“Secret photo
shoot?”
“Yeah, the one on
the river. Riley you are so lucky! I don’t blame you for wanting to be a shoe
model instead of playing softball. Oh, and my dad showed me the Ready Eddys.
They’re so cute! I’m gonna save up to buy some.”
WHAT was this
girl talking about? Secret photo shoot? Ready Eddys?

Target Audience: Girls 11-14
Subjects: Friendship, Evangelism, Truth
Summary: What on earth is going on
here? No one is telling Riley Mae anything! This running for your life business
is not all it’s cracked up to be. As near as she can figure they’re somewhere
in Montana
hiding from their enemies. And apparently while here Riley Mae is going to do a
series of photos promoting a new sandal – a series of photos going do the
rapids – including over a waterfall! That’s not all though. All sorts of crazy
adventures are happening – a run in with a hungry bear, a missing person
search, a mysterious e-mail and a little boy with Leukemia. It’s enough to make
Riley Mae quite glad she’s got the right shoes for each adventure!
Notes: The Good News Shoes series
introduces a twelve year old girl who really likes softball and cool shoes. So
when she gets an offer to be a spokesgirl for a company marketing athletic
shoes for girls, she jumps in headfirst, not knowing she just signed up for
some serious adventures. The theme verse for the series is Ephesians 6:15 - and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from
the gospel of peace. In this second book the focus is on the Gospel. Riley Mae
meets a young boy who shares his faith with all those around him. Her friend
hears more about the Gospel and makes a choice to put her trust in Christ for
her salvation. She gets to attend a baptism and hear the testimony of others.
It also continues the theme of peace from the last book as Riley Mae faces more
dangers and challenges.

Romans
1:16 – I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of
God for the salvation of everyone who believes:
first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
