If I had to summarize my book, A Guide for the Baby Christian, I would describe it as a series of short stories that are Christian-inspired that are accompanied by the first two books of the Bible, written in my personal style. What my book isn't is a replacement for the Bible. While fame and fortune are important, my primary goal for this book is not to make money but rather to make people curious about the Bible. If one person reads this book and feels a need to pursue the gospel of Jesus Christ, I would consider my book a success. Praise the Lord!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You. Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God’s love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support. And whenever a child is unsure, What Is God Like? encourages young hearts to “think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like.”
