About the Book
Planting Seeds
We have been harvesting vegetables from the garden and are now eating watermelon. Grayson complains about the seeds and Pops takes the opportunity to explain about the wonder of seeds and explain that there are spiritual seeds also.
If we plant good seeds like love, honesty, kindness, etc we harvest good things. If we plant bad seeds like jealousy, revenge, and lies etc then we harvest bad things.

About The Author
Sam Elliott
Sam Elliott is a pastor, author, marriage coach, husband, father, and grandfather with a lifelong passion for strengthening families through biblical principles.
Sam has been married to his beautiful wife Angie since 1980 and they have two sons. Sam has served in pastoral roles since 1987, both as lead pastor and staff pastor in six different churches. He has served as a church planter and as a satellite campus pastor of a very large church.
However, he has always been focused on helping people find practical ways to implement the principles of God’s word to have strong, fulfilling marriages. He has taught these principles in conferences, classes, and other church settings. He and Angie have done extensive marriage coaching and love to see couples find peace and love as they apply biblical principles to their relationship.
He authored, I Still Do, A Guide for the Marriage Journey, as a biblical marriage daily devotional to help couples grow strong marriages. Sam also seeks to provide encouragement to couples through his Instagram page, IStillDoministries, which is filled with short videos to provide thought provoking principles.
He also wrote, A Legacy of Faith, One family’s God stories, which is a collection of stories of answered prayers experienced by Sam and Angie. The premise is to encourage families to recognize God’s amazing hand in their lives and to make these stories a part of the culture and lore of their families to share the reality and providential care of God with their children and grandchildren.
Now, Sam has taken the next step in providing The Most Important Things as a tool to help parents and grandparents engage the children they love in spiritual conversations. Sam and Angie have spent years seeking to strengthen families and are very happy about this latest project which they hope will bring many children into faith in Jesus Christ.
