About The Book

Learning how God sees us can help us change how we see ourselves.  

Instead of looking in the mirror and having the world’s often harmful and untrue words reflected back, we should see what God sees—a person who is loved and treasured. The short devotions paired with scripture provide children with positive affirmations and daily prayers. Readers of all ages will feel uplifted and encouraged as they discover the empowering messages on these life-changing pages.  

Day by day, children will begin to embrace themselves as they discover some of the amazing qualities found in each of God’s children. Effective summaries highlight the day’s theme and end each page on a powerful, upbeat note. The timeless reminders will engage all ages, as the short yet strong messages are just as beneficial to the adults reading them as they are to the children listening. 

Author's Note: God's Word is Truth. If children learn who they are in Christ at their young age, that revelation and understanding can define how they perceive and react to bullying - whether they are the child being bullied, or they themselves are the bully. In a world where identity confusion is prevalent, knowing who they are in Christ will help children recognize that bullying behavior is not of God and leave them with no doubt of what God Said - they are important, they are not alone, they are loved, they are special, they are protected, they are strong, and they are blessed!

Praise for...God Said

"Truly an uplifting book for my child to read and reread before saying our nightly prayers. Beautifully written and illustrated, it keeps the Word of God each night close to his heart."

"What an absolute delight of a book! You’ll find darling illustrations paired with beautiful Bible verses, told in a way that your kids can easily understand His word. I originally bought this for my 7 year old nephew’s birthday, but I just had to get my own copy after reading the first two pages. Great quality paper, artwork, and story telling. Both kids and adults can enjoy!"

"God Said is a delightful and inspiring children's book that introduces young readers to the beauty of creation and the power of God's words. With simple, engaging language and colorful illustrations, it introduces young readers to the power of God's words and the wonders of the world He created. The book's gentle tone and uplifting message make it a perfect choice for sparking faith and curiosity in children!"
 

"God Said is a beautifully written and visually captivating. A Powerful story that opens the door to meaningful conversations about faith, identity, and God’s word. Picture the read aloud moments at home, in Sunday school, or at bedtime. The cadence is comforting and the illustrations are rich in color and imagination. God Said is a must-have for families looking to connect with God. Highly recommend for everyone as it is timeless in its message."

"This wonderful book is powerful and invites adults to meditate with the child on God’s love. I read with my six year old granddaughter and each page after or during reading, we paused to understand, the impact of God’s love. This book is not a typical book that breezes through in a few minutes and then all done. Thank you Jennifer Boado Simmons for writing this book!" 

"Beautifully explains God’s love in a way that’s easy for children to understand. I love the simple daily prayers that’s a wonderful start or end to the day. Highly recommend!"
