Oh, The Treasures You'll Know!

“Oh, the Treasures You'll Know is a witty, wonderful and beautifully illustrated book about following God's narrow path and storing up treasures in Heaven that will never be lost. I'm glad to recommend this delightful book.”

“Here are core truths distilled in an engaging and entertaining way. I love that I can sit and read it as a storybook to young kids, but also give it as an excellent and truly edifying gift to High school graduates.”

“Dan Olson packs a children's book full of truth for a life journey in pursuit of God, and he does so with hope and beauty. In Oh, The Treasures You'll Know, he interweaves how a life led by a passion for Christ ultimately leads to a fullness and purposefulness in comparison to a narrative of a self-focused journey. This book is great for children as they discover these truths, high school graduates who enter adulthood, and even for adults who are seeking purpose and joy in their life and work.”

“This book is Dr. Seuss meets Pilgrim's Progress. It's whimsical and engaging while communicating deep truths. The message is not the world's 'you can do anything if you set your mind to it' but instead 'you can make it through anything with God's help.' The detailed illustrations make reading and rereading a delight for all ages!”

“Dan Olson guides kids of all ages on a gospel treasure hunt to discover eternal riches. This book masterfully combines rhyme with illustrations to engage minds and hearts in valuable biblical truth. Your kids will pull this off the shelf to read over and over again!”

“This is a beautiful book for young and old that clearly illustrates the journey of the Christian life. We are inspired to keep pressing forward no matter the trials or distractions. We are assured of God's love and care for those of us who keep pressing our way through the fires of life. With the whimsical spirit of Dr. Seuss, he has created a book where all people, no matter their ethnicity, gender or background will see themselves in these pages and find the inspiration to walk the narrow way, full of faith that the Lord will see them to the end and reward them for finishing the race strong.”

“Olson has provided a witty, engaging story that takes the reader on a journey which highlights the spiritual dimensions of our everyday choices. Many will identify with how easy it is to wander into and become swallowed up in the 'Maze for all those who would make their own way,' or to give in to the lure of self-centered 'Whocaresville.' My teenage daughters, who are deeply embedded in biblical teaching and schooling, were nevertheless poised with great attention, eager to see how Olson's pilgrim would fare on his journey. Enthusiastically recommended for all ages.”

“As an educator, I've had the joy of seeing despair transform to hope as children came to see learning in terms of growth rather than performance. Dan Olson offers the same opportunity for transformation in his hopeful vision of Christian life where virtue is not something merely to be preserved or that will simply appear in time without any effort. Rather, he presents Christian virtue as a life we will grow into as we follow Jesus on the way he has walked before us.”
