Heaven God's Promise for Me

Description

The light is always on because Jesus is waiting for you. The very best part of heaven is that He's going to be there too. Heaven is a real place. It's where Jesus lives and waits for those he loves to come to him. It's a place of joy and love and hope---a place where all of God's children, young and old, will stay and be happy forever. Anne Graham Lotz' inspiring text and Laura J. Bryant's whimsical illustrations make heaven accessible even for the youngest readers.

Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy and Ruth Graham, is the president and CEO of AnGeL Ministries, a nonprofit organization that undergirds her efforts to draw people into a life-changing relationship with God through his Word. Anne launched her revival ministry in 2000 and has spoken on seven continents, in more than twenty foreign countries, proclaiming the Word of God in arenas, churches, seminaries, and prisons. She is also the award-winning author of ten books, including her most recent, The Magnificent Obsession.

'Bryant's child-friendly watercolor artwork, with its sense of joy, is the best part of the book. Lotz' text is singsongy and does not always scan well: "I have a little brother / he's as cute as he can be. We do everything together / and he always looks up to me." Still, parents looking for a Christian-centered book on heaven will like the message, which the book notes "is not imagination or fantasy. It is God's promised word" (John 14:1-6 and Revelation 21-27 are cited). Expect the book and author to be heavily promoted to the target audience.' - Ilene Cooper, Booklist Review -- 'Bryant's child-friendly watercolor artwork, with its sense of joy, is the best part of the book.
