Quitman Author Julie Ann Patrick Releases Children’s Book “Honk If You Love Jesus”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Julie Ann Patrick, an author from Quitman, Georgia, has released a new children’s book, "Honk If You Love Jesus," published through Christian Faith Publishing. The story follows a brother-and-sister pair of goslings who join their Sunday School class and Christian guidance counselors on a journey south to vacation Bible school, learning to form the letter V to guide their flock along the way.

According to the publisher’s description, the book uses the goslings’ migration as a way to introduce young readers to themes of faith, teamwork, and what it describes as God’s presence in both people and nature. The story also works in what the publisher calls spoofs of movies, television personalities, and familiar nursery rhyme rhythms, aimed at holding the attention of both children and the parents reading along with them. The book is categorized as juvenile fiction.

Patrick, who still lives on her family’s farm in Quitman, is a mother of three and grandmother of five. The announcement describes her as a longtime teller of stories within her own family, and says her writing is shaped by her Christian faith. "My greatest joy in writing this book has been sharing with children how Jesus is the source of true victory in our lives," Patrick said in the announcement. "Through the journey of these goslings, I hope young readers discover that when we form ourselves into the shape of faith, we can soar to incredible heights."

The book is available through Christian Faith Publishing’s website, in bookstores, and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes Store, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady, long-running stream of faith-based children’s titles aimed less at the bestseller list than at Sunday School shelves and family bookcases, a niche with its own loyal, if quiet, readership.
