“Ruthie, don’t you know you are beautiful just the way you are? Some eggs come pink, some brown, some gray, some yellow, and others all sorts of colors. Some come spotted like you. God made every egg unique and special. And he loves every egg,” Mama Chicken assure Ruthie.
“I know that now, Mama,” said Ruthie.
“You don’t need to dye yourself to look like anyone else. You only need to look and act like Jesus, God’s Son. Jesus d-i-e-d on the cross for you so that your sinful spots could be washed away. Spots that are on your inside, not on your outside. We can get ourselves into a whole lot of messes, but Jesus will wash away our sins if we ask him to,” Mama explains.

About the Book
Dyed for Me is a colorful tale of little Ruthie’s adventures on the farm. Ruthie wasn’t sure who she should be or look like. Every new friend she met was different. No matter what she tried, she couldn’t be like any of them and couldn’t cover up who she was, a spotted little egg. Ruthie learned that God made each of us unique and loves us all. Ruthie didn’t need to dye herself to look like her friends. And she didn’t need to cover up her spots on the outside. It’s the sinful spots on the inside that need to be covered.
In today’s society the need to be wanted and accepted is apparent by the vast social media networks available. J. Smith Prisk makes it crystal clear that all people are accepted and wanted by the Heavenly Father. This book is a must read for people in all walks of life.

We go along in life searching for who we want to be, our own identity. God wants His word to light the way to show us what He needs us to be. In Acts 9:6 God gave Paul direction for his life. In this story, Mama Chicken is a vessel used to show Ruthie her way.
–James Smith, Cedar Springs Assembly of God
