In this spiritually comforting book, Greg Olsen's luminous paintings are combined with inspirational text to remind us of the love our Savior has for each of us, how He shows it in our lives and the world around us, and how we can follow His example by sharing that love with others.
Greg Olsen was raised in a farming community in rural Idaho. His paintings are deeply influenced by his life experiences and spiritual journeys and strive to convey stories that speak to the soul.
Olsen’s art has found a place in notable institutions, including the Pentagon, the NCAA Hall of Fame, the US Forest service, and numerous religious and educational settings.
In 1988, a transformative visit to Jerusalem deeply enriched his spiritual and artistic perspectives. This journey would lay the groundwork for his future works, especially in the realm of Christian art. In 1993, he signed a deal with Mill Pond Press, propelling his Christian-themed works into the national spotlight.
The art work in the is book is beautiful. It's a fun book to read to your children to remind them how much Jesus love us and how we can share that love with others.
Talking points: Who loves you? Does Jesus love you? How do you know? When do you most feel his love for you? How do you show your love for him?
The artwork is beautiful. Although it's a board book, which makes its intended audience very young, I think the artwork would be more appealing to slightly older children. Abi and Lili at age one aren't incredibly fascinated with it yet.
