Donna's first book was published by Harrison House Publishing, Tulsa, OK in 1983, The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpiller introducing the beginning of a Christian Children's Book "Orville" series. Included in the series is; The Adventure of Amelia Airheart Butterfly in bye! bye! Dragonfly! and Do Angels Go Camping?
In addition, Donna wrote Don't Hug a Grudge, a stand alone book that reaches ages eight to adult. Don't Hug a Grudge was featured by Joyce Meyer, of Joyce Meyer Ministries, Intl., in her Emotional Healing series, under the teaching title; Bitterness, Resentment and Unforgiveness.
Donna has taught Children's Minisitry for over thirty years and believes in giving children 'bite-sized teachings', that are full of life changing wisdom. Her books are firmly based on the principles of the Word of God. Donna is known as "the Believe Like a Little Child Author."
Donna Perugini Books helps parents who are looking beyond simple value-fueled stories for their children. Open a new world for your child and begin a series that causes their 'roots to go deep'!

You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>
Children have as much trouble as adults with unforgiveness. While teaching Children's Ministry I searched for a way to describe in 'bite-sized pieces' what a grudge was, how it grew and the way to be free from it in all forms. Adults are holding bible studies with the book, large ministries (like Joyce Meyer's Ministry) are teaching from "Don't Hug A Grudge" and its illustrations, and it is being added as teaching materials to International Victory Bible Institute curriculum in nearly 1,000 bible schools around the world.
<p>Victorious Faith Ministries had Donna Perugini help write a course for Children’s Ministry to be included in the International Victory Bible Institute curriculum, an affiliate of VictoryChristianCenter, Tulsa, Oklahoma. IVBI has nearly 1,000 Bible schools around the world in which this course is being taught. "Don’t Hug A Grudge" is included in the teaching material.<br /> Serving Him,<br /><br /> Ron Stafford<br /> President, Victorious Faith Ministries</p> <p> </p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td align="right" valign="top" width="0"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top" width="100%"> <div class="h3color tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;font-weight:bold;"><br /><br /><br /> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><strong style="font-size:18px;"><span><a style="font-size:20px;"><em style="font-size:17px;"><span style="font-size:20px;"><span>Reviews from Amazon.com</span></span></em></a></span></strong></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="font-size:15px;"><strong style="font-size:17px;">Right on the mark</strong>, March 3, 2006</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr style="font-size:16px;"><td valign="top"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS';font-size:16px;"><span style="font-size:17px;">By </span></span></span></td> <td><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS';font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Scott P.

You can either forgive the person,<br /> or not. If you can't forgive, you develop worse attitudes which causes up to hatred of the person. Hatred<br /> ruins all relationships for many years and spreads from one family to another. One simple "I forgive you"<br /> brings love and good feelings between people. Many wars could be prevented with this one statement. </span></span></td> </tr></tbody></table><p><br /> See more reviews on Donna's Blog <a href="http://www.DonnaPeruginiChildrensAuthor.com">http://www.DonnaPeruginiChildrensAuthor.com</a> under the tab Reader's Reviews</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p> </p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></td> <td> </td> </tr></tbody></table><p> </p> <p> </p>
