“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous–and how well I know it.
Psalm 139:13-14
Last year, my children (ages 16 and 13) attended the March for Life rally in Washington, DC. I was so proud of them–their desire to attend and brave the frigid temperatures and snow, all to make a stand for life, which is precious in the sight of God. As I watched the rally online, I was awestruck at huge number of people (estimated at 500,000) standing up for the unborn. I was reminded of how precious children are to God and how each and every child is valuable.
As a Children’s Ministry leaders, may we never forget that every child who shows up for our weekend and weekday programming matters to God. Children from traditional homes and children from non-traditional homes. Children from the suburbs and children from the inner city. African-American children, Asian-American Children, and Caucasian children. Children born in America and children born in a foreign land. Rich children and poor children. Children with special needs children. Well-behaved children and misbehaved children. Prodigal children. Children born to teen moms. Children born to a single parent and children born to two parents. Adopted children, abandoned children, orphaned children. Well-educated children and uneducated children. Children who come to church in a fancy car or SUV, by taxi cab, by bus or by foot. Thin children and pudgy children.
“I had so much fun making the world! But do you know the very best thing I made? It was you!”
What child doesn’t love to receive mail? In this heartwarming lift-the-flap picture book, children can open and read their own personal mail from God as they experience some of the best-loved stories of the Bible. As each captivating story unfolds, children will eagerly await the opportunity to open the envelope and read God’s message of love written especially for them. They will also delight in the final envelope that encourages them to write their own personal letter to God.
What I Liked:
This storybook is unlike any other I’ve ever read – and I have read quite a few. Each beautifully illustrated story begins by using very kid-friendly language to explain Bible truths. Each story ends with a related Bible verse (from the very kid-friendly New International Reader’s Version) that is a promise from God and a love letter from God to the child. I love that the love letter begins with Dear ________ to personalize to the child reading it.
Even the title of the Bible stories were unique, such as “Noah Needs His Nails (Noah’s Ark) and “The Lions Who Lost Their Lunch (Daniel in the Lions’ Den). And as crazy as it seems, I love the book’s size. It’s perfect for an older child to read on their own as well as the perfect size for a parent to read to their child – the child would have no problem seeing the pictures or opening the love letter flap.
What I Think Was Missing:
In my opinion, nothing was missing.
My Recommendation:
This book should be part of your family’s storybook library. Glenys has graciously offered to give a copy away to one of my readers. Enter to win a copy by emailing me at kidminspiration@gmail.com. Deadline to enter is 11:59pm Monday, January 26th.
