   New from Karl: Andy and the Ants
Andy and the Ants has been one of the most downloaded stories on Kidology for well over ten years. It is a story Karl wrote as a young man to help kids understand the incarnation of Jesus in a simple and enjoyable manner. We're excited to share that it's now an illustrated children's book! What's a boy to do when he learns that his beloved ant hill, hidden in a secret hide out, will soon be destroyed to make room for a new shopping mall? When all human attempts to save them fail, there is only one thing left to do. Become an ant and warn them in person! This wonderful parable makes the concept of the incarnation understandable to children perhaps for the first time! Beautifully illustrated, this delightful story will have kids and parents turning each page and smiling as they discover the parallels to the true story of the One who gave up everything to warn those He loved and to prepare a better place for us in His Father's House. 54 pages, softcover, and measuring 9x7 inches, Kidology Premium Members can purchase Andy and the Ants for just $9.99 in the Kidology Store!
