"Close As A Breath" is an absorb book written by Callie Grant that encapsulates a fabulous autumn day shared between a daughter and a dad. As she asks her father numerous questions triggered by the things she can see, smell, and feel, he responds with answers that explain that through the unseen and the seen, she can know that God is also surrounding her.
This warmly inviting book, illustrated by Sarah Ackerley, will retain a child's interest and will likely trigger a few more questions being asked. The simple answers the father gives his daughter are age appropriate (the book was written for children up to 6 years old). They also open the opportunity for a parent to discuss God and faith with his child on a very elementary level that helps to build faith.

"Declare His glory...His wonders among all peoples." - Psalm 96:3
This film explores a variety of topics from the expanse of the universe, the tiny hummingbirds, thunderstorms to the intricacies of dna. Interspersed with Scripture and explanations of scientists about the obvious design behind these marvels of the universe, this is an excellent resource for those wanting to learn more about God's design. The scientists kept my attention, but it was the awesome photography that kept me entranced. Of course, I also loved the Scripture used throughout the film. The narration was a tiny bit dry, but not enough to be distracting. I will watch this more than once...especially the stars and the thunderstorms. :) I do recommend this film, especially for homeschoolers.
