Emphasizing the importance of faith and dreams, a retired children’s minister from Marietta has published her first book. Peggy Boring, who dedicated much of her life to Christian education, shares her wisdom through an engaging story that reassures young readers of divine presence in their everyday lives. The book, titled "God Sees You, And He Knows Your Name," reflects her passion for nurturing the spiritual growth of children.

Peggy Boring’s journey into writing stems from her lifelong commitment to working with children. Having earned a degree in Christian education and becoming an ordained minister, she found inspiration not only in her professional experiences but also in her desire to leave a meaningful legacy for her family. By incorporating biblical references such as Jeremiah 1:5 and Philippians 1:16, the book encourages children to communicate openly with God and express gratitude for those around them. It emphasizes that prayer can be a personal and flexible practice, accessible anytime and anywhere.

Beyond its heartfelt message, the book showcases vibrant illustrations by Pumudi Gardiyawasam, bringing the story to life. After completing the manuscript last November, Boring embarked on the editing and illustration process before publishing it through Christian Faith Publishing. With plans already underway for a second book featuring twin protagonists, Boring continues to expand her creative endeavors. Readers can find "God Sees You, And He Knows Your Name" in various formats at popular retailers like Amazon, Apple iTunes, and Barnes & Noble.

Through her work, Peggy Boring inspires both children and adults to embrace their unique journeys while maintaining a strong connection to their beliefs. Her efforts highlight the significance of fostering hope, confidence, and faith in younger generations, proving that even after retirement, one can still contribute meaningfully to society and create lasting impacts.
