Fasa and the Buffalo: A Lesson in Grit from the One Who Walks Toward the Storm

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9Every summer, the cousins gather at their grandparents' beach condo. This year, they set out to build the biggest sandcastle ever, until a sudden storm rolls in and washes it away. The kids want to quit. But Fasa, their grandfather, has a story to tell.Long ago, out in Wyoming, he learned something about the buffalo that he's never forgotten: when a storm rolls in, the buffalo doesn't run. He turns his big shaggy head and walks straight into it. And because he does, the storm passes faster.Drawing on Joshua 1:9, Romans 5, and Romans 8:28, Fasa and the Buffalo is a tender Christian picture book about grit, faith, and the courage to build again, bigger and better than before. A keepsake story for ages 4 to 7, and for the grandfathers, fathers, and mothers who teach the next generation what it means to be bold and to be a blessing. Read more
