About this title

From the Publisher:

A visual interpretation of one of today's most popular hymns, exploring how we relate and respond to God.

Review:

"God of the Sparrow," shows us the world around us and ponders how humans are to respond to the Creator. It's charming, lovely, reverential, and joyful. Any work that exposes more people to Vadja's hymns is a delight! -- WTBF

... richly illustrated... beautifully illustrated... will make an excellent Christmas present for your toddler or a grandchild. -- Lincoln Kids

... unpretentious and deceptively simple... Colorful and dramatic illustrations provide children with a visual interpretation of the deep truths... -- Catholic Parent

Charmingly illustrated... have no choice but to respond to the Creator of it all... this child of God was intrigued. -- Episcopal Life

Good children's books are hard to find. And if you really want a volume that's appropriate for a wide age range, theologically uplifting and delightfully illustrated, well - those are as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth!

There is, however, hope. Morehouse Publishing has just released an illustrated version of the hymn, "God of the Sparrow." L. Preston McDaniel's artwork creates a context in which children and adults alike can contemplate the complex God portrayed in the beautiful lyrics by pastor Jarolslav J. Vajda. The illustrations span a variety of seasons and situations. This volume is the first in a series of hymns that will be illustrated by McDaniel. "All Things Bright and Beautiful" will be available in the spring of 2000. A treasure. . . enjoy! -- Monday Morning, The Magazine for Presbyterian Leaders, 12/6/99

It's charming, lovely, reverential, joyful. And any work that exposes more people to Vadja's hymns is a delight! -- Dave Kirby, PD and reviewer for Book Bit, WTBF AM/FM
