“God Gave Us Love” is an excellent book for children (and
some adults) that explains God’s love and His desire for us to love the same
way, in a straight-forward, hard to misunderstand style.
The author, Lisa Tawn Bergren, has taken a difficult subject
for some to get a handle on and stated it simply, yet not in a manner that
demeans the subject.
I also found that the illustrations by Laura J. Bryant were
an excellent complement to the text.
Written for the youngest of readers, this is an excellent
book to have in a collection. I plan on reading it to my children (6 and 7),
along with reading it to my K5 tee-ball team at our mid-practice discussion
time. It ties beautifully into our talk about the second greatest commandment
as related from Jesus to “Love our neighbor as yourself.”
You can’t go wrong with this one.
I was provided this copy of the book by Waterbrook/Multnomah
in return for an unbiased review of same.
When a charming polar bear cub climbs into bed one night, she asks her Mama a
very important question--one that little "human cubs" often wonder about, too:
"Where did I come from?"
As Mama bear tucks her youngest cub under the quilts, she gently, tenderly, and reassuringly communicates the message loving parents everywhere (bears and non-bears alike) want their little ones to hear: "We wanted you very, very much, and we are so very glad because—God gave us you."
