Reviews

"Beautiful and spiritually inspiring, Gifts from God is a tribute to God and all the things that are pure in our lives--the innocence and laughter of our children, the tenderness of a newborn, the magnificence of a sunset, the 'laughter' of a waterfall. With a few simple lines, some taken from the Bible, some from her imagination, author Cynthia Reeg has created a lovely book for the entire family, one to be read not only at bedtime, but at any hour of the day. The photographs and imagery are, in one word, captivating. This is a must children's book for your Christian fiction bookshelf."

I think Gifts from God was a very pretty book. The photography was good and the single line insets were thought provoking. I think it could be used as a book for the little one on your lap or for a class discussion.

The book is excellent. It is a wonderful simple story that will appeal to PreK--3rd... It can be a teaching tool for the middle grades in getting them to talk about other examples and life related actions and thoughts...It is a wonderful example for use with the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in getting them to ... write their own story.

Gifts from God is a precious picture book for little ones. Each 2-page spread contains a beautiful, full-color photograph, a Scripture verse, and a reminder of God's loving gifts to us each and every day. It's simple words and interesting pictures make this a book that the very youngest of children will enjoy listening to, but it's also a great reminder of God's love to older children and even to adults!

I have to confess that I wish that this book was a coffee table book, a very large coffee table book. The photographs that fill each page are absolutely gorgeous. Gifts from God by Cynthia Reeg is an inspiration book about God's goodness to us, His beloved children. Photographs are the work of Mary Sue Roberts and they are truly works of art. Her photo art work fills each page completely with words inserted in the photograph. The first page of each pair of pages has a Scripture verse and the second page has a personal exclamation of joyous praise! This book is so beautiful--I have read it through over and over, enjoying the beauty of the lovely pictures and meditating on the verses.
