Each book has a specific topic that is illustrated but I found the three books to be confusing at times. They didn’t really flow and I was disappointed in some of the pictures. I did read the three books several times and finally figured out what the author was trying to convey to readers. I was able to find some good points in the books but overall I didn’t like how the books were presented with illustrations that were abstract in a way that made me wonder if I was understanding the relation to picture and topic.

This book was a bit more serious as we find a couple just married. They are excited about the future but seem to wander without purpose. They look for direction in the wrong places and start to pull apart. A great loss finds them lost and alone. It was a hard book to read only because I think we all have been through a time where we question why we are here. What is our purpose and are we seeking God for answers?

I am always reminding myself that I was told I would never amount to anything, I was ugly and no one loved me. In this book the girl goes around and around with words in her head similar to mine. How can you find rest when all you hear is hurtful words? The girl didn’t want to rest, for she felt she had no time. She must continue her journey so she wouldn’t fail. When she finally becomes still she then begins to hear, “Draw near to me. I will give you rest.” When we surrender with our thoughts , we can find rest in God.

This is a look at how you perceive yourself. When we look in the mirror we become critical of ourselves. I absolutely loved the part in the book when the girl was reminded that “God called and breathed you into being.” Oh if only we could get to a place where we see ourselves like Jesus does. The enemy will try anything to make you feel rejected. Allow yourself to feel freedom like the girl in the book. She felt at peace and knew that God would always be there for her.
