Nena the Whale Rick C Miller

I was introduced to a new employee; her name was Nena. I told her I liked her name and that it sounded like a song, "Nena the Whale." Luckily, she didn't take offense. I couldn't get the thought out of my head, so that evening I sat down and wrote a song, which led to a video and eventually this book.

After teaching Sunday school for many years, I realized that telling stories or making up videos to show the children was the best way to capture their attention. I'd found a way to reach them beyond just going through the lesson! I was always told to stick to the curriculum, but my way was more exciting to them and got the message out in a way they could relate to and retain! I've always been an "out of the box" kind of guy and my way was working!

Nena the Whale is a story that I hope can open the minds of children to understanding who Jesus is. I'm confident that this book can change lives and open their minds to a new way of learning.
