Called "the best preacher in the family" by her late father, Billy
Graham, Anne Graham Lotz speaks around the globe with the wisdom
and authority of years spent studying God's Word.
The New York Times named Anne one of the five most influential
evangelists of her generation. Her Just Give Me Jesus revivals have
been held in more than thirty cities in twelve different countries,
to hundreds of thousands of attendees.
Anne is a bestselling and award-winning author of twenty-one books.
She is the President of AnGeL Ministries in Raleigh, North
Carolina, and previously served as Chairman of the National Day of
Prayer Task Force.
Whether contributing opinion pieces to a national newspaper or a
groundbreaking speaker on platforms throughout the world, Anne’s
aim is clear – to bring revival to the hearts of God’s
people. And her message is consistent – calling people into a
personal relationship with God through His Word.
'Bryant's cheerful watercolor illustrations imagine Heaven as a
sort of pleasant amusement park with Jesus as the headmaster and
where children ride on the backs of flying sheep and climb trees
with pigs and frogs. The final pages present a conservative
Christian philosophy of confession and acceptance of Jesus as one's
personal savior, with the concluding pages offering a prayer for
children and the relevant verses from the Book of John. Additional
materials include an explanatory letter to parents and other
adults, questions for adults to use with children, Bible verse
references incorporated into the text and an 'RSVP to Jesus' for
use by the child reader. Though the text is on the saccharine side
and the heavenly interpretation is a bit far-fetched, this effort
does serve as an accessible introduction to difficult concepts.' -

'Bryant’s child-friendly watercolor artwork, with its sense of joy,
is the best part of the book. Lotz’ text is singsongy and does not
always scan well: “I have a little brother / he’s as cute as he can
be. We do everything together / and he always looks up to me.”
Still, parents looking for a Christian-centered book on heaven will
like the message, which the book notes “is not imagination or
fantasy. It is God’s promised word” (John 14:1–6 and Revelation
21–27 are cited). Expect the book and author to be heavily promoted
to the target audience.' - Ilene Cooper, Booklist Review
