My Review ~

This is a poetic narrative of God's plan, from creation to the fall, and finally redemption. The writing is descriptive and well done, written in an appropriate level of understanding for young children. This is an excellent way to present Christianity to children through the use of pictorial messages accompanying this poetic story. Beautiful illustrations were done by Matthew Sample, II. This is a very well done hardcover book for a reasonable price.
