This wonderful book for children explains how God created
each of us with diversity in His family with many colors and differing gifts
and talents. In God’s colorful family, each individual has something to offer
and heaven itself will be filled with believers of all different colors and
nationalities.
The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a
different concept from Scripture such as creation, the fall, the rescuer found
in Jesus Christ, and the principles involved in living in unity in God’s
family. At the end of each chapter there are questions for the child to answer to
reinforce the material presented in the chapter. There is also an activity for
the child and adult to do together.
At the end of the book there is a section for the adults
emphasizing the need to be “colorsmart” instead of using the word “colorblind.” Being colorblind is not realistic and misses the
opportunity to celebrate God’s good design. After all, the gospel is for all
nations and we will rejoice in color forever.
This is must reading for all families in explaining the
beauty of diversity. Children from elementary school through middle school
would benefit from this book.
I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for
this honest review.
