Smack Dab in the Middle of God’s Love {Giveaway!}

Oct 25, 2011 | 6 comments

“This story begins smack-dab in the middle. Smack-dab. Isn’t that a great word? Say it a couple of times. It means “precisely in the center.” -like your nose is mack-dab on your face. Well, that’s where this story begins… smack-dab in the middle.”

First, I just need to tell you how much I love that phrase.

“Smack dab in the middle of God’s love.”

My heart just fills with joy as I read and say that. And is the exact thing I want my children to remember at all times.

I was so thrilled to see this new book written by Brennan Manning and published by Tommy Nelson…

 We all need more reminders of just how much God loves us and sharing these with our children is even more important! This beautifully illustrated book does just that!

This book travels to a Mexican village called Hopi where a childless couple shares the love of God while answering a little boy’s questions. They discover God’s love everywhere – and that they are smack-dab in the middle of it!

What a wonderful way to share the love of God with the children in your life, especially if they love colorful storybooks like our boys! Manning’s book is intended for children ages 4-8, but our three-year-old loved it as well.

This hardcover book is available for less than $11 on Amazon – what a great gift idea!

    I find myself there daily, every time I look at my hubby or our little girl. He is faithful!

    I always find it in the silence. When I just take that moment to turn all of the worldly noise out and listen to God and His creation.

    Usually when serving… when no focus is on me and I’m totally focused on the very least of these. God is so good!
