"There were guns blazing, shells flying, and swords flashing and hacking away!" Teddy recounts the bravery of his father’s heroic deed. But the rivalry between a soldier’s son and a sailor’s daughter drives Teddy to his breaking point until he learns of a new battle, a new enemy, and a new Captain, whose orders are to fight all battles with the banner of love!

PARENTS, Teddy’s Button is a story that will open a child's understanding of the spiritual battle within as Teddy learns that he is his own worst enemy!

As the stubborn boy and girl refuse to back down from their selfish pride, one of the many lessons they learn is that they cannot win battles by force and hate, but by carrying the banner of love.

Through this charming story, Amy LeFeuvre helps children to understand the spiritual battle that rages in their souls, and that parents and children are on the same side!

Dr. Mark Hamby has done a fantastic job with this retelling – and the illustrations by his WIFE Jennifer Hamby are beautiful!

For over 30 years Dr. Mark Hamby has been bringing redemptive hope to people who are willing to take off the mask and open their hearts to the life-changing power of the Word of God.

Mark is the founder and president of Lamplighter Ministries, whose mission is to make ready a people prepared for the Lord by building Christlike character one story at a time.

Lamplighter stories are much more than good and wholesome reading. The character traits children assimilate during their formative years are the foundation from which a life of faith in God is built.
