Alex and the Hen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479618095)

Alex has big plans for his summer at Grandma's farm-and they include a hen of his very own! He buys one from the widow down the road, gives her the best care possible, and is certain he's given her the perfect home.

But his new hen has other ideas. Day after day, she vanishes from her cozy coop and returns to the widow's humble farm. No matter how many times Alex brings her back, she always follows the voice she knows.

Through this puzzling mystery, Alex discovers a profound truth. Just as the hen recognized her owner's call, children can learn to hear and follow the voice of Jesus.

In a world full of competing voices, this charming farm adventure gives parents a natural way to talk with children about recognizing and following Jesus through prayer and Bible reading.

A story that will have your family talking about what it means to truly follow Jesus.
