The Story Behind the Book
A Promise Kept, A Story Shared Around the World
For thirty years, this story lived within Kristen's family — until her mother felt called to write it down, so parents everywhere could use it to explain salvation to their children. When her mother passed away, that calling became a promise she made good on, and Jesus in My Heart is the fulfillment of it.
Since its first publication in 2011, the story has been embraced by families and children's ministries far beyond where it began — translated, culturally adapted, and shared with children in multiple countries.
