When God Made You was written by Matthew Paul Turner and illustrated by David Catrow. This is a children’s book revealing that you are uniquely made by God and you have a special contribution that you can make in the world. Here is an example of the content,

An exclusive design, one God refined,
you’re a perfectly crafted one of a kind.
‘Cause when God made you,
somehow God knew
that the world needed someone
exactly like you.

The story portrays a young girl who uses her creative abilities to bring joy into the world. God’s sovereignty is portrayed as He knows all about you and that He created you the way you are – you were made on purpose, with a purpose, for a purpose. Children will enjoy the appealing rhymes and the colorful illustrations. My grandchildren were fascinated by the story and the fanciful pictures.

This story presents the truth of God’s plan for our lives in a winsome story for young children,

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)

If you have young children you will find this an encouraging and uplifting book as they learn their unique place in the world. (I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review).
