It Began with a Parachute

by William R. Rang
Available from Inheritance Publications and Amazon

Children will enjoy this story set in Nazi-occupied Holland. Bert learns lessons about obedience, friendship and truth after he rescues an American pilot who had been shot down. Every time he directly or indirectly disobeys his parents, he learned that he'd made the wrong decision. This is one children's story where the parents are not pitted against the children. Instead the Christian parents are on the children's side. There is plenty of adventure and character-building incidents in the short story, where the main people want to honor Christ. It would make a great book to read aloud to the family.
