My Children Are Friends with Jesus

My Children Are Friends with Jesus
By Gabriel Marcelin

Children everywhere desire to feel protected, loved, and special; Jesus is the most loyal friend they have. "My Children Are Friends with Jesus" is a heartfelt Christian children's book that introduces young readers to Jesus, explaining why He loves them and how they belong to the kingdom of heaven.

Take a moment to breathe, set aside your phone and social media, and instead offer your child the gift of reading this book of faith. It’s never too late for your child to develop reading and writing skills as you did.
Our children and teenagers, from ages 5 to 18, are reading less than ever before. In a world where every screen competes for their attention, this book offers a meaningful way for Christian parents to anchor their hearts, guide their minds, and secure their spiritual future.

Gabriel, a spouse, teacher, and father of three, uses relatable stories for every child, warm family scenes, easy-to-read, easy-to-understand biblical truths, and inspiring lessons to show children they are deeply loved, chosen, and never alone. Guided gently by Scripture, children will learn what it means to be honest, kind, humble, respectful to parents, prayerful, and courageous, qualities that Jesus values in His young friends.

From family prayers to joyful travel adventures, from learning to obey parents to discovering their God-given purpose, young disciples will explore inspiring stories that focus their hearts on Christ and their self-esteem. They will meet children like themselves who pray, forgive, help others, share, make mistakes, learn, grow, and shine for God.

Each chapter encourages children to explore various key themes.

✔ The significance of being a friend of Jesus
✔ The deep love Jesus has for children

✔ The importance of honesty, humility, and kindness
✔ The way to communicate with Jesus through prayer
✔ Why respecting parents pleases God, and is important
✔ Biblical heroes, the meaning of their own names
✔ The blessings are passed down through generations from parents to children.

Your child will learn that:
• Jesus listens to them anytime and anywhere.
• They have an angel watching over them.
• They are part of God’s big plan.
• Their actions, kindness, truthfulness, and forgiveness make them shine like a light on a hill.

Filled with Scripture, moral lessons, and real-life stories. This book warmly guides children on their spiritual journey while also bringing families closer together. It's an excellent choice to motivate your readers to pick up a book and really read it from start to finish. For every respectful family, this special gift will help children learn to become good readers, as King Solomon said in Proverbs 18:15:

 “The heart of the wise seeks knowledge.”

After more than twenty years of marriage, fatherhood, and personal trials, including heavy burdens and responsibilities suffered in silence, like many Christian men.

Gabriel’s mission is clear and unwavering:
to help families reclaim their God-given roles, protect their spiritual heritage, and walk confidently in the truth of Scripture.

Genesis 3:9: When the Lord calls you at the end of days to give account for your family, His loving voice will ask, just as He once asked Adam: “Where are you?”

Through powerful storytelling, transparent testimony, practical biblical principles, and messages filled with hope, he points readers back to the heart of God, where healing begins, identity is restored, and purpose becomes clear.

Gabriel lives his faith intentionally as a father of three, an author, an entrepreneur, and a servant of Christ, dedicating his life’s work to building strong homes and raising future generations of disciples as Heavenly Citizens.
