With poetic language and gorgeous handcrafted mixed-media collages and mosaics, Picturing God
brings to life the many metaphors for God found in the Bible. God is
the light, living water, a father, a mother, clothing, a rock, wind,
comforter, a door, the Good Shepherd, and more. Poet and artist Ruth
Goring invites children and adults alike to revisit the beautiful
imagery found in Scripture and provides an opportunity for children to
develop their imagination about who God is.
At the end of the
book, a list of Bible references is provided for each image depicted for
families to look up and learn more about the Bible's many ways of
picturing God.
