In a search for a book that presented the beauty and mystery of the advent season with elegance and simplicity meant to be enjoyed by the entire family, God Is Coming was born. This Advent Journey traces the story of God’s relentless pursuit of His children and all of the anticipation of the holiday season in simple, rhyme and meter. Children and adults alike will be touched by the reminders of the profound truths of the gospel and families will return to these stories and these iconic images year after year.

My thoughts: My children and I are already enjoying this delightful book full of lyrical prose and beautiful pictures! Even though we are still immersed in preparing for Thanksgiving, I have enjoyed reading through this lovely book and starting to think ahead to focusing on Christ's birth. This book does a wonderful job of pointing children (and their parents!) towards God. The short verses do an excellent job of showing the big picture of God's love for us and reminding us to focus on Jesus this holiday season. This is a wonderful book for the children in your life!

I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review.

About the Author

Maggie Philpot wrote her first children’s story when she was in middle school (a story about an egg named Eggbert) and she has been dreaming up stories ever since. She lives in Fort Worth with her spectacular husband (whom she calls Husband), her two precocious children, and a rather ridiculous dog, Tucker. She is passionate about anything and anyone who attempts to make beauty, order, and meaning in this crazy world. The simple act of writing is one way to do just that.
