This Is God: I've Given You Everything You Need, A Better World Starts With You

By Phil Vassar

Phil Vassar, a leading Nashville songwriter and performer, was reading a newspaper and thinking about what a messed-up world we had. He started writing down what God might say to us. "I'm disappointed in what I'm seeing . . . I've seen you hurt yourselves enough . . . I've been waiting for a change in you . . . All I'm asking for is love."Vassar's CD, "American Child," had been released in July 2002 to critical and commercial acclaim. But when Arista, his record label, heard "This is God," it made the extraordinary decision of recalling all copies of "American Child" and re-releasing it with the addition of a new track: "This is God."The book "This Is God" is a gentle reminder, in bold graphics, of some of the things God wants people to do and be and remember. It is a great gift for parents to give their children at graduation or any time of the year.I put you here for a reason.If someone is hungry, give him food. If someone is thirsty, give him something to drink.Be careful how you use my name.I gave you the moon, the earth, the stars, and my son.I'm ready to listen whenever you're ready to talk.All I'm asking for is love.

Great little gift

This little book includes a CD with the song, "This Is God," and an explanation of what prompted Phil Vassar to write it. The rest of the book has interesting and encourging short quotes. I found them suitable for framing - I bought several books so I could cut one or two up to put in frames and give as gifts.

For a small book it packs a bunch!

If you are looking for a little boost to your everyday religous routine, then this is the book for you. Phil Vassar takes words from his own song "THIS IS GOD", and places them in a book that grabs at your heart! Short and sweet sentences that pull you back into the 'real' world of thinking and believing in GOD! I have truly read this book over and over again as it gives me hope that I too could be exactly who I want to be!
