Description
When the Son of God came down from heaven to become a man like us, He made it possible for us to see Him, touch Him, and make pictures of Him--pictures which we call icons. This little book brings God and His saints vividly into children's lives through icons, explaining in the simplest terms what each icon means and what the role of these holy pictures--and the holy stories and people they depict--can be in our lives. The colorful pages of Pictures of God are perfect for occupying little hands in church, for explaining the world of icons in the first years of Sunday school, and for read-aloud time with little ones at home. A picture book for preschool age and up. (The book is designed so that, depending on the age of your children, you can read the introduction to each icon, or just the "Notice This" sections and the names of the icons.)
