That's Where God Is! is a hardback picture book meant
for children ages 4 to 8 years old.
It opens with a sketch of a little boy sitting on the arm of his
grandfather's chair asking him where God is. The little boy then
travels through his week looking for God. Sometimes after the boy
describes how he saw God, there is a Bible verse written on the
page. When he visits his grandfather again, the grandfather explains
how God can also live in a person's heart. Grandpa suggests a prayer
that the little boy can pray to ask Jesus into his heart. The last
page has an afterword from author Ali Morrow's dad, Lee Strobel.
This is a nice "extra" for Lee Strobel fans.
That's Where God Is! is a good book to use with primary
students to begin the dialogue about the presence of God. It doesn't
fit into any particular school subject except maybe Bible. My middle
school child found the story too simplistic. I used the afterword
by Mr. Strobel to talk to my daughter about the blessings of having
generations of Christians in a family. The book also allowed us
to talk about the relationship between a grandparent and a grandchild.
That's Where God Is! is a lovely picture book to explain
how a child enters the family of God.
