The Weakest Pull Cover

The Weakest Pull
by Jacqueline Hortten

$14.95

The Weakest Pull is the second book in a series of twelve motivational books for children. This book and the other books of this series evolve from a desire to encourage children everywhere to face life's challenges. It is also rooted in a heart-felt desire that together, the entire family will enjoy these colorful expressions of inspiration.

Invitation

There's a wonderful building project going on in this desert land, and young Emanuel wants to be part of the action. He wants to help, but he's being told he's too weak. Will he ever get a chance to show what he can do? Come and see!

Dedication

I dedicate The Weakest Pull to children everywhere. I especially dedicate this book to my son Shohn who at this time is little in physical statue, but big in character (where it really counts). God bless.

Behind the Book

I really can't remember my mindset when I conceived the "TheWeakest Pull". I don't embellish the thought of playing in the mud, and I don't aspire to work in the hot desert air. It's amazing that I have no earthly way to explain how I envisioned this story.

Even though I don't desire to spend significant time in the landscape of this setting, there is something about it that I appreciate. If you've read the "Behind the Book" section of "Pu Beach" or if you know something about me, you would probably be able to guess what that something is. As it was once said concerning the California Gold Rush: "There's gold in them there hills!" Well, concerning The Weakest Pull…"There's a river in that there desert!" I love the
water. I love the contrast too. Here, you have a dehydrated dessert, and there you have a beautiful, flowing body of water. It reminds me of Isaiah 43:20…"I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the dessert."

If I had to work in the desert's hot sun, what would be better then a nice cool splash on the back from a jar of refreshing water? The recipient, though startled, I'm sure didn't fuss too much.

I hadn't noticed the scriptural parallel until several weeks after completing the storyline.

Jesus said…"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." Incidentally, the name Emanuel mean "God with us", and in the and, look at the crowd of men that surround and lifted up this young boy.

This book, I pray, will be a wonderful esteem builder.
