Faith is Like Jumping Rope is a children’s story about courage, trust, imagination, and the discovery of one’s inner rhythm. Through the journey of Andrea, a young girl standing at the edge of a playground, listeners are invited into a symbolic exploration of what it means to face uncertainty and take a courageous leap.

More than a story about a childhood game, this book uses the simple image of jumping rope as a metaphor for the experience of faith. The turning rope becomes a symbol of life’s movement—the moments when we hesitate, the moments when we fear falling, and the moments when we learn to trust the rhythm around us. Andrea’s journey reveals that faith is not about having every answer before we begin, but about listening deeply, feeling the right moment, and discovering the courage to move forward.

Rooted in the spirit of Theopoetics, Faith is Like Jumping Rope explores how ordinary experiences can become doorways into wonder and meaning. A playground becomes sacred space. A child’s imagination becomes a source of wisdom. A simple jump becomes an act of trust.

Created as part of the Inner Child Series, this story honors the child within all of us—the part that continues to dream, wonder, question, and hope. It invites children and adults alike to remember that growth does not require perfection; sometimes it simply requires the willingness to listen to the rhythm and jump.

Whip-swish… whip-swish…Sometimes faith arrives as a leap of trust in ones Self.
