God’s Wildest Wonderment of All ~ A giveaway!

It’s not too soon to think about Christmas presents — sorry, I realize it’s too soon, but — I think you will enjoy this book, and I have three of them to give away this week!

The author of the rhymes in God’s Wildest Wonderment of All is Paul Thigpen. He whimsically expresses the verse “I praise You, for I am wonderfully made” from Psalm 139:14 in his own poetry, written from a child’s point of view.

The illustrator is my son-in-law, John Folley, of Mr. Mehan’s Mildly Amusing Mythical Mammals fame. His illustrations, as usual, have a lot of detail; his animals especially have very expressive faces! but then so does the little boy!

John really captures the spirit of the verse — this struck me when I finally had a copy in my hands. I admit I wasn’t convinced by the title (which seemed like it was in danger of being sappy!) at first, but once I got it and read it, I was delighted.

To prove that I’m being objective, I will say that I wish the typography had been more carefully attended to, and maybe a future edition will correct it to be more in keeping with the quality of the text and pictures.

I do think that children will delight in being read this book over and over — and more importantly, adults will be happy to comply!

So leave a comment here to enter the giveaway! We will pick three winners next week — and after that, there will be a coupon code for you for all that holiday shopping!
