  Why Cry?

  “Why Cry?” is a children's book that was written as much for children as it was for adults. 
  Often we see and hear of things children do because of their innocence and the simple way that they see life. These things often teach or remind and sometimes even inspire us as adults, to look at the way we are living our lives so we can change and enjoy life more. 
  Too often as adults, we get too busy with life and forget to just take a moment for ourselves. When we don't stop to take a breath we often let things get on top of us and soon find ourselves mired in problems, disappointment, and negativity. 
  'Why Cry?' reminds us as adults of the beauty that there is to see in the world if we only stop to take the time to appreciate it. 
  A young boy who thinks his mother is crying, tells her about all the beautiful reasons in the world why she should not cry. His mother, we realize later, is not crying but cutting onions! 
  Francois was inspired to write this story when he saw a young boy crying outside the school where he used to read stories for children. Francois managed to calm him down by showing him a book and promising to read it to him after which he stopped crying and was happy to go to class with Francois.

  It was totally dark. The lights in the city were turned off, and there were no street lamps, no neon signs, and no extra glow in shop windows. Klaus noticed that theirs was the only car on the road. How would they slip by the checkpoint? Klaus glanced at his wife Tina, whose eyes were shut in prayer. Suddenly he heard a thunderous crash, then saw a bright flash of light. Klaus-Dieter John (1960-) dreamed of becoming a medical missionary in the developing world. He would do whatever it took -- study in top universities and practice surgery in remote and dangerous places -- to reach his goal of providing health care for people who needed it most. Dr. John's seemingly impossible vision of Diospi-Suyana, a world-class hospital for impoverished Peruvians deep in the Andes Mountains, was blessed by God to the end. Despite challenges in fund-raising, construction, moving his family from Germany, and countless roadblocks, Klaus's dream was finally realized, bringing hope in a land loved by God.
