This review is from: God Knows Me! (Psalm 139) (Golden Psalms Books) (Hardcover)

This book is a great introduction to Psalms for you to share with your children. I bought this right away because since I was very young Psalm 139 has been very close to my heart. Oh but when I opened the book and read it to my child I had to read through tears. This is such a beautiful book with delightful yet simple illustrations. (Way to go Kristi!) Keep in mind the book is paraphrased from the Bible and not verbatim but a fantastic translation!

When your child is older and can read Psalm 139 (from the HOLY BIBLE) on his or her own it will make even more sense and beauty. The entire book is enthralling but especially the illustration inspired from verses 14-15 of Psalms 139! This particular illustration has a see-through version of a Mother's tummy with the baby inside. How perfect!

I highly recommend this book for parents to read to their child regularly! It's a very special book that illustrates a glimmer of our OMNIPOTENT AND OMNIPRESENT GOD! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you Joel!

This review is from: God Knows Me! (Psalm 139) (Golden Psalms Books) (Hardcover)

What a fantastic job Mr. Anderson does in taking a Pslam that has always brought me great comfort and peace and bringing it down to the world of a child. Even I was awed by the simple words, "God knows me." I plan on reading this to my boys every night at bedtime. What a wonderful last thought before turning out the lights: that to God "even the darkness would be as bright as daytime..." The illustrations are warm and colorful. Showing things that aren't there as if they were. Great way to show kids how the hands of God hold you. And I like the fact that the child in the book could be either a boy or a girl. Great for both! Overall, I plan on giving this book as a gift to every family I know. It's a MUST have!

This review is from: God Knows Me! (Psalm 139) (Golden Psalms Books) (Hardcover)

I am a Children's Minister and received this book as a gift from one of my parents. The illustrations of this book are fantastic! They are top to bottom and side to side-totally illustrated. Psalm 139 is a great Psalm for children to understand how God "knows" them. Mr. Anderson takes you on a tour through a child's mind and helps them understand that God is always with them. From being in the dark to waking up-God is always there. I recommend this book to reinforce: God's presence, Friendship, as well as illustrating faith. At a great price buy one for every parent you know!
