Recent Release, "Patience," from Christian Faith Publishing Author Dr. Gayle M. Russell, Teaches Young Readers a Timeless Virtue Through a Barnyard Adventure

North Canton, OH, October 09, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Gayle M. Russell has completed a new book, titled, "Patience," a children's story that brings the Fruit of the Spirit to life through the gentle eyes of a caring sheep. When Patience volunteers to shepherd a group of spirited lambs to the meadow, she encounters far more than a simple walk through pastoral fields. The narrative unfolds as an exploration of compassion, resilience, and the quiet strength required to guide others with grace.

Dr. Russell, an ordained pastor and lifelong learner who earned her doctorate in ministry at age sixty-nine, draws from decades of service in her faith community and professional work as an educator and administrator. Her deep commitment to spiritual formation and her experience homeschooling her five grandchildren have shaped her distinctive voice in children's literature. This creative blend of pastoral wisdom and educational insight infuses every page with authenticity and purpose.

In "Patience," readers will discover how a humble sheep named Patience navigates the unpredictable antics of Buster, a lively lamb whose spirited nature constantly tests her composure. Through this charming tale, children will learn how Jesus's affirmation fills the heart with peaceful contentment and how genuine patience springs from an inner wellspring of faith. The story reveals that true restraint is not mere tolerance, but a reflection of Christ's own loving presence working through us in our daily interactions.

"My fervent desire is for every child who reads this book to understand that Jesus loves them with an unconditional and boundless affection," said the author. "Through Patience's journey, I hope young readers will recognize how embracing patience transforms challenging moments into opportunities for growth and grace."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, this enchanting work equips children with spiritual tools to navigate life's frustrations. This inaugural installment of the "Fruit of the Spirit Flock" series plants seeds of faith that will blossom throughout a child's formative years.

Readers who wish to experience this uplifting work can purchase "Patience" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
