I Can't Believe My Eyes

Josh Cooley is an incredibly gifted writer and godly brother! So grateful for his heart of love for the Lord, people, and especially children. He has a unique, God-given gift to illustrate the excellencies and wonders of The Lord and truths from the Bible, in a very simple and profound way, for kids to understand. I am so grateful for Josh and for the Lord's work in Him, to help him faithfully equip the next generation with gospel truths, that will have an eternal impact.

What a great faith formation resource!

This book is a gift! I love seeing how Josh unpacks and presents such a difficult question for kids with a whole lot of grace and holy curiosity. I love the theological foundation it brings for kids and families. It's also a huge win for thoughtful God conversations between dads and kids. The story is so beautiful! I love how Joshua let the dad spend time with the kid rather than just answering questions. Very thoughtful, relationally driven, and age appropriate! Love the pull out pages too! Very fun! Hannah Green did a phenomenal job making the story come alive! What a great resource for churches and parents to share with kids!

A soon-to-be favorite!

Josh Cooley has created another story line that speaks to both children and their parents, grandparents, and teachers. As our children learn about Creator God, people made in His image, our Savior and the Word, the adults in the room gain insights about discipling children who ask, “Is God real?” The flow of the narrative and the spectacular illustrations will make this book one of the favorites in your kids’ library.

Invites kids to discover God in the world around them

This is the book I needed when my skeptical child was struggling to find faith, wondering if God was real, searching for reasons to believe. She wanted to believe, but needed to figure out WHY she believed—and what SHE believed. As a natural doubter myself, someone who had to fight for my faith, it was a privilege walking my daughter through her questions, just as my skeptic-turned-believer dad had once walked me through mine. This gorgeously illustrated book is a sweet story that invites children to ask questions and discover God in the world around them. It also encourages parents who are pointing their children to eternal truth. This beautiful book is a meaningful tool that supports parents in that most sacred of efforts. I know this story will be a blessing to your family and to the parents and kids in your life.

Excellent resource for teaching our children about the Lord!

Josh Cooley has really knocked one out of the park with this book! The story is fun tale that explores the question parents face so often, "How do we know God is real?" The book takes you on delightful fall adventure as the father shares how we can know God is real by the things he has done. Just as the wind can't be seen (but we can see what it does), so too can we know God by the mighty works he has done. Cooley has an exceptional talent for connecting to the heart of children and this book is evident. It's fun, engaging, and helps bring children right into the story. Additionally, the images and pictures are amazing. Paired together with the excellent message, this book is the perfect resource for parents who are teaching their children to know and love the Lord.

Amazing Children's Book

This book helps kids understand the theology of God's existence in easy-to-understand, interesting, and age-appropriate ways. My kids LOVED this book! I bought several to give to friends. The pictures are great too! This is a fantastic book for kids of all ages to help strengthen their faith in God.

Lynne

Absolute best children’s book for teaching about God!

It can be difficult trying to explain to a kid who God is. (It can be difficult to explain to many adults also!) I discovered this book, and it is the best at helping children to understand the Creator of our universe in a fun way. The combination of the wording plus the incredible full-page images make it an in-depth experience. My kids have been wanting to read it every day! Great for children of any age. Get it as a gift for parents or grandparents to read to their kids, too.

Beautifully illustrated and written

Through thoughtful words and beautiful illustrations of a windy fall day shared by father & son, I Can't Believe My Eyes helps kids see evidence of God's existence in everything & everyone around them. My own adult eyes were opened to truths I've known my whole life, but needed to be reminded of in a fresh way! A good book to enjoy with your family on a cozy autumn day—and any time of the year! Highly recommended.
