Zac is Back!
A comedic Christian picture book about spreading the gospel through friendship. An annoying neighbor named Zacchaeus Theophilus (Zac) repeatedly shows up asking for eggs — in ever-increasing quantities. What starts as a nuisance slowly becomes something much warmer, as Zac's persistent kindness and faith change everything. My funniest book.
