Diorio is a multi-award-winning author who writes fiction, non-fiction,

[Philadelphia,
PA, August 13, 2014] Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, multi-award
winning author and teacher, has announced the upcoming release of a
Christian-based children's picture book entitled 'Who Is Jesus?' The
new book, available later this summer, is written for children ages 5
to 8. It presents a picture of Jesus drawn from a Scriptural
perspective and, as with all her work, Diorio strives to seek truth
within Truth while remaining true to Scriptural principles.
"I
wrote this book," Diorio stated, "for three reasons: 1) I wanted
children to know Jesus as Love Personified; 2) I wanted children to
desire to become Jesus’ friend; and 3) I wanted to present the truth
about Jesus Christ in a culture that is presenting so many lies about
Him."
Diorio has written seven books, been a contributor to eight others, and has published seven booklets.
Dr.
Diorio holds numerous degrees including the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
degree in French with a concentration in Comparative Literature, the
Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree in Christian Counseling, the Master of
Philosophy (MPhil) degree in French with a concentration in Comparative
Literature, the Master of Arts (MA) degree in Italian Language &
Literature, the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Writing Popular
Fiction with a concentration in Writing for Children and the Bachelor
of Arts (BA) degree in French.
She has won numerous awards,
including Third Place for “From Feminism to Freedom” AMY Writing
Awards; Fifth Place, National Writers’ Club Short Story Contest for
“The Birthmark”; Top 100 Short Stories ranking for “The Birthmark”,
Writers’ Digest Short Story Contest; Honorable Mention for radio
script, TAKE ONE Radio Theatre; Second Place for Novel, St. Davids
Christian Writers’ Conference Contest; Third Place in Women’s Fiction,

"Children ask tough questions,"
concluded Diorio, "like 'Does Jesus still love me when I’m naughty?'
These kinds of questions can pose a special challenge to parents,
grandparents, and caregivers as they teach their children about God. In
this book I hope to help answer some of these tough questions. As
a mother, grandmother, and teacher, I have firsthand experience with
children and have personally faced their difficult questions. 'Who Is
Jesus?' presents a Biblical picture of our Savior in a way that will
help children recognize Him as Love Personified. Little children
will come to know Jesus as the essence of all that is good, holy, and
true. As this book is read to children, grandchildren, nieces, or
nephews, they will learn that Jesus Christ cares about them and loves
them with a perfect love."
