Looking for a fun-loving Christian story for your kids?

Great Christmas Present...........

A Heart Ready to Fly! is the first in a new series, the GiggleHeart Adventures, which is a children's fiction series with a target range of 6-10.  Our research has found that this is an underserved area within the Christian fiction market.

Both the content and humor prevalent throughout this appealing story told from the perspective of the eight-year-old Sophia Rose GiggleHeart make A Heart Ready to Fly! an entertaining - and instructive - read for all ages.

What can you expect...Here's a sneak peak!

You're not going to believe what happened to my brother and I when we flew across the country on a plane, without our parents!  It was more than freaky!

It turned into an amazing adventure where a goofy angel taught me tons of things from the Bible.  I even learned that the Lord wants to clean our hearts so that we can giggle.


 

Sneak Peek from the book! 

Chapter 7: Off to Dreamland

"When we admit our sins to the Lord, He will clean our hearts. Then they will be shiny, fresh and ready to be loved and be able to love others," Frank continued. Next the angel said, "Follow me, Sophia." So I followed into a room where dirty hearts were made clean. It looked a lot like a car wash. Hearts went in dirty and after repenting and receiving God's forgiveness, they came out clean on the other end. It was amazing!

Does your HEART's ears need a Q-tip? 

Sneak Peak #2 from Chapter 6: How Embarrassing!

"God whispers in the ears of our hearts. But when we are afraid, our hearts get too noisy so we cannot hear God's whisper." He went on to explain that evil things can make our hearts noisy. Then we cannot hear God's promise to protect us.

What does God's Joy look like? 

It looks like this.....

Uncle Gino!

Does your heart giggle with God's Joy?

Check out this hilarious book! 

People who are disrespectful and have attitude problems are
everywhere, they might even be us! Sophia Rose Giggleheart is a
little girl with an enormous attitude problem. In this first book, eightyear-
old Sophia learns how the Bible can help her exchange her bad
attitude for God's amazing joy so her heart can truly giggle!
From Sophia's perspective, the things that upset her seem to be
triggered by "annoying people" like her younger brother Luke.
Through this adventure, her vision of her attitude changes from a
"teeny weeny attitude problem" to a heart and attitude filled with a
judgmental peacock, a prideful lion, and angry bear. Ouch! How the
truth hurts.
During this wacky first adventure, the lovable and goofy angel Frank
helps Sophia learn how the Bible instructs us through the lens of
God's wisdom about examining our own hearts. By the end of this
adventure, Sophia learns to humbly examine herself and take
responsibility for her attitude and actions%u2026something most of us
could stand to do as well, if we're honest about it.
Given the universal need to take responsibility for our actions
regardless of our chronological age, it is not surprising that A Heart
Ready to Fly! is attracting fans of all ages. Author Dr. Jackie Chirco
Cogswell reports, "One grandmother was reluctant to part with her
copy of the book when her granddaughter wanted to take it for
herself. Instead, the grandmother promised to buy her a second
copy."
Both the content and humor prevalent throughout this appealing story
told from the perspective of the eight-year-old Sophia make A Heart
Ready to Fly! an entertaining - and instructive - read for all ages.
A Heart Ready to Fly! is available at www.amazon.com,
www.atlasbooks.com, and www.divineinspirationpublishing.com.

    Hi Jackie,

    Hi Sarah,

    I have been thinking about writing a book about children who struggle with testing and academics. I have a 9 yr old who is smart, but he struggles with testing and studying things that he finds "boring." I found that his struggles became my struggles. I felt like I was reliving the 3rd grade along with him. After much prayer ................he is improving and I no longer feel like I'm in the 3rd grade any more.

    Thank you for reinforcing this idea for a future book. If you want to contribute ideas (or details) you'd think would be helpful for your son to read in a future Giggleheart book please let me know. I'd love more input from you.

    God Bless you and your family. I pray that your son becomes and overcomer with his school struggles.
    ~Jackie Chirco Cogsell

    I have never read your book, but I have a third grade child, and he has severe test anxiety. Maybe you could write a book about fears at school or frustrations with learning.

    A Heart Ready to Fly is truly a fantastic book for kids of all ages! I couldn't put it down! The book is extremely relevant for children today. The lessons are fun and easy to understand. The author uses ideas like the "heart wash" to teach children about the amazing gift of salvation. Kids today will definitely be able to relate with the star of the book, 8-year-old Sophia Rose. Sophia Rose has a bad attitude and is annoyed with her little brother. However, Jackie takes Sophia Rose on an exciting airplane adventure and teaches her how following God can make us truly joyful! You can't help but to smile and giggle as you read this book. I think this book would be a great resource in any home, church, library, or children's small group. Well done! I can't wait for the next book!

    I think and believe this book (A Heart Ready To Fly) is an amazing book for children, students, Sunday school teachers, parents reading it to their precious ones. It's very education to help our children focus on the most important things in life and not waist their lives and this book will teach your children how to trust God, respect for others, discernment, and know how to communicate with God's angels. This is a must read and I recommend to everyone who loves children and care for their well being to get a copy and be a blessing to a child who desperately needs love and direction. Thank you very much Jackie for allowing God to use you for you have been a blessing to the body of Christ. I know the Spirit of God is in you and God is working through you mightily. Stay encourage and continue to trust God and do all the things He has called you to do and he will give you the desires of your heart. May your heart be full of joy, peace, and abundance of life.

Review of the Week! 

We love your feedback!

"Lady D" from San Diego says...

First we are introduced to Sophia Rose Giggleheart who is 8 1/2 years old and loves all animals. You just know that every young girl can relate to that. Then we learn of Sophia's brother, Luke Michael Giggleheart who is 6 1/2 and annoys her to pieces. Doesn't this sound like your every day, down to earth family with sibling rivalry? Together the two of them take a plane trip from California to Michigan and so the fun begins!

As this adventurous tale unfolds, Sophia meets Frank and by the sound of his name you'd think he would be just your average Joe kind of guy but no, Frank is an angel! Throughout the book, Jackie Chirco Cogswell brilliantly weaves scripture and biblical application of truth in a very unique approach that causes young people and all of us who are "young at heart" to easily understand God's love for us in a fun and loving way. Real heart felt issues are talked about and lessons of walking in faith, following your heart melts away the fears that young people have.

My favorite character is Sophia because not only is that my Aunt's name but she has similar charming characteristics. Plus I think so many of us can relate to Sophia's attitudes that are in need of a heart change. I love the book and rate it 5 stars. You can easily read it in an evening. This book is for all readers and I highly recommend it to you. I look forward to reading GiggleHeart Adventures #2 and much more from this very talented author.
