Faith and friendship over summer

Ten-year-old Abigail is excited to spend summer with Maggie, but a boundary at Maggie’s home means she cannot attend Bible Club and conversations about Jesus are not allowed there. The dilemma gives the story its focus: Abigail considers how to express Christ’s love through her actions while navigating hope, frustration, fear and joy. Summer activities—including building a lighthouse, a contest for ice cream and swimming—frame Abigail’s questions about sharing faith. The book also presents prayer, perseverance and the idea that Jesus’ love, as described in the story, shines into believers’ hearts and through them to others. It is the fifth book in the Abigail series.

Book overview

What does it look like for kids to share the gospel with their friends? Join 10-year-old Abigail as she discovers God's power to save and learns about showing Christ's love to others in word and deed.

In this relatable story, Abigail is delighted to spend her summer hanging out with elegant, imaginative, up-for-anything Maggie! But, to Abigail's disappointment, Maggie isn't allowed to come to Bible Club. In fact, it turns out that talking about Jesus is banned in Maggie's house. So how can Abigail share Jesus' love with Maggie in other ways? Alongside Abigail, readers will...

  • Enjoy summer experiences like building a lighthouse, competing to win ice cream and splashing in a pool
  • Navigate emotions common to sharing the gospel with unbelievers, like hope, frustration, fear and joy
  • Discover what it means that Jesus' love first shines into our hearts to save us and then shines through us to others

Kids will be inspired to consider the challenges and joys of sharing faith with others, as well as to be fervent in prayer and persevering in hope as they participate in the Great Commission. This fun, exciting novel is the fifth in the Abigail series!
