Who can I talk to up here on my own?

I could talk to God but I don’t have a phone.

I must find God’s house, does He live in a tree?

Or dwell in a cave? Or under the sea?

Fly with Shriek the eagle, all over the world as he searches for God. His friends all have homes but what about God?

Is God in heaven or here on earth with us?

In this story, Rü introduces himself as the Holy Spirit, the one sent by God to be with us.

Rü tell’s Shriek the story of Immanuel - how God came to dwell among us as Jesus and how Jesus died and rose again and went to heaven.

So God is both in heaven and here on earth which means, wherever we go we can talk - and squawk! - to God anytime, anywhere and we call it: “PRAYER”.

This adventurous, gospel-centred story will help you explore questions about where God lives, how we can pray and how His Spirit is with us wherever we go, when we believe in God’s son, Jesus.

At the end, there’s a memory verse (Psalm 139: 5 - 8), prayer and wondering questions to open up the conversation between kids and their grown-ups about the nature and character of God.

All proceeds go towards Ruach Resources, charity number 1197062, to help create more conversation-starting, faith-inspiring resources for children and their grown-ups.
