The Crayon Messages: A Visiting Teaching Adventure

When Cath Reed is assigned to visit teach a list of inactive and forgotten sisters—including a woman with a rare sleeping disorder—she refuses to just mail letters. Her crayon pictures and personal visits spark unexpected friendships, awaken a lonely soul, and gently draw others back toward faith and family. Warm, funny, and heartfelt, this LDS novel celebrates authentic ministering, the beauty of imperfect service, and the quiet power of one person who simply chooses to show up and love.

• A woman refuses to mail a form letter and instead fills a sleeping stranger's walls with crayon drawings—changing an entire ward.
• The perfect gift for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by a ministering assignment.
• A tender reminder that the Church is like a rare organ: true and beautiful, even when the organists hit wrong notes.
• Funny, real, and deeply moving—ministering the way it was meant to be.

Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint woman who has served in Relief Society or ministering and loves warm, faith-affirming fiction about quietly changing lives through service.
