Nikki & Skipp: God's Honor Guard, Book 1

Ten-year-old Nikki is pretty special. She excels in school, has a loving family, and is a dynamic musician. But there's more to Nikki than meets the eye. In Nikki & Skipp: God's Honor Guard, the first book in a series of five, Nikki witnesses the death of her grandmother. . . or does she? Just when she thinks her grandmother is gone, Nikki sees Jesus bring her back to life. The story doesn't stop here though. Jesus turns to Nikki and tells her that she, too, can heal, cast out demons, and revive the dead. Readers of Nikki & Skipp are guaranteed adventure and miracles as they follow Nikki and her pet dog, Skipp, in everyday life, a kidnapping through Canada, and on vacation to California. In Nikki & Skipp, Stephen Leathers reminds us that all it takes is a little faith to fight a lot of evil.
