Mother God

Our world has been mostly patriarchal societies throughout history. Many of the books collected in The Holy Bible are written from those who wrote from that perspective in their times. However, even when the original writers did not ascribe God with a gender, or describe God with female and motherly attributes, translators have chosen or have been pressured or edited toward a male bias in describing God. 

This preamble is likely longer than the entire book. This is a children's book, not a theological deep dive. However, those who are willing to look will find the characterizations of God in these pages do, in fact, exist in the pages of our Holy Bible. I like that this book takes time to teach our children that he made both male and female are made in God's image. 

As others have said I wish I had this book as a child! It is beautiful and it is such good theology too, drawing on images from the Bible that depict God as our Mother. The illustrations are gorgeous too!
