No matter what anyone says to you, remember that God’s love for you is never-changing, never-failing, and never-ending.” I jumped at the opportunity to review Guess How Much God Loves You by Karen Ferguson. I believe children find it easier to believe in God than adults do, so we want to start training children when they are still young. This book helps us do that. In my personal experience, reading the book to a four-year-old, questions about God came forth as we read. Exactly the opening of discussions we are looking for! The message that Karen Ferguson desires to help parents, grandparents, and any adult in a healthy relationship with a child, is that they are totally, unconditionally loved. Also, we want our children to have a sense of belonging, love, and significance. When a child can begin to understand how much God loves them, it provides unshakable security for life. Ferguson uses some imagination to allow Lucy to enter into the creation scenes as Papa Joe describes them from the Bible. The pictures are full-page, sometimes double-page with writing that is readable overlaying the picture. The bit of imagination Ferguson uses (i.e., Lucy flying on Grandpa’s scooter over the ocean, or Lucy riding an elephant during the sixth day of creation) makes for exciting “you-are-there” experiences. There are discussion questions at the end that help the listener check comprehension. Ferguson includes some important one-line facts with Bible verse support in a version a child can understand. Perhaps my one regret has nothing to do with the story, but the illustration, and there’s no fault there, either. I was very pleased Grandpa Joe was confined to a scooter, as my grandson’s own great-grandfather was. Unfortunately, my father passed away just months before we got a chance to read the book together. I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author through Celebrate Lit. No positive review was required, and all opinions are my own. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Guess How Much God Loves You is the story of seven-year-old Lucy Lu, a colorful, creatively curious first-grader, who is starting to have serious questions about God. How old is He? Does He sleep? What does He do all day? And the biggest one of all-does God love me? After one particularly hard day of being bullied by her classmates at school, Lucy feels like she doesn't matter. She sits with Papa Joe, who has promised to answer her questions about God, launching them onto a journey to discover God's never-changing, never-failing, never-ending love. What follows is a wild adventure through the Bible, where Lucy and her papa find themselves in the middle of each page of the exciting story of God's love and faithfulness for all people throughout all of history.

Lucy is struggling with self confidence as classmates start to make fun of her. I know how that feels all too well. It hurts and makes you feel unwanted. Lucy begins to question if God loves her. I like that she is taking interest in knowing God and discovering just how much He loves each of us. As her grandpa begins to share from the Bible, Lucy sees that God made everything because He loves us. The trees, the beautiful birds and even the breathtaking flowers are gifts from Him.
The author takes us on a journey in the Bible when God created all these things that we get to enjoy. I love that the author illustrated grandpa reading from the Bible. This will encourage children to want to have their own so they can learn more about God.
What a great story to show children that they are loved and special. Lucy is now excited to read more from the Bible and begin her relationship with God.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )
