ABOUT THE BOOK:

Little Cub awakens one morning with some important questions on her mind: What is heaven like? How do we get there? Will we eat in heaven? Will we be angels?

During a delightful day spent wandering their arctic world, Papa gently answers each question, assuring Little Cub that heaven is a wonderful place, “a million times better” than she can imagine. He explains how God has made a way for those who love him to enter their heavenly home forever after their lives on earth are over.

Reuniting the best-selling author-illustrator team from God Gave Us You, this gentle story provides satisfying answers for a young child’s most difficult questions about heaven. Parents, grandparents, childcare professionals, librarians, Sunday school teachers, and others will appreciate the gentle approach to a topic that’s on the minds of so many “little cubs.”

Through captivating, full-color illustrations and tender, biblically sound storytelling, young readers and those who love them will find reasons to rejoice in knowing that God Gave Us Heaven.

REVIEW:

"God Gave Us Heaven" is the perfect story to tell children about heaven and everything in between. It uses simple terms and cute, cuddly characters in full-color illustrated presentation, that children can easily identify with. It's a storybook that not only educates children about the place called "heaven" but also prepares them in mind and at heart. It reassures them that there's a special place for children where only love, peace and overwhelming joy abound.

This book is great when first introducing the Bible to a kid; or if trying to comfort a sick child or a child with disability; or a child who just lost someone or something dear. Also great as a bedtime story or a Sunday Church Children's ministry story. Highly recommended as a gift for children and families with kids ages 3-8!
