Vibrant illustrations complement the book's lyrical style to engage a child's imagination and display God's cultivating work in creation and in the hearts of his people。

The Christian band Wolves at the Gate has a lyric that is a weighty theological reality and prompts much thought:A bloody tree and empty tomb sends root below for life to bloom。 These words immediately came to mind when I read Stott James new children book， The Sower。 This short book uses creative narrative to draw in young readers， making them aware of God’s redemptive purposes。 The book begins in eternity past:Once there was a Voice in the darkness， full of life and life， it was the Voice of th The Christian band Wolves at the Gate has a lyric that is a weighty theological reality and prompts much thought:A bloody tree and empty tomb sends root below for life to bloom。 These words immediately came to mind when I read Stott James new children book， The Sower。 This short book uses creative narrative to draw in young readers， making them aware of God’s redemptive purposes。 The book begins in eternity past:Once there was a Voice in the darkness， full of life and life， it was the Voice of the Sower。 With a word he sowed seeds， and a garden grew。 The author reveals the creating and sustaining power of the Sower and shows how sin separated the first parents and all of humanity from him。 People stopped listening to the Sower and their hearts turned away from him。Young readers will discover how the Sower pursued his sinful creatures and how he revealed himself in God’s Word and also in human flesh:To mend broken people， to make them whole again， he took their brokenness and made it his own。 He laid himself down， buried like a seed in the ground。In the end， The Sower paints a beautiful picture about how the Lord Jesus redeems a people for his own possession。 The Sower is a tool that parents can use to introduce the Christian worldview to children。 But more important， he rivets their attention on Jesus - the Sower， the One who came to set his people free。Scott James teams up with Stephen Crotts who provides incredible art to accompany this powerful little book。I received this book free from the publisher。 I was not required to write a positive review。 。。。more

This picture book combines lyrical text and unique， earthy illustrations to share the gospel story with children。 Unlike some books， which focus on simple language and concepts， The Sower takes a metaphorical approach， using imagery from Scripture to write about God as the sower and the gardener who creates and nourishes life， and who rescues his people even after they turn away from Him。 The book emphasizes God's love， Christ's sacrifice and resurrection， and the way that God tends to His peopl This picture book combines lyrical text and unique， earthy illustrations to share the gospel story with children。 Unlike some books， which focus on simple language and concepts， The Sower takes a metaphorical approach， using imagery from Scripture to write about God as the sower and the gardener who creates and nourishes life， and who rescues his people even after they turn away from Him。 The book emphasizes God's love， Christ's sacrifice and resurrection， and the way that God tends to His people and creates fruit in their lives。I enjoyed Scott James's eloquent writing and descriptive language， and the illustrations from Stephen Crotts are unique and detailed， with a natural color palette and distinct style。 This book is best for elementary-aged readers and older， due to the metaphorical language and sometimes abstract illustrations， but it could also be a great family read-aloud that includes younger children who will learn to understand it in time。 The book will also appeal to many adults who enjoy well-crafted picture books， regardless whether they have children。I would especially recommend The Sower to Christian children and adults who are so familiar with the gospel that they lose a sense of its wonder。 This book's unique approach to the redemptive story and vivid use of metaphors can help readers view the story through a different but deeply biblical lens， encouraging them to see God as a gardener and to connect with the nature metaphors used in Scripture。 This book is different from any other Christian picture book I have read， and I appreciate the author's and artist's creative approach。I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
