This is what people are saying about God Made Me for Heaven<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMarty Machowski\u2019s\u00a0God Made me for Heaven<\/em>\u00a0is a simple and delightful book that will help children look forward to living forever with Jesus and God\u2019s people. It\u2019s centered on the gospel, the good news of salvation in Jesus, which is the basis on which anyone can be assured of Heaven. Beautifully written and illustrated.\u201d
\nRandy Alcorn<\/strong>, Author of\u00a0Heaven<\/em>,\u00a0Heaven for Kids<\/em>, and\u00a0It\u2019s All About Jesus<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSimple yet profound, Marty Machowski’s\u00a0new\u00a0book,\u00a0God Made Me for Heaven<\/em>\u00a0walks children (and adults) through the glorious future that we anticipate\u00a0as Christians. Engagingly presented with attractive illustrations, this book will help parents teach their kids important lessons about death and heaven. Highly recommended!”
\nIain Duguid,\u00a0<\/strong>Professor of Old Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary; author of\u00a0Jonah: Grace for Sinners and Saints<\/em><\/p>\n

“Children naturally ask questions as they observe, interpret, and apply their worldview. We need trustworthy resources to help us confidently answer their questions according to what the Bible says. Reading and rereading\u00a0God Made Me For Heaven<\/em>\u00a0to your\u00a0children is an engaging and clear way to introduce and reinforce a biblical perspective on heaven and eternity.”
\nGloria\u00a0Furman<\/strong>, Author of\u00a0Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Labor with Hope\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMany years ago, Jonathan Edwards gave wonderful counsel to Christians when he said, \u2018Labor to be much acquainted with heaven.\u2019\u00a0Children need that advice just as much as anyone.\u00a0Machowski\u2019s simple yet biblically rich book will help that happen, and in the process moms and dads will be reminded of the glories up ahead as well.\u00a0I highly recommend this book and, now that I\u2019m a grandpa, I can\u2019t wait to put it to use myself.\u201d
\nMike\u00a0Bullmore,\u00a0<\/strong>Senior Pastor, CrossWay Community Church, Bristol, WI<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Christian parents, we all want to prepare our children for the real world\u2014and for the next. Marty Machowski\u2019s latest gospel-saturated book,\u00a0God Made Me for Heaven<\/em>, helps parents do both. Engagingly illustrated and written, Marty grounds his story in Scripture and invites young readers into the breathtaking delights that God is preparing. Hearing about the new creation never gets old.\u201d
