Character Interview with Danny of I HAVE FAITH
We’re thrilled to be talking to Danny from Davin
Whitehurst’s, I Have Faith. It
is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!
Thank you for your interview, Danny. How old are you and what do you do for a
living?
I am eight years old and currently a third grader at Wilson
Elementary School. I enjoy playing
in the backyard with my new dog and active in baseball, basketball and golf.
What is your most treasured possession?
My faith is what I treasure the most. I know that my toys
and clothes and everything else will change but my faith I will have forever,
so I don’t take that for granted.
What would I love the most about you?
I am a very caring person. I love to help people out and
always there for my friends when they need me. I think I am patient so I don’t
get mad very easily and I just love people.
Where do you go when you are angry?
I go to my room. It gives me time to cool down and not say
things I shouldn’t say. My older brother gets on my nerves a lot, and so
instead of egging it on I just go to my room to get away.
What makes you laugh out loud?
I am a very silly person so jokes will make me laugh. My brother
and I laugh a lot. So much so, many times no one else is laughing but we are
rolling around on the floor.
What is your idea of a perfect day?
A summer day, spending time with my friends in the
neighborhood, playing football in the back yard or riding around on our bikes
makes a perfect day. Summer days are so awesome as we can just play all day and
stay up at night.
Are you a loner or do you prefer to surround yourself with
friends?
I love being around my friends and family. There is always
something to be done whether we are playing board or video games indoors or
camping or playing sports outdoors. I like being active and doing it with other
people.
Who is your best friend?
My best friend is Sam. He knows me and we get along really
good. He lives at the end of the block and we are almost inseparable. Sam is
the one from the book that did not believe I would get a dog. He had heard my
mother say many times that we were not allowed to get a dog, so he never
believed it would ever happen.
What is your favorite weather?
I love the snow. I will spend hours outside building forts,
snow sledding, or snowball fights with the all my friends around the
neighborhood is awesome. My mom does not like the cold weather but I like the
snow and especially the snow days, NO SCHOOL!
Do you like to cook?
If so, what is your favorite thing to cook?
I like to cook, and one of my favorites is pizza. Rolling
the dough out and putting all the toppings on top is so much fun. Then eating
it is the best part. My mom let’s me help out in the kitchen so I get to
pretend I am a chef.
About the Author
Davin Whitehurst lives in the
beautiful high desert of Southern Arizona with his wife and son. He is
releasing his first book "I have Faith" in May of 2016 but has so
many more that are in the making. The motivation behind the books are deeply
rooted from in his own past. He is a living testimony of Proverbs 22:6.
Growing up in Southwest Kansas and in a Christian household, he was trained up
in the way he should go. By the time he became a teenager, Davin turned
away from God and left church. Fast forward into his late twenties and God
brought him back with a powerful calling. He and his family have been
faithfully serving at Seed of Abraham Christian Center International for over
seven years now. Proof that when we teach our children the way they
should go. When they get older, they know where to turn and will not depart
from God. Davin wants each book written to be a resource that parents
have to help train their children in the way they should go. He writes
stories in a simple way that will be fun and practical for every child. He
wants children to get excited about faith and the things of God.
His latest release is the
children’s book, I Have
Faith.

Are
you ready to get your child excited about faith? “I Have Faith” puts your child
right in the footsteps of Danny as he begins to learn about faith. Danny and
his older brother have been wanting a dog, but both know their parents don’t
think they are ready for a dog. When Danny’s mom begins teaching him what
the bible says about faith, he puts his faith into action. After praying and
releasing his faith for a dog, doubt and even his best friend keep telling
him that he will never get a dog. Over time Danny never loses his faith in the
promises of God and finds that God is faithful and that faith works. Come along
on this journey that is a real life event that took place in the author’s
life as a child.
This
book has great illustrations that support a wonderful story about finding
faith in God. As you are teaching your child about principals in the bible;
this book will help you teach faith. What a wonderful experience it
is when we can see our children begin to develop their faith in God, and grow
from a tiny mustard seed to a firmly planted tree. The back of the book has a
parent/child discussion which will help children gain understanding in faith
and some scriptures that Danny’s mom used to get him excited about faith.
