The Maker of the Mountain

The Maker of the Mountain by Sandra McCracken and Tim Nicholson is a beautiful book to help your children discover what God is like.

With gorgeous illustrations by Fia Tobing, this book gives off a classic feel – charming and heartwarming. It tells the story of Little Brown Bear who goes on an adventure to find the maker of the mountain. The bear journeys through nature with biblical imagery.

Lift Your Eyes

I especially love the language in the book: God is like a bridge, steady and sure, leading me safely on the right path. God is like the gate to the pasture, keeping us safe and sending us out. God is like the vine helping me grow strong.

The Maker of the Mountain has become a bedtime favorite to read to my kids. This book will help your children lift their eyes – and their hearts – to God.
