A brand new Tales from the Truth picture book for reading aloud and readers. I have reviewed other books about heaven and never felt like I had one I could embrace well. Well, that has changed!
Things I liked about the book:
- Engaging opening: "Have you ever been invited?"
- Defines the best invitations, "to unforgettable events with amazing people."
- Jesus is connected to this teaching about Heaven so intimately, and who He is as our King and Rescuer is established clearly.
- John 3:16 paraphrased as the invitation.
- In true fashion for this series, myths of heaven are addressed and the Truth of the Bible is taught.
- The illustrations enhance the descriptive language, and the celebratory tone of the book, and build connections for the reader.
- Heaven is described well and with the Truth from the Bible- a place of no more sin as well as splendor and glory.
- Could there have been bible references on the footers or headers of pages that connected to the truth shared? (The author's letter at the end shares verses).
- Is the connection between sin and eternal life clear enough? it's so well written with Truth, and I trust that those who will choose to share this book will also know the Truth.
- I'm reviewing a pdf and I wonder if the little picture envelope at the end of the book is just an image or if it is an envelope that opens?
the book....
The Goodbook company really wants those who are in children's ministry to be able to use their products to teach. They provide the book illustrations to share on a screen, and often related handouts, and this time it's a whole party pack! https://www.thegoodbook.com/foreverparty If you pre-order the book you can even get extra bonus goodies when you submit your info.
The book launches to the world- May 1st so order before then to get the pre-order bonuses. You won't be disappointed!
Thankful to partner with the goodbook company and read an early release, I'll update my review when my physical copy arrives.
