God's love is evident everywhere



Through nature, small acts of kindness, and scripture, evidence of God's love is everywhere we look if we just have the eyes to see.  Encouraging a young child to truly see what is around him and know that God is the center will follow him into adulthood and create the habit of intentionally looking for evidence of His love.  Through short poems, prayers, and brief scripture, Jean Fischer has published a tool to start using with the smallest of children to develop just such eyes.

I originally chose this book because I have loved Precious Moments since I was a teen, collecting more than my fair share of the figurines and even topping my wedding cake with one.  I love the fact that Fischer used these adorable whimsical children and animals to illustrate the fact that evidence of God's love for us is all around us.  The fact that this volume is in a sturdy board book format makes it perfect for little hands and is light enough in weight for those hands to carry.  The rhythm of the rhyming poems will delight children and the scripture chosen for each poem is short enough that even very young children can memorize and begin to hide God's word in their heart. 

If you are looking for a gift for children ages 2-6, I don't think you can go wrong with Little Book of God's Love by Jean Fischer.  I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and am in no way obligated to write a positive one.  Thank you, Ms. Fischer, for the reminders of how much God loves each of us and renewing my love for Precious Moments.
