Before I Was Me

"Oh, my little one,
I have great plans for you!
I have chosen you to be
a very important person
whom I will always love."

This beautifully illustrated, delightful story of an imaginary conversation between God and an unborn baby will lead children to see that from the very moment God gave them a soul at conception, He had great plans for them.

In this charming odyssey of self-discovery, the child imagines himself as an astronaut, a baker, a farmer, a doctor, a teacher, a parent, and a child . . . important simply for who he is -- a child whom God will always love.

In his three books for Sophia Press, Frank Fraser has written and illustrated fun-filled journeys that explore our relationship with the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Before I was Me, God the Father shows his everlasting and tender love for an unborn child. In Already There, our shepherd leads a little lost lamb and the reader on a journey of experiencing Jesus' mercy and the unbelievable joy of following him. And in Vincent, a book without words, the Holy Spirit helps a little character, and us, understand what true love is and that "What you give to others...will return to you." Mark 4:24
