REVIEW: YOU ARE: Speaking God’s Word Over Your Children by Emily Assell
This book is a great example of what parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, pastors, in fact—anyone who knows a child,should be speaking into the lives of children.
At the beginning, the book contains a brief “letter to the parents” referencing Scripture in order to remind them that words are powerful and that as adults we have the ability to speak life into our children.
While it is a short board book, it is filled with delightful images of animals drawn by Lauren Copple and on each page it simply says: YOU ARE…. (and then gives a word like CHOSEN, GIFTED, LOVED, etc.), and it also has a corresponding Scripture on the page.
The book would make a sweet gift, and it is a good reminder to anyone who knows a child that as adults we need to continue to speak life and love into their lives so that we can claim this generation and future generations for the Kingdom of God.
*Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.
