God’s Love In My Heart ~ Children’s Book Review

God’s Love Gives Me StrengthGods Love In My Heart Cover

This beautifully illustrated book by Nadine Wickenden contains a wonderful story of a father explaining how big God’s love is to his tired child, and how it gives us strength.  Before the little rabbit knows it, they have made it back home safe and sound to their comfy burrow.

Jesus said to receive the kingdom of God like a little child (Luke 18:17), and I believe this is one of the reasons why I enjoy children’s books so much.  Truths about God are put into simple terms, and my mind and my heart need simple.  Not that it isn’t good to read books that are in-depth and insightful, full of scripture and commentary – but sometimes it’s needful to get back to the basics.

God’s Love In My Heart is one of those books that touched by heart and helped turn my mind back to that simple truth which is most important, that which gets me through my day: God loves me.  What a privilege it is to be able to tell my daughter that God loves her!

Although this is recommended for ages 0 – 3, my 4 year old really enjoyed it.  She liked finding the hearts on each page, and became engaged in the story.  One of my duties in this year’s homeschool coop will be helping in the Toddler class. This book is going in my supply bag – I believe they are going to love it!
