About the Book

For the first time, this beloved Christian allegory is a mixed-media special edition complete with charming watercolor paintings, antique tinted photography, meditative hand-lettered Scripture, journaling and doodling space, and designs to color. As you read and connect with the story of Much-Afraid and her trials, the pages of this book become a canvas on which to chronicle your own story, struggles, and personal triumphs.

Hinds’ Feet on High Places, with more than 2,000,000 copies sold, is a story of endurance, persistence, and reliance on God. This book has inspired millions of people to become sure-footed in their faith even when facing the rockiest of life’s terrain. The story of Much-Afraid is based on Psalm 18:33: “He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.”

The complete Hinds’ Feet story is accented by 80 full-color paintings, photography, and hand-lettered Scripture.

My Thoughts
This classic story has been recommended to me multiple times over the years, yet somehow I've never made the time for it. I wish I had because the story itself is a beautiful allegory that is easy to apply to daily life. There are so many messages and themes that could be pulled out of the story, but ultimately, it's a story about walking with Jesus and relying on God instead of yourself.

This particularly version is stunning. I mean, absolutely beautiful. The illustrations really added to the story, and I loved the Scripture added throughout. I also appreciated the journaling spaces and questions. It helped me process what I was reading and gave the story a more personal feel. I highly recommend for gift giving or personal use. I'll read this book again.  [5 stars]

My Thoughts
Cute, rhyming book that helps kids count to 10, learn body parts, and hear the truth that they are uniquely made by God! A few verses are sprinkled throughout as well to support the ideas stated in the text. I also LOVED that the kids pictured on the pages all look different from one another. I can find one who looks like me, and my daughter can find one who looks like her, and others who read this book can too! This would be a great addition to any child's library. [5 stars]

My Thoughts
We are really enjoying this storybook Bible! We read a little each night, so it's nice to have a book that will last for a while! I do think the daily readings are a little shorter than we prefer, so we typically read two each night. However, the B&H Kids Editorial Team does a wonderful job including as much detail as possible from the actual Bible, yet putting it in words that a kid is more likely to understand. My husband and I have commented several times that we feel like this reads more like a true Bible than a "Bible story," which we feel will be important as our little one grows up. I also appreciate that they chose to include so many stories that shorter books don't typically have room for. It seems like you're able to go a little deeper rather than simply hitting the highlights.

Our little one is technically too young for this book now, but we feel it's important to start family devotions early. We'll be pulling this book out again and again over the years. [5 stars]
