Author and educator, Tabitha Nance, was inspired to write this story to affirm in her two sons their worth and identity in Christ to protect "The Gift," as God's most beloved gift. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above..." Each gift holds a valuable plan and purpose and has a perfect set time it should be given. This book is a framework for parents to speak truth, blessing, and the language of love to their child. "The Gift," reminds children, "You are precious. You are protected. You are God's perfect gift created with purpose! Parents can stop avoiding the conversation and embrace the beauty and value of, "The Gift," of salvation, purity, marriage, parenthood and legacy. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ABOUT THE AUTHOR Tabitha Nance lives in the mountains of western North Carolina, with her husband, Rev.
