A sweet and tender book that shows a child all the ways he is loved. That he is a precious treasure to his parents and family, and to God. And that he is loved beyond measure.
It teaches the child who Jesus is, how much He loves us, and that He gives us the supreme example of how we are to show love to others.
"What joy when you were born and we heard your first cry. Your head was so tiny we could hold it in our hands. What a wonderful gift you are!"
"When you laugh, we laugh too. We so love to see you happy! When you cry, we're sad and we comfort you. We're always there to protect you."
"Even though Jesus is God, you two have a lot in common. Jesus understands you because he was a child once. Through Jesus, God is very, very close to you."
Jen Nilsson has an MBA, a nice condo, and a fast-track job at a tech start-up in Silicon Valley. If her big product launch goes well next month, she may finally land the marketing director job she's been gunning for. But then her younger sister, Katie, just out of college and estranged from their newly devout parents, blows through the front door, dumping cardboard boxes and a lifetime of personal drama onto Jen's just-swept floor.
Family is family, and Jen lets her sister, the embodiment of all that annoys her, move in. Maybe she'll turn aimless Katie into a model adult. But when Jen's own well-laid career plans hurtle off the tracks—a corporate buyout, a layoff, and a disastrous business trip to China—she turns more and more to Katie for support and begins to reassess the place of family, and love, in her life.
If You Can Get It explores the quirks and the humanity of the twenty-first-century business world but finds its heart in the deepening relationship of two sisters as different as Elinor and Marianne of Sense and Sensibility.
