In 1999, the Lord inspired me at a church choir event. As I sat in
the back pew, listening to the awesome Christian music, an incredible
urge to draw came over me. Being an art teacher, I had experienced this
feeling, but never with such intensity. I had a pen in my pocket, but
the only paper available was the program I received at the door. In the
empty space of that program, I sketched like crazy. I felt as though I
would pop if I didn’t get the ideas out of my brain immediately.
I will never forget that experience. I felt peaceful yet energized.
God was just getting started with me. Over the next nine months, God and
I created this alphabet.
The concept and message of the book is wonderful. Getting your kids to learn the Christian ABC and what they stand for; however, I thought the images and symbols leaned toward Catholic faith. The book is more of a teaching a lesson book than recreational story book to set down and leisurely read me a story. Each letter has a Christian word, symbol, and Bible verse associated with it. You'll find lesson tips and activities to go along with and a closing prayer. Each letter covers two pages. There are pages in the back that explain the different symbols and their meaning. I really love the song (listen
here and get the lyrics) A very effective way for teaching children. A fun teaching resource.
