd, he grabbed a big brush and painted the stars and dressed up the sky with Saturn and Mars. Before his day off, God had one more to do on his sixth day of creating, God chose to make you because while at six days God created a lot, there are so many things that he simply did not. Like bridges and baseballs, sandcastles and s'. Mores. God asked us to create and fill the planet with more. So roll up your sleeves and build epic tree forts and someday build cities and towers and ports. Create new businesses, movies, medicine and hope. Make laws or computers or a new telescope. Because when you work or you make something new, you are doing what God has made you to do. And when you show others the Creator in you, you bring joy to the world and to your father too. I hope you guys are as excited as I am to get this book out into the world. Hey, the Creator in youn will not be out until April 19, but if you pre order the book right now, I'm going to send you these beautiful signed dedication stickers with your kids names on them so that they could stick it inside of their books. And if your kids are like mine, the two things they love most in this world are number one, receiving physical mail and number two stickers. And we're checking all the boxes with this pre order incentive. So step one go get the Creator in you on Amazon or wherever you buy your books. And then step two, head on over to JordanRaynor.com, fill out the form there, and I'll send you as many of these stickers as you want.
