The One Things: A Heartwarming Story About What’s Most Important by Dr. C. Todd Fetter is a delightful children’s book that teaches children what the most important things in life are. Through an ingenious tale of Grandpa Ed and the neighborhood children that gather around him while he is in the hospital, he is known as the kindest man in town, and one who loves to tell children great tales.
With his hand, namely his thumb and his four fingers, he tells the children around him, giving them a visual of the five things on their one hand to help them to remember. The five lessons are derived from the Bible and Jesus’ parables that present heartwarming and timeless truths that reveal that life in Jesus is everything we need.
Gleaming from David, Grandpa Ed, first speaks of Psalm 27:4. This is the first lesson, seek God first and seek to abide in His house above all things. The second lesson, using his first finger, Grandpa Ed speaks of the rich man Jesus told to go and sell everything, and then he would have the riches of heaven. This teaches children to not love their stuff more than the Kingdom of Heaven and to obtain the riches of Heaven. Then there is the story of Martha, who was too busy for the more important things in life, which was to worship at the feet of Jesus, just as her sister Mary chose. The fourth story, Grandpa Ed shares is one of the blind man. The blind man was chosen to show the glory of God. Last, but not least, the Apostle Paul, was one who chose to forget the past and strive forward in life in Christ Jesus.
These lessons resonate with children and adults alike. All who read this book through the eyes of faith and with an open heart will be reminded once again of what is truly important in life – that we so easily forget as adults.
Additionally, one would do well to read this book to their children to instill the timeless truths captured in this fantastic, funny and endearing children’s book.
Highly recommended for Christian parents wanting to instill Kingdom principles in their kids that will last a lifetime.
