Precious Is My Child

About the Book

Precious Is My Child is a compilation written by students of all ages, parents, victims of bullying, and members of the community who have joined together through written word to proclaim that bullying must stop! We all have a responsibility to choose peace over hate, love over war, and most of all to follow God’s first and greatest commandment: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (Matthew 22:37–39).
