A long time ago a wise man named Shaddai built a wonderful village for the children to live in. He talked to them and sang for them, and even told them stories. Shaddai gave them everything they needed. And with his own hands, rock by rock, he built a protective wall around the village.
One day Paladin, the most curious child in the village, discovers something troubling about the wall. Something that made him doubt about Shaddai's love. Could there be a mistake? Would Paladin be able to discover the answer and understand how deeply he is loved? Recommended for ages 4 and up.

This is my favorite children's book. I've given away over 30 copies of this book to kids ranging from the age of 2 to 13 reading it to each child before giving it to them. All have liked it and it definitely produces good discussions with the older kids. For the older kids, I tell them the following before I read them the book. 'For adults and older kids, the “Because I Love You” story is not only about how much God loves each of us, wants us to stay with Him of our own free will, forgives us when we don't stay with him, and always welcomes us back, but it is also about the fall from Grace of Mankind'

What a story! My two year old son loves this wonderful book. He was
able to understand more of who God is with the clear illustrations and
that famous Max Lucado storytelling. I can't wait to give it as a gift to others.
