God Gave Us So Much (Book Review)

God Gave Us So Much by Lisa Tawn Bergren art by Laura J. Bryant

This is a three book treasury, including God Gave Us the World, God Gave Us Love and God Gave Us Heaven.  This book has delightful illustrations that fill the pages and compliment the story. Little Cub is told about God and the world He created, His love for us and heaven in a way that is easy for a child to understand. I read this to my 4 1/2 year old son and he enjoyed it and seemed to understand the concepts that are being portrayed. It was a great way to introduce these ideas and open up further discussions about them. Little Cub asks many of the questions I’ve already heard from my son and the story explains and answers them very well. I think this would be a great fit for a child around the age of four on up. It would even work well for an older child who may not have been told about God and His love for us. The writing, while understandable for a young child, is not childlike that an older child might object too. A great book to read and discuss with children. Very sweet, yet honest, relatable, and so important.

I received this book from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for a review. The opinion expressed was in no way influenced by the publisher.
