One of the greatest gifts parents can give their children is the assurance that mom and dad love them just as they are, apart from anything that they do. But telling them once won't make it sink in.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
From my childhood, this book has been a favorite. It is a very well written parable with deep meaning. For God wants to adopt us all into His family... will we take time for Him?
This is one you want on your bookshelf

This parable is very interesting to my 6 year old daughter, and it spoke to me as well. The end of the story made my daughter ask questions that enabled us to discuss the deeper meaning behind the parable. The "moral" of the story is a very important and valuable lesson for all!
I have huge children's book collection .. I like this.

I have huge children's book collection. I like to purchase books for birthday or baby shower gifts - this is one of the 4 I recommend. A great message about what's really important in life.
My Favourite Book of 1999 and I'm an adult

Someone sent this book to my children when I was studying Chinese in China and feeling like I was a nobody. I am not an emotional person, but I was weeping by the end. This sweet book really made a difference in the way I thought about what's important (not what you do, but who you are). I used this book in 2003 teaching drama to orphans in Cambodia with great success, so it is a transcultural allegory too!
One of my favorites !

Pastor Lucado's books have a growing space on my bookshelf. A great story about taking time out for what is really important...God's Love.
