I am so thankful to God for Johannah Bluedorn writing this book. I have been looking for quality books to read aloud to my children. What better quality can I find than that of the Word of God! This book is a personal answer to prayer and I am so thankful to God for sending it my way.

     Johannah Bluedorn is a home schooled graduate who is also a self-taught artist. When you look at her illustrations you don't think amateur though. Miss Bluedorn has a style all her own. Some have said it's reminiscient of Victorian contrasted with country provincial. I'm not an art critic, but I do know skill when I see it. Her pictures possess so much detail to everyday life. I can just imagine her sitting for hours in one room and drawing everything she sees as different people move in and out of her area of focus, making sure to record their contribution to the scene being played out in front of her. It's pure genius! God has given this author an exceptional gift that she has honed, through much discipline and patience, into a stunning display of His glory in her life. Her illustrations evoke close scrutiny. You'll probably find something new you didn't see before.

     In keeping with the theme of re-discovery, the text she uses causes one to think introspectively and discover again the Word of God to us. I love reading the Word of God to our children because it's alive. God's Word can mean one thing to you one day and something deeper the next. It divides and tells you about yourself. It is a mirror just like James tells us.

     This book is wonderful for any child and I highly recommend it no matter how old your children are!
