Join God's Global Plan

Ten-year-old Jason is unsure if God is still at work around the world. That is, until he and his younger brother, Fred, discover a board game that transports them to countries across the globe. But one mistake could mean being stuck in a country with no way home.

In The Dreamer, Jason and Fred must fulfill a strange mission to deliver a holy book to a dreamer in Afghanistan. If only the brothers knew who. Can they lose the mysterious person following them and figure out who needs the book before time runs out? Find out in this first book in Jenny Marcelene's To the Ends series.

To the Ends is an international adventure series helping children ages 6-10 cultivate a biblical worldview and spark prayer for the nations.

"The Dreamer helps kids understand that missions is a real, here and now, essential part of the Christian faith. It shows young people they, too, can play a role in making God's great name known at home and in the world beyond." -Caroline Starr Rose, author of The Burning Season

"Engaging, fun, and based in biblical truth, The Dreamer by Jenny Marcelene is exactly the kind of book I want my kids reading! Through adventure and education, readers have the opportunity to learn about how the Lord is already at work around the world-and how we can partner with him in the work of sharing and proclaiming the gospel through prayer. I highly recommend this series and can't wait to read more!" -Ann Swindell, author of the In the Castle Library series and owner of Writing with Grace

"Jenny Marcelene channels her own experiences of living in Muslim countries into a novel to educate and inspire young readers' hearts with God's work around the world. The Dreamer manages to strike a golden balance between being exciting enough to keep the interest of older readers while remaining accessible in content and style for younger readers. Marcelene's book reminds us that the Gospel is both an incredible gift and a grand adventure." -Ginger M. Blomberg, author of Charlie and the Preschool Prodigal from TGC Kids

"The Dreamer takes readers on an imaginative journey, inviting kids to see God's heart for the nations. The Dreamer is eye-opening, respectful, and full of wonder." -Christie Thomas, author of Little Habits, Big Faith

"Praise God for Jenny Marcelene's obedience and talents that have created The Dreamer . . . Obviously, it has taken her a lifetime of listening and in-depth experiences for her to envision a book that young people will adore and consume. While a children's book, it presents many biblical and spiritual challenges for parents and other adults who read it to a younger audience. It is filled with biblical and modern-day cultural truths as the love of Jesus Christ continues to encounter the world of Islam . . . This book is more than well-researched, it has been well-lived and experienced." -Dr. Nik Ripken, missionary and author of The Insanity of God, President of Nik Ripken Ministries

"Jenny Marcelene has given young readers an unforgettable adventure that awakens curiosity and points them to God's heart for the nations." -Sarah Koontz, Founder of Living by Design Ministries

The Dreamer invites children into a world they may never travel to, but that God deeply loves. Jenny gives young readers the gift of seeing another culture through God's eyes-familiar enough to connect with, yet different enough to spark curiosity and wonder." -Carissa Potter, Director of Family Mobilization, Via
