Customer Reviews

this is how I want my kids to see God!

I LOVE THIS BOOK! Not only does it satisfy my English-teacher love for imagery, but it's biblically accurate (references for each metaphor in the back of the book). The illustrations are quirky and the repetition is a little clunky, but the content is solid gold that I haven't found anywhere else. I really want my children to know all these sides of God. I highly recommend this book!

God is Like a Mother Hen. . .

It is very difficult to find children's books that describe the nature of God in ways that children can understand. Carolyn Stahl Bohler, by refering to metaphors for God found in the scriptures does this in a humorous and creative style. She also opens the door for personal spiritual reflection. "God is like a mother hen, a caring daddy, a smiling teacher. . . and much, much more." After each series of metaphors, Bohler allows for the child to imagine what God is like. The images in the book are inclusive - God is more than just a father! Also, the illustrations are simple and bright, very eye-catching! Bohler has done a wonderful job of introducing the amazing complexities of God's nature - the love, tenderness, joy and compassion - to a child. By listing the Biblical references at the conclusion, Bohler provides parents and teachers with a wonderful teaching resource. A wonderful Christmas, Easter, baptism, etc. gift for a child!
