Faith is a sweet book with beautiful illustrations. The author explains how Faith effects and impacts our world.. The illustrations accent the message of the book beautifully. This book would be a nice book for families to read together, especially during the holiday season. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book! (This review is also on GoodReads.)

Faith by Lara Glenn Blanchette provides easy to understand analogies to introduce concepts regarding the love of God. Her faith is shared in simple examples. The short text of each page makes this appropriate for even young readers with short attention spans, All will love the detailed illustrations that are beautiful in their understated elegance. The imagery of light is prevalent throughout the sweet story alluding directly to the light of God. This book is an essential part of a library for a young child learning more about their own faith. The images and inspiration will bless their lives and reminders are found throughout the book about how children are loved deeply.

I was provided a free advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review from Net Galley. The opinions shared in this review are my own.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Faith is a beautifully illustrated picture book for children to explain the meaning of faith especially during the festive season.
The author did a beautiful job of explaining to children about what faith is and means, especially with it being such a hard topic for children to understand completely.
The illustrations are so beautiful and this book would be a fantastic book for families to share together and discuss at Christmas time.

This is a story of a mother talking to her children about her faith and God's presence using examples from what they observe on their evening walk during the festive period . This was such a heart-warming read and written so delicately. The use of pictures and rhyme make it very accessible to children. The content makes for good discussion where children (adults even) can also get into the habit of thinking about the ways they can see and acknowledge God's presence in their everyday lives.

I am reviewing a copy of Faith: Embracing God’s Presence through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:



As a Mother and her two children walk in the snow they encounter puppies and Ice Skaters while walking in the snow, in which the Mother reminds her children that even they speak of God’s love.



When they stop at a local bakery, an adventure of discovery is found, where the Mother helps her young children recognize God’s presence in acts of kindness, great and small, in the beautiful sights and sounds of nature and the people around them.



This would be the perfect book to read to young children and those young at heart who want to know more about God’s love. Faith is a beautifully written and illustrated book. One that I am happy to recommend!


I give Faith five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

Wow! This book is absolutely beautiful. The illustrations are magnificent, and the writing is splendid, reminding the reader of God's love and the importance of faith in our everyday lives. A must-have for every family raising children in a Christian home or wanting to introduce a child to the joy of a life lived with hope, joy and faith.
