Product Description

Synopsis

All of nature argues about the forms of God, so people are sent as a reminder of all that God is, although they do not seem to understand the message themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Illustrations, a Book to Read Over and Over..., 30 Oct 2000
This is a book worth having, if only for the stunning artwork by Illustrator Cheng-Khee Chee. But in addition to the artwork, the story is one that is ideal for young and old. The world is a beautiful place, filled with lucious trees and flowers and a wide variety of creatures. They all begin arguing over who God is. Before they come to blows, Old Turtle offers her wisdom and view of the future. There is peace again, until God adds people to the earthly creatures, and they (we) go through the same argument - whose definition of God is the accurate or better one. The people argue, hurt each other, wars break out (stop me if you've heard this one!). Old Turtle comes to the rescue again.

Diversity, God as in all of us - a wonderful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding spirtual and environmental book for children., 20 Jul 1999
By A Customer
How do you explain what God is to children? As a parent, how do you explain about the importance of caring for the environment and all living creatures? This book accomplishes these things and more. The flowing text and beautiful water-color drawings inspire an understanding of Spirit that children and adults alike can relate to. If you have children, please share this book with them, my daughters love it. If you don't have children, buy this book as a gift for yourself, and read it often, to reconnect with the Spirit that is all around us and in everyone of us. Many thanks to Douglas Wood and Cheng-Khee Chee for such a beautiful book, it has become a family favorite.
