According to the authors, “Uncle Dan’s Present is meant to encourage nieces and nephews, children and grandchildren, and all God’s children wherever they are in a fun way. It uses several literary devices—acronyms, rhymes, anecdotes, aphorisms, and even an acrostic—to bring uplifting thoughts to mind and to make them easy to remember.
“The book points to the Bible as our guidebook for living and to Jesus as the One who shows us how to honor God, to have an attitude of gratitude, to live for others, and to love others as ourselves.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dan Ziatz and Gloria Ziatz Sherman’s new book is a delightful collection of pithy sayings that will help readers remember key tenets of the Christian faith.
