As Seen On
Rated 9.4 and over-all winner of Children’s Religious books for fall of 2022.
“Where this book really shines is in its message, especially for its very specific target audience. This was a book that was made for Sunday schools, youth groups, and Christian households. It accomplishes its task superbly.”

My 10 year old appreciated the thought of getting to do what he longs to do, in Heaven. This was a new thought for both him AND myself. I feel like the colors are warm and welcoming and the story itself does a good job welcoming Heaven as a place of “doing what we love”.

Ryan - Amazon Review
"What is Heaven Like?" is a wonderful story that sparks the imagination. The author brings a fresh perspective and sound bible knowledge together to create a compelling way to explain heaven to both children and adults! The illustrations are well done and engaging, and the writing is thoughtful and perfectly represents a conversation with a kid.

Kara - Amazon Review
This book does a great job of relating Heaven to things kids already have background knowledge of in a biblical way. As an educator, children’s ministry director, and parent, I personally like how the book answers questions but also opens up discussion between child and adult for more exploration. Would recommend for kids preschool-2nd grade!

Among the lessons I learned, three stuck out to me: First, theology matters. Second, discipleship is a process. And third, failure is inevitable apart from Jesus.
