Throughout the Bible there are always people longing for a home， from Adam and Eve after they ate the fruit to the Israelites when they were taken away to Egypt and Babylon， to people today。 This book points to the home that Jesus is making for us， the one we’ve been longing for。This starts in the Garden of Eden and works its way through the Old Testament picking out a few moments when people were longing for home to Jesus’ arrival and his promise to provide a permanent home。 I like that there’s Throughout the Bible there are always people longing for a home， from Adam and Eve after they ate the fruit to the Israelites when they were taken away to Egypt and Babylon， to people today。 This book points to the home that Jesus is making for us， the one we’ve been longing for。This starts in the Garden of Eden and works its way through the Old Testament picking out a few moments when people were longing for home to Jesus’ arrival and his promise to provide a permanent home。 I like that there’s a discussion guide in the back of the book that goes deeper， because as I was reading I felt like there was good stuff there but that I could see it being hard for some to understand。 Some families or classes may want to read the discussion guide first。 This would be a good read for Easter as it does point to the ultimate purpose of Easter and Jesus’ resurrection。 It isn’t my favorite Easter picture book， but it is a good one， and I would recommend it to Christian families and schools。 I feel like the topic of home and longing for home is one especially relevant to my international school as so many of us aren’t sure where to call home。 This is a good reminder of what we’re really longing for。I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This is a beautifully illustrated picture book that easily displays the idea of home as a metaphor for explaining the truth of the Gospel that spans the entirety of Scripture。 *I read a digital ARC of this title from the publisher via NetGalley。

This beautiful book was loved by all of us。 I loved the illustrations and the way that the author connected the theme of home throughout the book to share the gospel。 My children were captivated and retold the story when it was over。 I was nearly in tears。 I love how the scriptures are shared throughout the book。 I also love how the author is sure to talk about sin。 Many childrens books about Jesus shy away from telling them about their sins。 This book created beautiful discussion about forgiven This beautiful book was loved by all of us。 I loved the illustrations and the way that the author connected the theme of home throughout the book to share the gospel。 My children were captivated and retold the story when it was over。 I was nearly in tears。 I love how the scriptures are shared throughout the book。 I also love how the author is sure to talk about sin。 Many childrens books about Jesus shy away from telling them about their sins。 This book created beautiful discussion about forgiveness and heaven and sins。 This is one we will be adding to our home library。 。。。more

A retelling of the story of scripture through the theme of Home in a cohesive and easily comprehensible way。 Saunders takes us from Genesis to Revelation to help us understand God's promise of an eternal home for Him and his people。 I appreciate that there are scripture references from all over the Bible subtly included on each page and I love that the last page shows us a diverse picture of God's people。I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 A retelling of the story of scripture through the theme of Home in a cohesive and easily comprehensible way。 Saunders takes us from Genesis to Revelation to help us understand God's promise of an eternal home for Him and his people。 I appreciate that there are scripture references from all over the Bible subtly included on each page and I love that the last page shows us a diverse picture of God's people。I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This is such a special book highlighting the theme of home in Scripture。 It starts with Eden， the perfect home created by God， and ends with the home he’s preparing for us in the new creation。 In the middle we are shown how sin taints the home we find ourselves in now， but also how the Bible gives us hints of our true home to come。 Filled with lovely illustrations and Scripture references throughout， this book would make a great addition to your picture book library。 Thank you to Netgalley and B This is such a special book highlighting the theme of home in Scripture。 It starts with Eden， the perfect home created by God， and ends with the home he’s preparing for us in the new creation。 In the middle we are shown how sin taints the home we find ourselves in now， but also how the Bible gives us hints of our true home to come。 Filled with lovely illustrations and Scripture references throughout， this book would make a great addition to your picture book library。 Thank you to Netgalley and B&H for the advanced review copy。 。。。more

5 Stars ✨ “The home I’m building is for you” The Story of Home by Caroline Saunders was a delightful read。 My daughter and I read this together and she really enjoyed it。 The illustrations were great and we loved the emphasis it put on family and home。 I asked her opinion of the book and the rating is based on her enjoyment。 There were questions at the end of the book that really opened up a chance for deeper conversations and a chance to really reflect on the story。 The main point of the story 5 Stars ✨ “The home I’m building is for you” The Story of Home by Caroline Saunders was a delightful read。 My daughter and I read this together and she really enjoyed it。 The illustrations were great and we loved the emphasis it put on family and home。 I asked her opinion of the book and the rating is based on her enjoyment。 There were questions at the end of the book that really opened up a chance for deeper conversations and a chance to really reflect on the story。 The main point of the story was there is no one who makes a home like God。 Would recommend for story/Bible time with children。 Thank you NetGalley and （publisher） for sending this book in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
