This review is from: The Little Soul and the Earth: I'm Somebody! A Children's Parable from Conversations with God (Hardcover)

I really love this book because the wordings are simple yet complex. For example, the messages contained in this book has a deeper philosophical meaning and the average child would not be able to understand the deeper meaning contained in this book. Another reason why this book is so beautiful to read is because of its lovely drawings. The drawings are an inspiration to view at for countless of hours and it filled me with wonder and amazement on the beauty of life and creation. Even the colourful illustrations have a deeper symbolic meaning as it probes the reader to think about the meaning of life, reincarnation and God. This is truly a masterpiece from Neale Donald Walsch! Highly recommended for ALL ages!

This review is from: The Little Soul and the Earth: I'm Somebody! A Children's Parable from Conversations with God (Hardcover)

A while back a friend read a portion of this book to me over the phone and I just loved it! I had to have it for my grandson and one of my grown children so I bought one for them too. It points out so well how those that we believe hate us or treat us badly can be our greatest teachers.

This review is from: The Little Soul and the Earth: I'm Somebody! A Children's Parable from Conversations with God (Hardcover)

It's a pretty okay job of having the same tone as And the Sun if not the same unique impact. As expected the illustrations are amazing, and it's fun to visualize on your own. The biggest issue with this is that it only can get its full effect if you've read the other book or are familiar with the author's other material. Otherwise it's probably not the most high-powered universal way to get these ideas across. Great writer though. For anyone in the same boat as Chuck Brown, seek the definition of "parable" in the first available dictionary.
