Before a father leaves for his longest business trip yet, he encourages his son and daughter to remember, "Even when I'm not here, God is always with you." After he leaves, the boy and his little sister spend a fun-filled day and star-filled night remembering everything their father told them about their heavenly Father. He is powerful, loving, everywhere, all-knowing, perfect, merciful, unchanging, creator, and a Father who wants to be known, talked to, obeyed and worshiped. With imaginative text, Bible verses and inspiring full-color illustrations, Beverly Lewis and Pam Querin take difficult concepts and bring them to life in the minds of children--and parents too. Recommended for ages 4 to 8.

    Tell us a little about yourself.  I happen to love children's books--family books. What Is God Like? is just that...and a companion book to What Is Heaven Like?, as well. Curling up by the fire with our three granddaughters and reading about our great and wonderful heavenly Father brings me great joy.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  One of our granddaughters, who was just 7 at the time, began asking many questions about God. What Is God Like? fit another niche, as well--in the hearts of many other families who are writing to share the joy of this new book. The illustrations alone are worth the price of this very special book. We're giving many as Christmas gifts this year.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  Discovering the many attributes of God, our Father, and in a kid-friendly way is my goal for this new book. Already, many are telling me how the story has led to some rousing discussions among their children and grandchildren alike.

    How were you personally impacted by working on this project?  Oh, the tears on many different occasions! What Is God Like? has touched me deeply, as well as given me terrific opportunities to connect with our own young grandchildren. The book is dedicated to Leandra, our oldest granddaughter...sweet child of God.

    Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists?  There are so many wonderful people who speak truth into my life. I am just so grateful each one, starting with my godly parents who encouraged me as a little girl to use my gifts for His honor and glory all the days of my life. I enjoy many children's authors, as well. Too many to list here. The great children's classics rank high, of course.

    Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know:  Pam Querin, the illustrator, has brought my story to life through her amazing gift of art. I am so blessed to have Pam on board for yet another "family book," and hope we have many more projects together!
