Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
Even there your hand will guide me,
Your right hand will hold me fast.
Psalm 139: 7–10
About the author and illustrator:
Doris Wynbeek Rikkers is a freelance writer and editor who has written many bestselling children’s books and Bibles. Although she loves the ocean, she lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, surrounded by her books, her flower gardens, and her family and friends.
Spanish artist Fernando Juarez illustrates children’s books and also works as an art supervisor at the Madrid studio Ilion Animation. The company produces 3D feature films for children. Fernando has three kids himself, and if he has any time left after work and family, you might catch him playing guitar in a rock band.
MY REVIEW: My first impression upon opening this book was how beautiful the pictures are. The illustrations were spot-on in depicting the story that was being told with perfect clarity. The chapters are short, sweet and to the point, very easy for young readers to follow and understand.
Each story teaches the children of how wonderful the Spirit of God works and moves in the heart of man. It gives them a sense of peace with an assurance that they will never be alone, that they have a constant companion directing their paths. To the very end there is an assurance in following Jesus.
I believe young children will enjoy reading this book or even just looking at the pictures, because they tell the story quite vividly.

DeleteWhat colour is Jesus in the book? The answer is very important to me.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened to my previous comment. However, the color in the illustration is irrelevant. God created all and He is no respecter of persons.
