Book Nook: Good Good Father

Chris Tomlin recently wrote the song "Good Good Father" about the ways that God is a loving Father for us. He's also written a book with the same title, along with Pat Barrett. I had a chance to review the book Good Good Father, and my daughters and I really liked it.

This was a great book for a bedtime devotion. It was an easy way to show the girls that although God appreciates all of things we could give Him, and He does many things for us, what he appreciates most is the gift of ourselves. It is lovingly written and adorably illustrated, and it's appropriate for all young kids and even older kids who need a reminder of the relationship we have with our Father God.
