A delightful reminder of the constant presence and protecting grace of God, Beyond Yet Still With You will be a blessing for anyone who has ever felt distant from God. Whether you are shopping for a gift for a child or a book to bring comfort to someone who is hurting, "Beyond" can bring a word of peace and joy to readers and listeners. Sometimes we need to hear a calm voice. Nighttime noises and daytime surprises can cause anytime tears and fears. We need a word of comfort.This book is ideal in those moments. Perfect for bedtime reading, gifting to a hurting friend, helping with counselling or just reading for pleasure, "Beyond Yet Still With You" brings the reader words and pictures of joy, peace and comfort. Handling difficult concepts (like figuring out where God is, or wondering if God cares when I am hurt) is challenging. "Beyond" breaks it down into simple terms: God is Beyond, but He is still with us. He is beneath, over, through, in, and above us. We are under His care. Because He is everywhere, He is here and we can have peace. "Beyond Yet Still With You" teaches us that God does sometimes seem distant from us. He is so far from us, so "beyond," as to seem inaccessible. God transcends creation. He is Lord of Heaven. But He is also Lord of the earth. Though He is distant, at the same time He is close at hand. He is a nearby powerful friend, an ever-present help in times of trouble. He isimmanent. This book by father/daughter team Steve Jameson, the author, and Erin Brown, the artist, combines peaceful poetry, original Scripture translations and vibrant illustrations into a single work that explores this "near but far paradox" of God's character. Readers and listeners old and young will be reminded that God delights in His people. He protects us with His power. He comforts us with His presence. He watches out for us when we are out on a limb, walking through puddles and going to bed. We can be encouraged by the teachings of this book to understand we are safe because God is transcendent yet involved, distant yet immanent. He is over all, yet He is personally involved. He is "Beyond, Yet Still With You." The book is available in several languages (English, Haitian Creole and Japanese, with versions in French, Spanish, and other languages in the works) and multiple formats (illustrated poem book, coloring book, 13-lesson extended version "Teacher's Kit," and student handouts). The project also includes audio CD and a video DVD as well as a "coloring book" app for your mobile device. It is perfect for counseling settings, VBS, Home School and Sunday School. Gift yourself, your child or a friend with this gift bringing personal peace."
