This true story is set in Dagenham, east London, in 1937, two years before the outbreak of war. In those days, it was common for preachers and evangelists to travel around the country to speak in churches and also to children in Sunday schools. These evangelists would teach children about Jesus, the Son of God, and the salvation that can be found through following Him. This is the story of how one little girl, at the age of six, encountered one of these evangelists at her Sunday school. Even at this tender age, Eileen was aware of her failings, of her inability to be obedient to her parents and her struggle to be truthful. With the help of the evangelist, and the Sunday School superintendent, Eileen prayed for Jesus to take away her sins and to come into her life as her personal Saviour. She was immediately aware of the change inside and on reaching home declared to her mother that she was saved! The story is written and illustrated for six-year-olds and the illustrations reflect the time in which the story is set. The author, Eileen Mohr, went on to spend her life dedicated to sharing the Gospel. For many years she was herself a Sunday school teacher and later became an accredited Methodist local preacher, preaching and teaching in Essex and also for many years in the north of Scotland. In 1994 she founded Crossbridge Books, an independent Christian publishing house whose mission to share the Gospel of Salvation continues to this day.
