I'm not sure why the book's description and all 3 Goodreads reviewers are dancing around this.... This book is about Jesus. Jesus is the lighthouse. Which is great if you're a Christian. But we're not. So this book and its description felt sneaky. You don't need to sneak-attack Jesus. Plenty of people believe in him and would probably enjoy this book. Be candid about your subject so you can target the proper audience. Then people like me won't accidentally read it and give it 1 star reviews.

The illustrations are kind of cool. They’re not really my style but I can appreciate the aesthetic. This is one of those picture books that isn’t really for kids. They would find it dull and the metaphor would go over their heads. However, it doesn’t quite have the maturity or fullness of a book for adults, either. I read through the Kindle version. Hopefully the print version got a better edit, because the punctuation was poor, and there was enough rhythm to the poetry that when it wasn’t there - when it seemed to skip a beat - it was glaring. I didn’t love the font choice, either.

A joy to behold!
This is a beautifully written and illustrated picture book. The story it tells is universal and will appeal to parents of young children. I’m not sure the children themselves will understand the theme, but they will certainly enjoy the illustrations. The font was very hard to read on my iPad.

Light in the storm
Adventurous tale of a man's voyage on a stormy sea, where guidance toward home came from a source he may never fully understand. Rhyming verses playfully carry the story to a soft mystic ending.

Started strong then just went blah. This really could have been a good story. Unfortunately I just did not care for it at all.

I'd love to read this book over and over again. This beautifully narrated story with amazing illustrations makes its a wonderful read.

Creative. But I don’t agree with the philosophy.
