The Silent Knight of Wordishure — Mick McArt

What is Wordishure? It is the story of Isaac, a young boy who wants to become a knight of Wordishure. I wrote this story as an encouragement for children to find the talents that God gave them. I also wanted to emphasize the importance of the Nativity. This story was written for children of all ages and can be enjoyed by parent and child alike. This adventure includes Biblical lessons that will inspire the reader and also start a dialogue between parent and child about God and personal accountability. Children tend to have a natural love for Jesus Christ, but sometimes they grow away from Him as they get older because they never truly got to know him. Some just seem to love Him because they sit in church every Sunday and they see that their parents are pleased when they say they love Him. Children need to get to know Jesus at a level they can understand, and that their decision to follow Him requires a willingness to change their heart and behavior. I have written The Silent Knight Of Wordishure because I have seen very few pieces of Christian literature that are written in the style of children's classics such as "The Ugly Duckling," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Hansel and Gretel," or "The 3 Little Pigs." The Lord used parables to help people understand the mysteries of God. The Silent Knight Of Wordishure does the same thing, but at a level that children can understand and have fun with at the same time. There is no magic in Wordishure. Today's popular children's literature emphasizes the use of witchcraft, numbing the child at an early age to think that it is okay. The land of Wordishure is an alternative. There are fantastic situations in the story, but all are resolved through prayer, proper decisions by the characters, and trust in the Lord. Children need to know at an early age not to put their trust in secular fantasies, but to trust in sound Biblical doctrine. Where is Wordishure? It is an imaginary realm where modern technology does not exist. It is a world seen from a child's point of view. In the land of Wordishure, His Word is sure. Are there adults in these stories? There are parents in all the story, and although never named, they are seen as wise and to be obeyed. Are there wicked villains in Wordishure? There are no true villains or fear of death in Wordishure, only the misunderstood, or creatures that have lost their way from following God's Word. What is the age range for the reader? Children of all ages call enjoy The Silent Knight Of Wordishure. The characters in the stories fire up the imagination of the smallest child, while word play and Christian principles hold the attention of the older kids and adults. Why is there a scripture verse at the beginning of the story? The story is built around Matthew 2:10, and why it was so important for everyone to follow the star. If you ever want to find Christ, you must move in the direction of His light.
