Welcome to our second issue of Pure in Heart Stories!
In this issue you’ll find an exciting treasure trove of poetry, stories, and art to explore. We have fun, lighthearted poems that will make you smile. We have poetry and artwork that will connect you with the beauty of nature and animals, and teach you how they point to a loving Creator. We have biblical adventures and intense battles. We also have stories that teach about forgiveness and make you laugh in unexpected ways.
In this issue, we are also featuring the art and storytelling of our awesome co-editor, Mia McDonald (9 years old). If you have a child in your life between the ages of 6 and 14 who wants to glorify God with his or her writing, we would love to see their work when we open back up for submissions in February.
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy Issue #2. Thank you to the wonderful writers and artists who make up this beautiful new edition. And thank you for reading!
