Review: That’s Where God Is

That's Where God IsThat’s Where God Is by Daniel Morrow

Summary (from Goodreads.com): A boy’s simple question sparks a search for God. Prompted by his grandfather, he discovers God’s presence everywhere: in a powerful storm, in a friend’s help, and in his sister’s kindness. Then his grandfather shares another truth: God also can be found in our hearts, if we inviite him in. Filled with wonder, That’s Where God Is! teaches children ages 4 – 8 that God is always with them. Moving beyond simply telling about God, it gently guides children’s spiritual growth, showing them how to recognize God’s presence for themselves. With an introduction by Lee Strobel, it’s ideal for parents, grandparents, and teachers who want to deepen a young child’s walk with God.

My Thoughts: What an absolutely wonderful book! At the beginning of the story, he asks his grandpa where God is, and is told to look for Him over the next week. From the playground and home to the zoo – and even in a storm – a little boy discovers that God is everywhere. The book ends after he tells his grandfather of his discoveries, and his grandfather leads him to invite God into his heart. What an absolutely wonderful, natural way to help introduce children to the notion of having God in their hearts! I love how it’s not forced, but a natural extension of the story of how a boy finds God in everything everywhere.

There also are Bible verses as the boy discovers God in various places, each verse applies to the location in which He is found. Then, at the end of the book we have Psalm 139:1-10. A great verse to share with children.

My 4-year-old son and I absolutely loved this story. When I asked him what he thought, the first word he said was “good.” Then he said, “It was fun.” The pictures are pretty, too.

One last note, there’s a message at the back from Lee Strobel, and athiest-turned-Christian. The author of The Case for Christ and other similar titles, Strobel discloses that this book was written by his daughter and son-in-law. Having read The Case for Christ – and knowing Strobel’s story – I found this information made me smile.
