Author Lisa T. Bergen has written a children's book called "God Gives Us Love" that parents should take seriously. It is an extraodinary book that shares the importance of loving others, and all of the different loves that God gives us. This book addresses the difference between liking someone and loving someone as well.Children reading this book also see the love that is shared between husband and wife, love towards siblings and love toward and for God. With this book in hand, we can teach our children how to trust in the Lord, having faith, and how God shows us His love in every way He can whenever He can.
With God's love we are able to see the good in other people, friend or foe, when otherwise without the Lord, we would only see worldly things and not the good in people. Sharing the gospel in a children's book is a beautiful thing. This book shows children that God gives the small, large, important or simple, the same love, if we but only accept Him.
As the father of a one year old who loves books, this is certainly one my wife and I will continue to return to. Many children's books aren't worth a minute of our time and this certainly is not one of them.
This book was provided for review by the WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group.
