A Seed Is a Promise

By Beverley Rayner

In the
everyday details of life, God is present. When we slow down and enjoy nature's
simplest pleasures, they call to us, and we find ourselves in wonder at their
design and unique purpose. Every single bud and singing bird reminds us that
God is at work and cares about the smallest details of life. Most of all, each
person is unique and special, made in the image of God.

Children
especially need this timeless reminder. This picture book, written for children
ages 5-9, will also appeal to adults as a unique gift. Readers will delight in
turning each new page and will want to re-read the truths of prose woven with
stunning imagery. A Seed is a Promise is illustrated by
seventeen artists from many countries and will appeal to believers in God from
all walks of life.
