Items related to What is God? (What Is? Life Concepts Series, 1)
What do you say when children ask the question: "What is God?"? Where do you start to explain? This book is an excellent non-denominational approach. Beautifully illustrated and written in simple direct language, it looks at universality of different religions and the spirituality which links people of all creeds, cultures and beliefs. Amongst the questions which are addressed: Is God in the thunder and lightning? Is God in the stars and the universe? Is God an old man in the clouds? Is God a mystery and a puzzle? What is religion? What are Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists? What are the Holy books? Why are religions different? How are they similar? Why do people pray? How can I talk to God? Beautifully written in 58 easy-to-follow stanzas of blank verse. Non-denominational approach covers all kids of religion and the importance of the freedom to worship and to be able to think for yourself. Beautifully illustrated with 16 full page full colour illustrations showing different ideas, religions and practices

Review:
This is a thoughtful introduction to the many meanings of God, to the world's religions, and the author even gives a moment's thought to the many ways to pray.--Christine Watson"Santa Cruz Sentinel" (11/23/1990)
How I wish I'd found this book ten years ago.... When I stumbled on this book two months ago, I was thrilled. Critics might see it as a soft-core, everything-and-the-kitchen-sick approach to discussing religion, but that's exactly what I needed.-- (10/01/2008)
Etan Boritzer provides young people with interesting, thoughtful perspectives to these types of questions about God... Many spiritual questions are pondered and are presented in a way that shows that...ultimately we all believe in the same things.... A great addition to any home or school library. Highly Recommended.-- (04/13/2012)
A delightfully ecumenical book that answers questions straightforwardly and stresses the similarities of the world's religions in simple language. The color pictures are whimsical and sure to delight readers of all ages.--Washington Post

Etan Boritzer has worked as a journalist for several magazines and his poetry has been published in various European and American journals. Etan's travels and studies in the Far East and other parts of the world, have led to his realization that the numerous and sometimes confusing concepts of God should be synthesized and made more accessible to children. Etan Boritzer currently resides near Santa Monica, California, writing screenplays and more children's books. Robbie Marantz is a freelance illustrator living in New York City. She grew up in Los Angeles and was educated at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
