AUTHOR

About the Author

Loraine Bishton Author

Loraine’s passion for children and faith inspired THE GIFT STORY and teaching children their God-Given Identity. The idea took root while caring for her grandchildren and studying the Redemptive Gifts, which opened her eyes to the beauty of the unique design God places in every child.

Born and raised in Johannesburg, Loraine built her career in finance administration before devoting her time to family, creativity, and writing. She enjoys drawing, painting, and getting lost in a good book.

"It is vital to shape a child’s character and morals before they enter primary school, with Jesus at the very centre of their lives. He is their Creator, the One who designed them for a unique reason and purpose. Their true self-worth is found in Him. When children grasp this truth, they will know that Jesus is theirs forever. I believe this book will help guide them into that understanding."

"Dearest Reader! What a beautiful gift you are holding in your hands! I am so proud of what Loraine has done - this is a map for getting to know yourself, and understand yourself and your children a bit better, for loving the way God has created you and for loving and liking people who are different to you!

 

Have lots of fun - in the reading, the colouring in and the playing with the characters in The Gift Story! I am so happy to finally see this powerful tool printed and available for families!"

Rika Cronje
Teacher

"The Gift Story is more than just a play therapy programme - it is a powerful tool for therapists, teachers and parents and assists in laying the foundation for emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and identity formation in children. Rooted in the belief that every child is uniquely gifted by God, this book offers a compassionate, structured, and faith-based approach to help children uncover their intrinsic value and purpose. As a resource for both parents and teachers, it provides practical guidance to nurture a child's personal growth from the inside out. If you’re seeking a meaningful way to support children in understanding themselves within their God-given identity and building strong, respectful relationships with others, The Gift Story is an essential companion on that journey."
