What others are saying

“This story honors a young girls life without deifying her. Even more importantly the story honors the Lord. The author does a great job of avoiding religious platitudes and is honest about the pain, the questions and the emotions that come with any tragedy. It was heartening to read how God used a young girls life and death in such powerful ways. Very inspiring and hope-giving”

“Death certainly had no victory in the crash that snuffed out Chris’ life. The impact she had on the community testifies to what God can do with a heart that is sold out to Him — even if it’s packed in a tiny five-foot frame.
Peanut Learns to Dance, the recounting of the days leading up to and following Chris’s sudden and violent death, as told from the heart of a father, is at once, both sorrowful and beautiful, as it pays tribute to a daughter and the God in whom her soul found rest. I can think of no gift a child could leave her parents more priceless than the assurance her life was hid in Christ.”

Marcia Moston, author of Call of a Coward

"As the story unfolds you will see forgiveness, perseverance, love, salvation, and blessings untold. You will bear witness to a church unified by events only a loving and all knowing God could ever engineer. In essence, you will see the birth of a movement or revolution that continues to this day and that I believe will birth great things for the Kingdom of God for generations to come."
