You Are A Child of God - Michelle Alisa Fritch

The holidays are just around the corner, and You Are a Child of God is a thoughtful gift for someone who loves creative, faith-filled activities. It’s not just a coloring book - it’s a way to reflect on God’s love and create wonderful memories. It’s also a perfect stocking-stuffer for Sunday school students or a unique addition to a family’s faith journey. Give a gift that inspires and shares God’s love this season!

"You Are a Child of God" brings together many of the most important messages in the Bible. Highlighting verses from both the Old and New Testaments, the author helps people understand what the Scriptures teach about our unique creation and God's involvement in our lives. This book is fun for kids to color and invites adult readers to meditate on Scripture while engaging their inner child through coloring. Author Michelle Fritch is a child of God, a mother of three, an ordained Episcopal Priest, and a counselor who fiercely believes that love can change the world.

MY REVIEW: This is a beautifully illustrated book, but it isn't quite what I expected. In my opinion, this is more of a keepsake for an older child. Even adults will appreciate the Scripture and the ability to personalize the illustrated pages. I can see it being included in a Bible Study for beginners or an introduction to journaling. While it's most likely not something you would pick up for a 4 year old, an older child, teen, or adult who likes to add artistic touches will love it.

    MY REVIEW: I love this Bible. I reviewed a blue LeatherTouch that was soft and easy to handle. The print is comfortable to read, and I especially loved the special pages that shared more information about the intended audience for each book, added info on topics that are vital for basic knowledge, maps, etc.

    No one in my family is dyslexic, so I don't entirely understand the colored sheets included to make this Bible "Dyslexia-Friendly" but I have read the reviews from those who have remarked on the difference it makes. That encourages me to recommend it to others.

    The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a version that I like, and believe will be easier for kids to understand. Comprehension is vital in Bible study, so this is another point in this. I definitely recommend this Bible for elementary school aged children.
