Book Description | Follow the journey of sweet Baby Olivia, born into a land of extremes, but destined to reign in the faraway kingdom of Igotchu. In this book, a true story of adoption is spun into a delightful tale of how the desire and devotion of a king and queen and the love and courage of a mother unite to create a new life and destiny for a baby girl. Written by the parents of trans-racial adoption, the book was made to introduce their young daughter to the story of her life and how she came to them. The tale further reveals how we can all be adopted to the heart of our Father God and through that receive access to new life and destiny. The illustrations in the book, created by an artist who was adopted herself, will capture the hearts of children and adults and beautifully display this tale of love, sacrifice, and destiny. |
About the Author | J. Brian and Renae Calva live in the Minnesota, United States. They have two children at home, their 11 year old son Josiah (the "Jester" Prince) and their daughter Olivia (the Princess of Igotchu). The other Royals, their adult children are now married and are raising princes and princesses of their own. J. Brian and Renae minister to marriages both in the U.S. and abroad through Hearts Igniting Ministries (a partner of Passion Ministries). They work with couples through marriage and pre-marriage counseling and teach seminars primarily in the U.S. but also through short-term missions to the nations. After the birth of their son Josiah, they sought to add to their family through adoption and in that process had their eyes opened to the reality of the millions of orphans living in hopelessness - children that will never have an opportunity to experience a family through the miracle of adoption. Since then they have worked to advocate for and encourage orphans through domestic adoption and foster care as well as partnering with True Hope Ministries to work with orphans in Ukraine. It is their heart to reach seemingly forgotten children all over the world with a message of hope and a revelation that they were created on purpose for a purpose. All proceeds from the sale of this book will be used for them to continue this work. |
