Having lost three best friends at 16 and a younger brother at 18, God gave me a heart for heaven at an early age. He also filled me with a heart of joy. Your Home in Heaven reflects both.
My Thoughts
When I first saw this book, I thought it was going to be something different than what it was. You see, I expected this to be a book that would help kids to feel more comfortable with the idea of Heaven, which is so necessary when dealing with the loss of a loved one. While I do believe that this book can be a great way to do that as well, I found it to be so much more than that. It allowed kids to imagine what their home in Heaven may look like, but also teaches valuable lessons on the fruit of the spirit. Each element of the home has a fruit that it represents- a heart shaped door for love, a strong roof for peace, a joyous yellow color for joy, etc. Beyond that, we are given some great examples of how kids are able to show those fruits in various ways in their own daily lives--- in ways that make sense to kids. The book was filled with bright and colorful illustrations that kids are sure to love. It also encourages kids' imaginations by allowing them to think about what their home may look like. Overall, this is a really sweet book and a great one to add to your home book collection!
