God Gave Us Heaven

WaterBrook Press (August 19, 2008)

MY REVIEW:
This is a precious book that my kids and I sat down to read together. The illustrations are beautiful and whimsical - the kids actually giggled at the antics of the polar bears in some of the pictures. Most importantly the subject matter about Heaven was well laid out and it got some discussion going among the kids and I which was wonderful! I recommend this book for gifts for children - it is well worth it!
