About the Book This story came to life as the author was preparing to lead a lesson on the virtue of humility in a purity group in which her daughters were involved. In an effort to remember what humility was, the acronym E.G.G.S came to her mind. Each letter stands for an element of the definition of humility. Ironically, God had to teach Maria what humility was in a profound way when she was in the hospital for four days and leaned on the arms of some wonderful family and friends. The original story did not have Teresa learning the lesson about asking for help when needed. This was entered in after God reminded Maria that humility is not only serving, but allowing oneself to be served when the time arises. God is so good and her prayer is that this story brings all the glory to Him About the Author Maria Stewart lives in Wichita, Kansas with her husband, Chris, and their seven children.

About the Illustrator Steve Cost is a blessed individual doing what he loves doing, teaching young people about the creation of art, enjoying his grandchildren and helping others. "Reading, An Omelet fit for a King, as a family was not only entertaining but also spiritually enriching. My children enjoyed the simple storyline as well as the catechetical component of living as children of God. The conversation that followed our reading time was most thoughtful as we discussed ways that we could grow in understanding the EGGS that apply to each of us each day. As a home schooling mother of eight, I am always eager to read books that I can incorporate into my curriculum and I believe that An Omelet Fit for a King will be a story that we take off of the shelf often to revisit it's deep and profound message."
