When I'm With Jesus: For any Child with a Loved One in Heaven

Tangible comfort for children who are grieving - NEW Edition!
Children wonder about Heaven, especially when someone they love goes there. They have questions they are often afraid to ask to the adults in their world, and need reassurance that their feelings are normal. When I'm With Jesus is created to minister to young children and older children, with large text for young readers or as a read-to book, and smaller text for older readers.

Beautifully illustrated, When I'm With Jesus is a book that helps children see a loved one's transition to Heaven as a joyful thing. It comforts children with a reminder - one they can hold in their hands and revisit anytime - that they have not been forgotten and are still loved.

Everything Kimberly Rae writes in this book are things I would want my children to know. She writes from the perspective of the deceased loved one and answers many of the questions that children ask when a close loved one dies. She communicates the continued love of the deceased but also of God, and creates a book that a child can come back to over and over to be reminded of that love. She presents a biblical view of what Heaven is like, without adding to it for the sake of comfort and what isn't in Scripture. I especially appreciate she gives such a high view of God, despite what humanly is difficult to understand. She communicates in death, what I try to teach my kids about God in LIFE! I was thrilled when I got to the end of the book and she presented the Gospel in a very understandable way! What a treasure to have a book that provides what any child dealing with loss will need- reminders of love, comfort, what Scriptures saw and the Gospel!

I read this book and by the end of it, I had tears in my eyes! How wonderful for the author to not only think of her children and how they may feel should she leave for Heaven, but to know that other children out there will have questions, hurt and angry feelings, and total confusion concerning the death of a loved one! This is a must for any child that experiences the loss of a parent/grandparent/sibling. Love it!

This book is beautifully written and illustrated and would be a lifeline to a child struggling through the loss of a parent. All the questions they would want to ask but may be afraid to are addressed in this book. Yes, your loved one wanted to be with you, yes, they still love you very much, etc. I recommend this book with all of my heart to anyone dealing with a child who has experienced the loss of a parent, whether recent or in the past.

About the Illustrator:
Phyllis Keels was excited about creating watercolor paintings for When I'm With Jesus. Since her daughter had already gone to Heaven, Phyllis enjoyed imagining what Heaven would be like, and she was happy her work would help children who were grieving.
In 2017, Phyllis herself went to Heaven, so she is living what she could only imagine before.
