Neighbors to Family

Nine-year-old Freddy is thrilled to find that the new neighbors have a son his age; after years as an only child, he finally has a brother and companion in Jeremy. The two become inseparable, growing more and more involved in each other's lives. At the invitation of his new friend, Jeremy begins to enjoy fun and exciting church activities, and the two realize that God is bringing them closer together. Jeremy experiences a new kind of love and acceptance in Freddy's church community, and the resulting changes in his life have a surprising effect on the lives of those around him.


After Dr. June Kennedy had served as a co-author on a number of her husband's books, her family encouraged her to find her own voice through writing down the stories she had been telling over the years. In creating her characters and shaping her narrative, she drew on a wealth of experience in teaching, family work, and church ministry. The result is this delightful story of friendship and sharing. Dr. Kennedy shows that God can use you to bring about healing and transformation in individuals, families, and even entire communities when faith is part of your everyday life.


"It is a practical demonstration of how even a child can lead their parents and neighbors to know Christ." ~ Sonia Rodney-Williams EdD, Retired Special Educator, Medical Missionary
