Bedtime for Baby Book Reviews: I Can Only Imagine (Picture Book)

I Can Only Imagine is one of my favorite songs of faith.  The song holds a special place in my heart as Hubby and I had moved cross country around the time it was released.  I was going through a period of adjustment in my life and the song helped me through.
The lyrics seemed to resonate with so many others as the song topped charts for nearly 2 decades, yes 20 years.  The song has been recorded by contemporary artists, country artists and most recently by gospel award winning artist, Tamela Mann.

Few songs make the transition to the big screen but I Can Only Imagine did just that in the Spring of 2018.  Box Office Mojo said the film is the 3rd top grossing music biopic of all time earning over $80 million since it's March 2018 release.

Now the song has been made into a picture book for the kiddos. I Can Only Imagine: "A Friendship with Jesus Now and Forever."     


Book Description
Encourage your children’s sense of wonder and faith with I Can Only Imagine, inspired by the hit song by MercyMe. This beautiful picture book will capture your family’s childlike faith and imagination.

I Can Only Imagine asks questions a child might ask and invites families to wonder together: What is heaven like? What does God do? What would it be like to spend a day with Jesus? Children will see that although experiencing the glory of heaven may be far off, we can enjoy a friendship with Jesus every day - right here on earth. Whimsical, playful illustrations and thought-provoking questions make this a book that families will cherish.

Fun and vibrant illustrations offer a vivid visual and will help your children see that God can be found everywhere, every day.

I think about heaven as I look up at the sky

And watch the fluffy clouds roll by.

The more I imagine, the more I wish I knew.

I wonder, would God like pancakes with extra syrup too?

And if God and I spent the day together, what exactly would we do?


The Christian worship song “I Can Only Imagine” touched countless lives with its glorious representation of being in the presence of God, and this beautifully illustrated picture book invites you and your children to imagine those same wonders. Share the joy of a personal relationship with the Lord with your family today through the creative, faith-filled book I Can Only Imagine.


I Can Only Imagine can be found wherever Thomas Nelson books are sold including Thomas Nelson Online and bookstores worldwide.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
