This is a work of fiction, except for the Bible Scriptures, which are God's Word and are therefore true. No person in this book exists in real life except for God the Father, God the Son, (also known as Jesus Christ or the Messiah), and God the Holy Spirit. All the other characters, places and events in this novel are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual events is purely coincidental. This book is meant for adults, not children, although with parental guidance, it has parts children might learn from or enjoy.

Scriptures are shown by italics, and are this author's paraphrase and sometimes personalizations or summaries of the King James Version of the Holy Bible. I chose the King James Version because it has no copyright. Basically, what I do is change words like "thee" and "ye" to "you", "thy" to "your", take the "eth," etc. off words, and sometimes use synonyms, to make it sound like more modern English. You can do the same thing as you read the suggested old hymns in a hymnal.

Explanation: Many of the scenes and ideas in this volume have been copied with the author’s permission from novels in the Sunshine Series, by Linda L. Linn. Their titles are, # 1, “Everywhere There’s a Sunrise, Let’s Tell the Good News,” # 2, “Rejoice as the Sun Shines on Restorations,” and # 3, “Gladly Serve God In Sunshine or Storms,” # 4, “Faithfully Serving Jesus In the Sunshine of His Love,” #5, “Bringing Others Into the Sunshine of God's Good News....”””” All five novels are available to buy as printed copies from thebookpatch.com. Or you could get each of them as ebooks or PDF files, from a web site called free-ebooks.net.

My purpose, motive, and goal, for all of the books in the Sunshine Series of books is to present the Good News to some who may not have heard them and to give believers ideas and encouragement about how they might serve Jesus to bring as many people as possible into his family. And besides that, in the novels, the readers get to read many good scriptures, meet people who are genuinely nice as they live for Jesus, and enjoy various scenes of interest and romance.

This next book in the series is not a novel but is a book that is associated especially with #5 in the series. So it’s number will be 5a in the series. Its purpose is to further consolidate the information of the five little booklets, the idea list, and two short books, and put them all into one volume in order to keep them together since they build upon each other.

First I consolidated the five booklets, the idea list, and two short books into the fifth novel in the Sunshine Series, and then made this

one separate volume by taking them out of that book. This way they will be easier for you to print instead of having to look through that whole novel and find where all the pages are, since they were used as scenes in the novel. It is available as an ebook or PDF file, from free-ebooks.net.

For this associated book, that PDF file would be easier to make prints from, than the ebooks or a printed copy. But the printed copy of this book will also be available to buy from thebookpatch.com. Printed copies, of course cannot be free, but you only pay for the cost of printing, tax, handling and shipping, since the retail price is only a dime more than the wholesale price. I did not do this project as a way I can make money.

You might want to give each booklet or short book separately to the new believers as you teach them, as is done in the Sunshine Series of novels, so the new believers would not feel overwhelmed. But they should be encouraged to keep and review all of them, because review is a good way to remember.

As the author, I now give permission for you to copy and print all five booklets, the idea list, and the two short books to give free of charge to new believers who could be helped by them. I know these are just the beginning of all the things that people can learn about living lives that are worthy of our Savior, Jesus. But they are a start, and people can go on from here. Or you could just tell them the title and the name of the web site, Free-ebooks.net, and let them download and print it themselves. Do whatever would work best for them and you

The following sections contain the contents, questions, answers, and comments of the first five little booklets, the idea list, and two short books that were given to new believers by the church in that series of novels. In this volume, each short section begins with some words in bold type

For the idea list, some of the ideas have explanations, comments, and ways to use them. So The Idea List could be a little booklet on it’s own, if you choose to use it that way.

Hopefully the little booklets are more interesting because they are written as if people are reading them aloud, and making comments or asking questions as needed.
