Book Description

Encourage your children’s sense of wonder and faith with I Can Only Imagine, inspired by the hit song by MercyMe. This beautiful picture book will capture your family’s childlike faith and imagination.
I Can Only Imagine asks questions a child might ask and invites families to wonder together: What is heaven like? What does God do? What would it be like to spend a day with Jesus? Children will see that although experiencing the glory of heaven may be far off, we can enjoy a friendship with Jesus every day - right here on earth. Whimsical, playful illustrations and thought-provoking questions make this a book that families will cherish.
Fun and vibrant illustrations offer a vivid visual and will help your children see that God can be found everywhere, every day.
I think about heaven as I look up at the sky
And watch the fluffy clouds roll by.
The more I imagine, the more I wish I knew.
I wonder, would God like pancakes with extra syrup too?
And if God and I spent the day together, what exactly would we do?
The Christian worship song “I Can Only Imagine” touched countless lives with its glorious representation of being in the presence of God, and this beautifully illustrated picture book invites you and your children to imagine those same wonders. Share the joy of a personal relationship with the Lord with your family today through the creative, faith-filled book I Can Only Imagine.

My thoughts:  I CAN ONLY IMAGINE is a picture book for children based on the popular song by that name.  It is well-written, beautifully illustrated book about a boy who wonders what'd it'd be like to spend a day with Jesus doing the things that the boy wanted to do, like eating pancakes, jumping on clouds like trampolines, and other fun stuff that would appeal to children of all ages. 

This would be a fun book for a church children's library, nurseries, preschools, and home libraries. Children will enjoy having it read to them and looking at the pictures.  

I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
