Theological Issues
I purchased this book to read the week leading up to Easter. There are some problems with what this book communicates. For instance, in the Gloomy Garden story, it states, “Father, are you there?” “Do I have to die? Is there any other way we can teach the world about heaven.” The problem here is that Jesus didn’t die to teach us about heaven. He died as a sacrifice for our sins, once and for all. These two things are not the same. The love letters take liberties in explaining how God feels. If scripture doesnt tell us these details, why are we assuming them? The love letter in The Darkest Day story states that God cried when Jesus died. It states that God felt alone. Scripture does not indicate this. All scripture tells us is that God turned his back on Jesus. The author is assuming what God thought and in that way is placing herself in God’s shoes. This book will not be used again in our home. Our children even noticed the problems.
A must have for parents!
I searched for a book to explain Easter to my children in a way that shows them the love of what Jesus did for us- this book has that covered. It also gave me a chance to explain happy tears to my babies when they asked why I was crying as I read it š The way this book explains Jesus's love, humility and sacrifice and what heaven is, is astounding and touching. The Easter week story is presented in a way that reaches hearts of all ages. Throughout the book are "Letters From God" that will just ring all the way down in your heart. This is a must have for parents❤
Loving description of God's love for us as his children
This book is so cool. I bought it for my 3 year old grandaughter. The letters from god would be super for anyone to receive. They just show how much god loves us. They all make you cry. The pictures and easter story are excellenty done. Great book in every way
A Lovely Book focused on Christ's Love
I got this book for Easter for my 6 year old son. I cried as I read through it and my son was totally engaged, the love letters make it fun. I love the simple way the book explains the stories we read in the bible of Christ's last few days with a focus on his loving, humble heart. I loved how the book showed that deep love was the focus of all Jesus did. I am going to have to look into other books by this author because this is exactly what I want to emphasize to my children. I highly recommend this book!
The perfect, most meaningful Easter Gift! Wonderfully written and illustrated.
From inside the book cover: “Children will love the excitement of opening and reading their own personal mail from God as they follow seven beautifully illustrated Bible stories centered on Holy Week. Each story leading up to Jesus’ glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday includes God’s very own words of love, encouragement, and hope.” This is the perfect Easter gift for my grandchildren and I can’t wait to read it with them.
Beautiful book, beautiful message
We are reading this book through Holy Week as a family. Beautiful book, beautiful message!
Charming and approachable
We have used this book as a conversation starter for our Sunday School lessons. The illustrations are lovely, the language is approachable for elementary age children, and the love letter at the end of each story makes the story of Jesus personal. I highly recommend having a copy on your bookshelf.
Awesome
This is my absolute favorite children’s author. I have ordered (& read) all of her books and have pre-ordered the ones being published in 2019! The books are perfect for the grandkids – & also wonderful for the adults who read them to the children! They are extremely well written and the illustrations are adorable! I’m buying copies for all the kids on my Christmas list this year!
As usual Glennys did a beautiful job on this book
As usual Glennys did a beautiful job on this book. Have mine ready for my grand children’s visit Great gift but grandma keeps a copy at her home too
Beautifully illustrated and written; a new favorite
Beautiful book!! Our family’s new easter favorite. It goes through various aspects of the Easter story with a letter for each, which could easily be used as a devotional with small children leading up to Easter. We used the feet washing story/Passover section to teach the kids about serving others at for our Seder/Passover meal—a wonderfully written and illustrated book!
