Is God Behind the Big Blue Sky?

By Katherine Roberts Moore

How does a grandmother answer her grandson's question: Is God Behind the Big Blue Sky? This charming book is one grandmother's response to the "theological" questions posed by four-year Charlie. His questions are fairly typical of what children ages four to seven would ask. These questions could throw curves to parents who may be caught off guard with such pointed questions about faith and God. Would you know how to answer them? Charlie's questions include, "Who is God?" and "When I fly in a plane, will I see God?" The answers to such queries are open-ended and broad. But reading this book will provide a foundation on how to broach such topics with young children. The theme presents responses telling of God's supreme goodness and his overwhelming love for his Creation. God's love is likened to the care that a child receives from a loving parent. These are important spiritual messages for children and adults alike. Katherine Roberts Moore, Christian educator and spiritual director, wrote this book to answer her grandson's questions about God. "Silence and centering prayer are most inspiring for me. The actual cessation of activity and going into a silent mode allows me to focus and to think more clearly." She lives with her husband near Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, and is working on her next book.
