Precious Book! Wonderful Gift!

This is a really special book. A friend of mine gave it to my daughter for her second birthday and we love it so much that I just purchased it for the child of another friend of mine. At the end of the book it gives "For God So Loved the World," in different languages too and my daughter loves to hear me try to say them. In the front of the book it also gives a place to write "to and from," as well as a short message. This book makes a great gift for those little Christians in your life.

A Beautiful Book of Biblical Truth!

For God So Loved the World: My John 3:16 Book was written by Dandi Daley Mackall, award-winning author of more than 400 books. Starting with creation and all its wonders, this book tells of the gifts God has given us. Each rhyming stanza of four lines ends with "For God so loved the world." The author then lovingly tells that God's greatest gift was Jesus. She clearly explains the Gospel message in a way little hearts can understand. This book highlights a global theme. Each page features the title phrase in a different language including Spanish, Tahitian, Nigerian, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Portugese, French and English. The book concludes by quoting John 3:16. Russian artist Elena Selivanova fills the pages with beautiful illustrations. Children from around the world are shown in many different environments. Spectrums of color delight the eyes while sweet expressions tickle the heart. What I Like: Everything! This book is beautifully written with a strong Scriptural foundation. The illustrations are fantastic. (The picture here appears pastel, but the book is not.) My kids love this book and I do, too. What I Dislike: Nothing. Overall Rating: Excellent.

Stunning and true

This book is a literary achievement, pulling off stunning originality in verse and art to bring fresh meaning to perhaps the most "famous" verse in the Bible. Our children love seeing the verse in different languages and seeing God's love play out in different settings. This book is a classic!
