CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 8, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Welcome to Mannaland and enjoy a fun place where children can learn and grow. Let them learn important life lessons as they join in the Adventures in Mannaland, a delightful picture book co-authored by Tony Durkin and Jo'Ann Zimmermann.
Mannaland is a wonderful place where humans and animals all live together in peace and harmony. It is where children have fun as they learn good morals and grow a little closer to God. Man does not live on bread alone. Thus, they feed on the fruits of the earth and God's word. Just as God sent manna from heaven to feed His people, these stories will inspire and allow children as well as adults to feed on God's word and nourish their souls as they learn more about Jesus and His love.
Enjoy these spiritually uplifting tales and build a closer relationship with God. Join the Adventures in Mannaland and be blessed. For more information about these escapades, log on to www.xlibris.com.
