4.0 out of 5 stars Great Job, August 2, 2005

This review is from: God Knows My Name (Hardcover)

Debbie Anderson does an incredible job with this book. The artwork is great, very vivid pictures and bright colors that capture the attention of any young child.
The message of the book is great also. Anderson applies simple truths from the Bible that encourage the application of God's word to young hearts. Bible refrences on every page. Very well written in a way that engages children and teaches big truths.
Drawbacks are that the book is a bit pricey for a childrens book, and it is not very long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Attributes of God for a Child's Understanding, June 24, 2005

By 

TulipGirl "Wife to the wonder hubby, mom to f... (Florida / Kenya) - See all my reviews

This review is from: God Knows My Name (Hardcover)

Woven throughout "God Knows My Name" are the attributes of God and what they may look like on a child's level, in day to day life. Especially emphasized are God's sovereignty and His immanence.

"God sees me when I go out to play! yay! God is too wonderful for me to see Him now, but He sees me!"

Each page has unobtrusive Scripture references for parents to look up with their children, or to encourage older children to read for themselves.

While I grew up with the Eloise Wilkin's tender pictures in children's books, I really like author/illustrator Debby Anderson's cheerful, bold style. The book is energetic, without being overwhelming.

I'm happy to have this book on my children's bookshelf. And with the theme of the attributes of God, I think it would be an especially fine gift for the children of new Believers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but Good, June 24, 2005

By 

J8 - See all my reviews

This review is from: God Knows My Name (Hardcover)

Personally, I think that it is short but good. And is recommended for ages 2 to 5. It will tell you in many different wys of how God knows everything.
