This Special Blessing for You - This Book is a Blessing for the Children You Love!

Friday I received a package from Zonderkidz - yesterday I let you know about a wonderful new book from Sally Lloyd-Jones (you will find my review of Strong: Psalm 1 at this link.) Today I am happy to let you know about a lovely book written by Eric & Meredith Schrotenboer and illustrated by Denise Hughes - you will want this book to share with the children you love!

This Special Blessing

Authors - Eric & Meredith Schrotenboer

Illustrator - Denise Hughes

Ages - 4-8

Publisher - Zonderkidz

Zonderkidz says; "God is full of love for your children, and This Special Blessing for You empowers them to live out who God wants them to be in the world. Encourage the kids in your life to spread love and kindness with this engaging rhyming picture book.

Today is the day the world gets to see,

the beautiful person God made you to be.

Wherever you go, it’s God’s love you’re expressing,

so God sends you out with this special blessing.

This Special Blessing for You uses words and phrases that help children better understand what God wants to communicate to them. Each promise and declaration is based on the Aaronic Blessing found in Numbers 6:23–27: “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

Children ages 4–8 will delight in these spiritual takeaways:

• God loves you so much and delights in your presence
• Every child is God’s beautiful creation.
• God fills you with power and strength to be who God calls you to be.
• You carry God’s name wherever you go.
• You show the world what God is like by how you love and serve one another.

This Special Blessing for You is for:

• Reading first thing in the morning during family breakfast, or at the end of the day during nightly bedtime routines
• Sunday school and Christian school classes, to prepare children for who God is calling them to be and what God is calling them to do each day as they go out into the world.
• Parents and grandparents who want to share God’s blessing with the children in their lives.
• Baptism, Easter, birthday, and any other gift-giving events"

Once again, I completely agree. This Special Blessing for You is clearly a book which equips you to give a blessing to the children you love just by reading it to them! It would make a fantastic book to read just before the children you love go to bed, and to read again before they begin their day. I really love This Special Blessing for You, and highly recommend getting it for the children you love - it would make a wonderful gift for Easter!
