Reviews"Colorful, richly textured, and wildly creative, Picturing God is a delight. Ruth Goring's visual and literary exploration of the many names and metaphors for God will open readers' minds and hearts to that Word who is love. I love this book!" --Jennifer Grant, author of Maybe God Is Like That Too and Maybe I Can Love My Neighbor Too "We need more books that help children envision God in ways that go beyond an old white man with a beard. Picturing God provides beautifully illustrated and poetic images that are straight out of Scripture. I smiled along with every page." --Traci Smith, author of Faithful Families: Creating Sacred Moments at Home and Prayers for Faithful Families: Everyday Prayers for Everyday Life "A poetic, graceful dive into the many biblical metaphors for God." --Publishers Weekly "With poetic text and intriguing, handcrafted mixed-media collages and mosaics, this is a most inventive blend of images and words." --The Pioneer Press "'Picturing God' invites children and adults alike to revisit the beautiful imagery found in Scripture and provides an opportunity for children to develop their imagination about who God is." --Midwest Book Review
