📢 Calling all parents and grandparents (and aunts and uncles, too… ;-)
Are you looking for God-honoring books that will delight your young child’s heart and mind?
Are you disappointed with mainstream children’s books and their anti-Christian messages?
Are you frustrated trying to find books for your kids that are Biblical AND creative?
Are you ready to start discipling your children with engaging, dynamic, Bible-based resources?
Then check this out! 👇🏼
I’m SO excited about the release of Guess How Much God Loves You!
“Lucy Lu has a question—and it’s the biggest question of all: Does God really love me? Using the wonders of the creation story, her Papa offers a sweetly reassuring and scriptural answer. And it’s the answer all children—from one to ninety two—need to hear.” Tama Fortner, Best Selling Christian Author
This first book in the 7 part series will take your child(ren) on an adventure through God’s Creation as recorded in Genesis, and teach them three simple but powerful truths:
God is the Creator of the world.
God created them in His image.
God loves them.
Why did I write this book?
Because as a grandmom I was frustrated seeing so many children’s books promoting anti-biblical principles. I remember how important it was for me to teach my girls about God in a way that was engaging, easy to relate to, and Bible based, and now it seems even harder to find these types of resources.
This charming book is a beautifully illustrated adventure through the Biblical story of Creation. Vivid descriptions will teach even the youngest readers about the love of God using language they understand, and the incorporation of real-life situations we can all relate to. The included discussion questions are a valuable bonus. The book is a much-needed reminder for us all that we are formed in the image of a magnificent Creator. Kelly Wilson Mize, Author of The Beautiful Story Within Me
Young children are so impressionable and they are bombarded with ungodly messages every day, in ways that would have been unbelievable ten years ago. I wanted to be part of the solution and create something dynamic, fun, and creative – grounded in the truths of the Bible – for parents and grandparents to share with that special child in their life.
I wanted children to know these aren’t just ‘stories’ from the Bible, but historical accounts. Something that really happened. But I also wanted to inspire their imagination. To engage their creative minds and hook them into reading the Bible. And more than anything I wanted young readers to know their life matters - that every life matters to God.
So with much excitement and expectation, I’d like to introduce you to the main character, Lucy Lu ✨
Isn’t she cute? :-) Lucy has lot’s of questions about God…
Questions like: How old is He? Does He sleep? What does He do all day? And the biggest one of all – does God really love me?
After one particularly hard day, feeling like she doesn’t matter, Lucy sits with her Papa Joe who has promised to answer these questions and more, launching them onto a journey to discover God’s never changing, never failing, never ending love.
In a super-friendly and page-turning fashion, the story of creation is told in such a way that highlights the superb value of each human being to God, and His deep love for them. Whether we are disabled or abled, we all at times feel a lack of value and Lucy's grandfather takes Lucy straight to the Word to coach her on her inward beauty. With the beautiful animal illustrations, Lucy is able to experience things through the story that she may never be able to experience on this side of heaven, and this brings encouragement and joy to the readers. A gorgeous book, inside and out. Julie Bonn Blank, Author of Innocent Lives
What follows is a wild adventure through the Bible, where Lucy and her Papa literally find themselves in the middle of it all, on each page of the exciting story of God’s love and faithfulness for ALL people throughout ALL of history! This first book in the series is all about the Creation of God 🌎
I'm super excited about this book series because it fills an important need in the children's book industry, for kids and the adults who buy books for them.
It promotes biblically-based concepts that are key to building a strong and sustainable faith in God, as well as a healthy understanding of the value God has placed on ALL people. And it does so in a fun and engaging way.
Guess How Much God Loves You is a breath of fresh air among all the fantasy and wizardry novels that are out there for kids to read today. With colorful illustrations, Ferguson takes her readers on a journey along side Lucy Lu - a seven year old first grader who loves to ask questions especially about God. A good addition for any child’s personal bookshelf but also for children’s church worship times or Sunday schools. Rebecca Lee, Book Reviewer
If you agree that we need more positive alternatives to the mainstream children's books that so often promote anti-biblical concepts and ways of living, then I have great news…

“A beautiful story of God’s great love in what can feel like a big, bad, and unfriendly world. Guess How Much God Loves You is a terrific way to show kids what the Bible really is: God’s love letter to us all! If you have young kids or grandkids, this is a must-read.”

Through this sweet interaction between Lucy and her grandfather, Guess How Much God Loves You by Karen Ferguson teaches children two of the most important lessons of all…that God loves them and they are created in His image. As a mom of young girls, I know that these lessons are imperative for our children to learn, perhaps now more than ever.

Oh, how God loves little children! Young readers, like the story’s Lucy Lu, will happily snuggle with this charmingly creative Bible-based picture book.
