Book Reviews of God Gave Us You
Book Review: Children Are Gifts From God
Summary: 5 Stars
God Gave Us You by Lisa T. Bergren is a wonderful children's book with a sweet, yet powerful message to our children. My husband and I have seven children, all beautiful blessings from God. As, I read this story to them I was reminded of my own pregnancies with them, and how when I held them in my arms for the first time, I felt just like this Mama Bear - full of joy knowing what a very special gift I was holding.
I loved how it portrayed her praying for her child during her pregnancy, and included the things daddies can do such as singing to and talking to baby in utero. This book will allow parents to share the love they have for their child and show them just how precious they are in the eyes of God, in a very special way.
In one small section, Mama Bear talked about they were "alone" and wanted a child. As I read it to our group of younger children, I changed that up slightly in my own words so that they all felt very special since none of them was a first child. Overall, I found God Gave Us You to be an excellent, uplifting book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has young children.
I received this book free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review in exchange for my honest opinion.
Book Review: Wonderful Story!
Summary: 5 Stars
God Gave Us You is a wonderful childrens book by Lisa Tawn Bergren that has great whimsical illustrations by Laura J. Bryant. The book tells the story of Little Cub and his question about where he came from one night before bedtime. Mama Cub explains to him that he was a gift from God and that she and his father were very excited to learn that he was growing inside her.
This is a great book that my son really enjoyed. It explains to children how they are special gifts from God and reassures them of just how unique and special they are.
I would highly recommend this book for any expecting parents and for parents of those up to age five. An awesome book for your children!

Book Review: Wonderful Children's Inspirational Literature!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lisa Tawn Bergren's picture book God Gave Us You is a sweet story that helps children understand that they're a blessing, a gift from God to their parents. It helps explain in the most childlike way where babies come from.
This book is very well written and reading it to your child/ren will be sure to bond you even closer together. The illustrations are beautiful. The story itself is something special along the lines of Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny (which is a classic in children's literature you should definitely read if you haven't already!) I have to admit, I like this story even better than the famous Miss Brown's because of the inspirational message within its pages.
I highly recommend this book and am so glad I had the opportunity to review it! I also recommend the sequel to God Gave Us You--God Gave Us Two. I'm sure you can imagine what that one's about!
The wonderful people at Waterbrook Multnomah provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for the purposes of this review. All views presented are my own.
Book Review: A beautiful answer; God Gave Us you!
Summary: 5 Stars
God Gave Us You is a beautiful moving story. The best children's book I have come across.
It begins with one simple question from a little cub "Mama, where did I come from?"
Mama Bear then begins to explain in a gentle loving way her progression of pregnancy up until the moment little bear was placed in her arms; each page ending with the beautiful answer of "God Gave Us You".
The use of the phrases such as "my special child", "even the angels celebrated for us", "we wouldn't trade you for the world", all reassure the child of how much she is truly loved.
My daughter is 3 years old and knows the words by heart, as do I. I could read it with my eyes closed, and often do.
I am so thankful to have found this book; a story both child AND parent will truly enjoy.
I HIGHLY recommend this book and the spin-offs. We also enjoy "God Gave Us Two", and "God Gave Us Christmas". LOVE!
Book Review: Love it love it love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I can not explain the excitement in my heart when I saw that there were two more books in the God gave us....series listed for review!!! I LOVE these books!!!
In God Gave us You, mama bear explains to little bear how God gave her to them. It is a wonderful way to explain to your child how they came into the world at an age appropriate level. It is perfect for snugging with your little one and showing them how much they are loved!
I hope that you have purchased the other books in this series and will go out and purchase this one too!! You will not regret it. The illustrations are very well done and the story is clear and age appropriate and beautifully written.
I received a free copy of this book for review purposes from Waters Brook Press through their Blogging for Books program. Thanks!
