About the Book

Living with an Eternal Mindset

Taken or Left children's audiobook encourages young listeners to live with an eternal mindset, keeping the second coming of Christ in view. This heartwarming story follows Peter, a young boy from a large family, as he navigates life's challenges. His mother, overwhelmed by the responsibilities of raising ten boys and a daughter named Salome, struggles to find joy in her daily duties.

A Sibling Bond

The story begins with Peter’s close bond with his little sister, Salome. She quickly becomes his dearest friend. As they grow, their relationship deepens, but Peter finds himself facing a moral dilemma. After losing a shilling, he deceitfully replaces it with one taken from his father’s till. The weight of his dishonesty soon becomes unbearable.

The Impact of a Sermon

Peter's guilt grows even heavier after he hears a powerful sermon about the second coming of Jesus. The message makes him realize the gravity of his actions. He fears that, when Christ returns, he will be left behind because of his sin.
