5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful illustrations for Psalm 104, February 3, 2006

This review is from: Celebrate the Earth: Psalm 104 (Hardcover)

This inspiring book illustrates Psalm 104 in a very creative way. Each page is a wonderful, brilliant illustration that describes the portion of the psalm, which is written on the adjacent page. The psalm of David (104)is also written in its entirety in the back of the book.

One other addition, which I appreciated was that this book also includes some excerpts/writings from the Wisdom of the Ages, such as St. Francis of Assisi, St. Basil, and others, which I found enlightening.

I recommend this book highly for young readers.

This review is from: Celebrate the Earth: Psalm 104 (Hardcover)

This is a lovely book for young children. The illustrations are enchanting and have captivated the children with whom I have shared it. Although the text is a psalm, you need not be concerned that it is a "religious" book in that is not preachy. I have given it to children of several faiths.
