{"product_id":"the-preacher-and-the-alter-kids","title":"The Preacher and The Alter Kids","description":"Author Stephanie Y. Garrett write a short story: not with routine, but with mystery, laughter, and revelation.\n\nStep inside and join the Preacher and the Altar Kids on a journey stitched together with healing, truth, love, and survival. It’s time for Altar Prayer, and the children know exactly where to go.\nThey line up in a perfect row.\nTwelve knees touch the Altar pew.\nTwelve hands fold.\nSix small heads bow.\nThe Preacher feels the hush settle over the sanctuary like a warm blanket. He lifts his voice and shouts, “Amen!”\nEight feet rise instantly… but four knees stay planted.\n“Wait a minute!” he calls.\nTwo heads remain bowed. Four eyes stay closed—two filled with tears, the other two squeezed tight, holding on to something only heaven can understand.\nHe hears two soft “Amen”s, and then he asks gently,\n“Is there something you need me to pray for?”\nTwo pairs of lips whisper, “Yes.”\nFour eyes lift toward him.\nOne child says, “Pray to make my daddy healed.”\nThe other says, “Pray to make my mommie whole.”\nThe Preacher looks at the rest of the children—wide‑eyed, waiting, believing—and he nods.\n“Amen,” he tells them.\nAnd the story begins.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1976743990\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1976743990.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Garrett, Stephanie Y.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
