David Mauro was a dad of 3 young girls.  They were packing to move and he realized they accumulated hundreds of stuffed animals! 🧸

They were their favorite toys. And were with his girls, morning, noon and night. 🌙

He thought about how much time they spent with these toys - and how they had no spiritual value. 

As a Christian parent, he felt like he missed an opportunity. "Why didn't we just get them a plush Jesus that spoke Bible verses?" ✝️ 

"I felt like a bad parent - until I searched. 🔎 Then I realized - it didn't exist..."

Big Toy made mice, superheros and cartoon characters. Why were there were no Christian toys?  

There's a market with 2 billion Christians worldwide, right?

Oh. Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street own 35% of Big Toy.  Now it all made sense...💡

--------

Mauro felt God was leading him to make the doll for more than just his family. But following would take faith - and a willingness to risk everything. 

He approached 100 manufacturers. Ninety-eight said no. Two said yes. One nailed the design. ✅

Then came the big gamble: wiring their kids college savings to people halfway around the world they'd never met. 

Mauro joked, “My faith was at least the size of a mustard seed. My friends said my brain was, too.” 🧠

Thankfully, they arrived! 🙏 

Now he had a barn full of dolls and no way to sell them. "God said, hold my Holy water", Mauro joked.

Newsmax found out about the doll, and featured it on air. Then CBS, OAN and Fox News.  

Orders came in like fish in Peter's net on the other side of the boat! 🐟

And so did thousands of 5⭐ reviews. But, what was in those reviews told the real story... 

It was the personal stories behind them:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"This is by far one of the best gifts you could give a child! The quality of the material and sweetness in his voice is wonderful. My grandkids have already memorized all he says. They love him and sleep with him every night. Thank you for this wonderful gift that will continue to keep giving back!"
-Darlene L.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"This is one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever given my daughter. Seeing her connect with this Jesus doll has been incredibly touching. It's more than just a toy. It's a beautiful reminder of faith, love, and the greatest gift we can give our children: knowing Jesus.  The quality is wonderful, and the message behind it is even more powerful. It has opened conversations, brought comfort, and reinforced values that matter deeply to our family. Thank you for creating something so special and purpose-driven. Your work is truly a blessing."
-Ariadine

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"My great granddaughter was was having troubles sleeping through the night. The first night she had it, she took the Jesus doll to bed and slept all night long. Just knowing Jesus is with her must be comforting her. She loves it. Thank you for this wonderful Jesus doll."
-Kelly P.

This toy opened a door to Jesus parents never had before.  It was reaching kids in a whole new way!

The Talking Jesus Doll was created to help kids in their formative years, hear, learn and put Jesus words into practice.

In spite of the obstacles, the toy that one dad made for his kids - has now reached over 100K others.

Today, Jesusdoll.com is a small family company that makes Christian toys, books and games.  

Mauro's advice to Christian grand/parents:  "Give Jesus early and often;  Always and in all ways."

And their slogan says it all: Teach your kids before the World does.
