"For Such a Time as This" is a children's books designed to serve as an everyday companion without sacrificing its keepsake qualities.I think it will earn worn pages and a cracked spine- it certainly would have in my house!First, I want to talk about the way Angie Smith writes. It's beautiful, almost like a really good women's devotional, without ever being above a girl's understanding.She brings each account around to the way God's heart was displayed , and she shows the character's responses to him. We his grace and mercy and patience and hope- she points out his hand in each woman's life.And she uses words well. She reframes what the Scriptures tell us in a way that expands our imagination.These aren't narrow, flat, factual retellings. They're positive, imaginative renderings of God's revelation.Christmas is "One night where the ordinary kissed the sacred, never to be the same again."In Eden, "Life together was barefoot and perfect, every moment a gift from the Giver."Children will get these images.They'll get the idea that creation and life and goodness are tangled up, and they'll look for holiness in the middle of it all.And now, take a look at Breezy Brookshire's illustrations. The colors, the lines, the movement!(The details... notice the koala bear she tucked into Shem's arms as they board the ark?)As kids, my sister and I wore out Kenneth N. Taylor's Bible story book. We loved his artwork, yet he focused mostly on the masculine figures. This book features the feminine faces.We see lovely Rebekah, with her pure heart shining out of her eyes.We see the aged Anna, waiting for the Promised One.
