This was the sweetest little book. Perfect to read on my b-day🥰

[Samantha]

This is so cute. Read it to your kids and for yourself. There are only *five* actual verses in here, but it's definitely a sweet reminder.

[Rose Of Sharon]

I cannot wait to have children to read them this book. I am always amazed how Max Lucado talks about God's love and grace.

[Gigi]

I needed this today.

Beautiful

This little book is precious, dear, and filled with truth and love. Great to read every now and again to remember how God’s love means everything.

[Coralie]

This is an adorable little book. My grandmother gave me a copy several years ago and it is very dear to my heart. It shows us how much God loves each of us and sometimes how he loves us through many different mediums. It's sweet, cute, and perfect for a bedtime story for young kids. I just love Max Lucado's stuff!!

Reread with my baby brother today for Christmas. He loved it as much as I did. He thought it was funny and made sure we read the pictures, too.

This book is great for all ages. I particularly needed it right now, and it’s been a wonderful reminder of how much God cares for me. ❤️

[Olivia Gold]

This short, sweet book was exactly the encouragement I needed when I first read it during my college years. I love that Lucado uses metaphors that the average person can relate to easily, and the simple pictures add to the message. I have re-read this book many times, and I highly recommend it to Christians who need a quick word of encouragement that they are loved.

[Nancy Dillingham]

This is filled with sweet assurances of God's love for us. I chose this rating because of this books simplicity. Is there a printed version I would love to be able to give this as a gift book to a mother whose child was born with a disability.

[Jaclyn]

One of the best purchases I ever made. I have quoted this book so many times in cards, letters, talking to others and have gifted it to many people. Simple yet powerful. But then, I am very partial to Max Lucado's writings.

[Analie]

Such a sweet book! I fell in love with the whimsical drawings, such as a phone with the line going up toward heaven. They make it easy for a child (or adult) to cozy up with and access the simple, real truths of God's fondness and genuine love for us. As Max says, "His favorite name is Father."

[Astynnia Gan]

Such an adorable book! I finished it in a night by reading this as a bedtime story to my church sisters.
Taking an excerpt from the book:
"So promise me you'll never forget... that you aren't an accident or an incident... you are a gift to the world."

[Ethan Linser]

Bruh, I read this whenever I need to remember the depth of His Love. I have never finished it, I keep reading it till I start to cry, and it’s only like 50pages each with a single sentence on it. It is perfectly contextualized to the modern American culture.

[Maddy]

My Grandma passed away almost two years ago. This book was one of three on her shelf, and I finally decided to read it. It brought me a lot of joy. I’m excited to one day read this to my children and grandchildren in turn.

[Colleen Patricia]

Absolutely the Greatest book for every child born. A true keepsake on the bookshelf & in your heart. 5 stars

[Teri]

Beautiful book in words, pictures, and thoughts.

[Chance Conway]

Very Inspiring! Makes you feel happy and good! 😀☀️

[April Rudolph]

One of my absolute favorites! Everyone needs to read this!

[Alex Lee]

A sweet way of validating how wonderful life is, all due to God. God is life, the way the truth. God is experiential and giving as we are made to get a chance to individuate.

[Shell-A-Rella]

What a nice way to be reminded of just how important each person is.

[Lynn LeGault]

This is a sweet uplifting little book as I believe a version of God is in all of us. This book makes you feel love and strength, a testament to the power we all possess. Quick read that makes you feel happy and warm inside.

[Claudia]

[Rick Christiansen]

It was Easter. Why not?

[Erin]

4.5 stars. Review to follow.

[Frances]

Simple but powerful. Message: God loves you, he made you, he knew you before you were born, he knit you in your mothers womb, you are important.

[Erika Lorenz]

[Kyla Forest]

A beautiful reminder of how God looks at His children! It made me sob!

[Nat Peanut]
