Book Reviews of Just the Way You Are
Book Review: Read this to your children
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this little story to my daughter tonight. She is 5. It prompter her to ask all kinds of questions that led to us having a great conversation about the meaning of this book. It also helped me put some things in perspective, too. I think we are better people because of it.Book Review: WHAT IMPRESSES YOU?
Summary: 5 Stars
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE is a wonderful story that any child will enjoy because we all want to impress people--it's human nature. It is about orphans finding out they are going to be adopted by the king. They are very excited and don't know what to do. The townspeople tell them they need to prepare fine gifts to "impress him when he arrives," so each one begins working fervently preparing his/her gift. One of the orphans can't think of a skill/gift she has and goes to each of the other orphans asking for help. Each one is abrupt, sending her off saying they are in a hurry and don't have time to help her. The girl feels she has nothing to give and is very sad. The king comes dressed in common clothes and the orphan who has no gift greets him and feeds and grooms his donkey. She sees that this man is very tired and offers him a place to rest. When he wakes up he then goes out to find his orphans and later returns to the girl caring for his donkey, disappointed because everyone was too busy to see him.
The king tells the orphan girl she gave the best gift of all...
There is so much beauty in this book. A valuable story for children to hear, understand and apply to their lives. I give JUST THE WAY YOU ARE a very high recommendation.

Book Review: What an example of God's amazing LOVE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! What can I say? He's done it again. Max Lucado's children's books are without a doubt, the best. Just the Way You Are is an awesome story that illustrates the simpleness of entering into the kingdom of heaven. A MUST for children AND adults alike!Book Review: Wonderful child message
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be a wonderful addition to any parents library. The story of a child that feels she must be something other than herself to please someone, and learns she can be "just the way she is" to be loved is a perfect message for children today. Every child needs to be loved unconditionally and just the way they were made. I highly recommend it.
