Gracie's Ghost

In 2018, President Russell M. Nelson warned that "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost."

This book is the perfect tool to help all ages recognize the roles of the Holy Ghost in their life so they can be guided by his constant companionship.

Nearly everyone gets their ghost when they turn eight. That's just the way it works. But Gracie is afraid of ghosts and is determined to learn to recognize them before her birthday so she can stop her ghost from scaring her. Gracie asks all her loved ones, "how do you recognize your ghost?" As she learns about all the wonderful things the Holy Ghost can do for you, her mind is changed. Gracie desperately wants her ghost. But when her birthday comes and goes, she still can't recognize him.

Why didn't the Holy Ghost come to her?

Did she do something wrong?

She continues her investigation, but now she is asking questions, not to help hide from the ghost, but to help her find him. The result is a heartwarming revelation that will change Gracie forever.

President Wilford Woodruff said, "The Holy Ghost is the greatest gift we can receive in mortality."

GRACIE'S GHOST is the best LDS baptism gift for girls. It will help your child or grandchild get even more excited to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost than they are for their baptism.

The book includes comprehension questions, scriptures, and coloring pages that are very helpful for interactive, faith-building conversations.

There is also a boy's version: GRAYSON'S GHOST, that makes the ultimate LDS baptism gift for boys. Both books are also available in Spanish: FANTASMA DE GRACIE, and FANTASMA DE GRAYSON.
