This delicious story proves that the best way to defeat an enemy is by making him your friend! A perfect summer is ruined when Jeremy Ross moves into town. He laughs when you strike out at baseball and is playing with your best friend. But Dad has some real wisdom about getting rid of enemies–he’ll make an Enemy Pie. There’s one critical pre-condition, first the two boys must spend a whole day together! As wonderful aromas waft from the kitchen, the boys have a day of fun and hearts begin to change. This is another terrific case study of Love Changing Lives. [This story illustrates the Abraham Lincoln quote, “do I not destroy my enemies, when I make them my friends?”]
