God's Great Love for You [Hardcover]

In simple, lilting language, pastor and author Warren (The Purpose Driven Life) describes Gods love in comparative terms (Deeper than all the oceans/ Higher than the moon and the stars) and as something beyond comparison (Gods great love for you is... perfect. / And everywhere/ And will never end). Its a lot to wrap ones head around, so British illustrator Saunders introduces a wide-eyed, pug-nosed girl as a surrogate and guide. She wears a red dress with a long ribbon that unfurls behind her---a kind of spiritual contrail as she travels the world. Her only companion for most of the book is a plump white dove, but shes never lonely or afraid, having been assured that she is one of Gods creations and that he loves you with a great big unstoppable love. Warrens name will undoubtedly attract interest; the nondenominational, monotheistic language offers broad appeal; and there are some striking images, such as an ants-eye view of the girl in a hot-air balloon soaring above. But for the most part, the book is more pleasant than revelatory.Gods Great Love for You, written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rick Warren and illustrated by Chris Saunders, takes children on a whimsical and heartfelt journey that lets them know Gods love is with them wherever they go.
