As a parent and an educator, I found this book to be a refreshing, creative way to orient young children in developing and/or adjusting Christian and family values. These imaginative adventures offer the reader a chance to explore real life circumstances and consequences in a non-threatening manner. As each story unfolds, the author provides gentle reminders as well as opportunities for meaningful dialogue between parent and child which supports character building strategies; all while emphasizing trust in God.
The Adventures of Mia and Jace takes me back to the “Aesop's Fables” I read as a little girl. This delightful book has a modern-day spin to it using a sister and brother duo, along with their favorite toys and pets to tell stories of everyday life. Each story references scripture to deliver a moral and a message for readers young and old to learn and remember. All of this, coming from the heart of a very talented little author, is a must read that’s needed today on every bookshelf and bedside table. “And a child shall lead them" is so very true. Great Job Sophia!
What I love about The Adventures of Mia and Jace is how it teaches Christian values and lessons in a way that children can comprehend. I also love how it teaches children about obedience, making wise choices, and the consequences of making unwise choices. Each chapter references the use of daily principles that can be taught to children such as honesty, honor and having patience to name a few. I would advise anyone who has children to purchase this book of life lessons.
she lives with her mother and father. Each adventure, with Mia and Jace as our tour guides, offers parable like lessons designed to remind us all of the importance of key Biblical principles and practices--- honesty, kindness and gentleness toward others, just to name a few. As I read the various short stories, which provide the contextual boundaries for Mia’s and Jace’s adventures, I was reminded of John Bunyan’s classic, Pilgrims Progress as well as C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. Into that tradition, Sophia has boldly and confidently staked her claim and I highly recommend that this book be purchased by any and all who are raising children or who in some capacity work with children and are concerned about their spiritual development. Well done, Sophia!

This book is a really good lesson for kids because it teaches us to believe in god and to listen to our parents and god. It also teaches us not to tell stories to our parents and others. It taught me to not want to seek revenge and be nice to people and that I am beautiful and wonderfully made by god and there is nothing wrong with me and it taught me to not change because of what people say about me.
