April 27, 2023A new kids’ book by an award-winning Catholic author invites readers into a fictional tale that encourages both kids and adults to embrace the grace of Reconciliation.
New from Ascension Press is A Miracle for Micah, by Claudia Cangilla McAdam and illustrated by Gina Capaldi. The hardback, 32-page, fully illustrated read-aloud picture book allows children to slip on the sandals of a child who may have lived at the time of Jesus.
In A Miracle for Micah, a boy named Micah lives in Capernaum at the time of Jesus and sneaks onto Peter’s rooftop to steal fish.
He witnesses the miraculous ways Jesus heals people, and when the Lord catches Micah in his thievery, the boy comes to realize how his sinful actions hurt many.
Through repentance and the bountiful mercy and forgiveness of Jesus, Micah becomes part of a very special miracle.
A Miracle for Micah is the newest book in a long line of faith-based titles for kids and teens authored by McAdam.
McAdam has an undergraduate degree in English and a master’s degree in theology from the Augustine Institute in Denver. She has authored more than two dozen books, and her faith-based titles invite children to learn, love, and live their faith.
Since childhood, McAdam has wondered what it would have been like to meet Jesus when He walked the earth. The characters she creates in her books frequently get to do just that, including the main character in A Miracle for Micah.
Praise for the book:Readers will enjoy this moving tale of God's merciful love and forgiveness. A Miracle for Micah is a perfect read in preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation or anytime.
