A Book About God
PreSchool-Grade 2-Originally published in 1953 (Lothrop) and newly illustrated, this is a sweetly eloquent, simply expressed, nondenominational discussion of God. He is as bright as the day and restful as the night, as strength-giving as the sun, as essential as the air we breath, as nourishing as the rain, as protective as the mountains, and as mysterious as the sea. Everything beautiful is a reflection of God, whose love is limitless. Each concept is splendidly illustrated by a realistic, double-page oil painting of a lovely outdoor scene: boys running joyfully through a flowery meadow, frogs resting contentedly on blooming lily pads, kittens frolicking playfully in a grassy field, and swans and cygnets gliding gracefully on a rain-spattered pond. Together, the text and pictures create a mood of serenity, majesty, and beauty.Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VACopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
