The Everywhere God

This is a last minute Christmas treasure. If you are looking for a special book for a child this would be perfect. I love the drawings and the rhymes that are catchy and easy to remember.

For example:

“When you find yourself got, in a difficult spot,
At that very minute, God’s loving you in it.”

Who doesn’t need to know that at times – actually all of the time.

My favorite page is this:

“When you’re caught in a pickle and don’t have a nickel,
got caught in a tree with a very mad bee,
stuck tight in some hole with an unwelcome mole,
or lost in a liar of a big hungry bear,
God won’t let you down, He’s always around.”

The Everywhere God is a book about hope for children of all ages. Written for his young granddaughter during a particularly difficult time, the late Pastor Bob Nelson wanted to be sure she knew God was with her no matter what else was happening. Despite people and circumstances, his message is clear, God never leaves or forgets about us and His love never ends. Upon it’s completion, he knew it was something special and wanted to make it a children’s book. Unfortunately, time passed and things never fell into place for his vision to come to life. He passed away in 2008 before he could see it happen.

More than 20 years after it’s original writing, Bob Nelson’s daughter remembered this treasured poem and like her father, felt it needed to be shared with the world. For many years she kept this special story in the back of her heart and always dreamed of making his vision for a children’s book a reality.
