 | God Gave Us Heaven Author: Lisa T. Bergren Reading level: Ages 4-8 Publisher: WaterBrook Press (August 19, 2008) ISBN-10: 1400074460 ISBN-13: 978-1400074464 |
This is a delightful children's story about Heaven. It is told on a child's level with cute photos of polar bears as the characters
Although I am not a fan of books with talking animals in them, this book does have an important message in it.
I do wish that the way to Heaven was elaborated on a little more in this story and about how to actually get there. I understand that this a child's book and that many younger children don't understand "Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that we must accept Him as personal Savior" to get to Heaven. There are children who do not attend church and this may be the only book they read that tells them anything about God. This book could be a powerful ministry tool to those children.
About the Book:
Little Cub awakens one morning with some important questions on her mind: What is heaven like? How do we get there? Will we eat in heaven? Will we be angels?
During a delightful day spent wandering their arctic world, Papa gently answers each question, assuring Little Cub that heaven is a wonderful place, “a million times better” than she can imagine. He explains how God has made a way for those who love him to enter their heavenly home forever after their lives on earth are over.
Reuniting the best-selling author-illustrator team from God Gave Us You, this gentle story provides satisfying answers for a young child’s most difficult questions about heaven. Parents, grandparents, childcare professionals, librarians, Sunday school teachers, and others will appreciate the gentle approach to a topic that’s on the minds of so many “little cubs.”
Through captivating, full-color illustrations and tender, biblically sound storytelling, young readers and those who love them will find reasons to rejoice in knowing that God Gave Us Heaven.
