God Created by Mark Francisco Bozzuti-Jones Illustrated by Jui Ishida

The ancient story of creation comes alive in energetic words and pictures that capture hearts and imaginations. God Created celebrates the natural and human worlds and reminds us of our shared origin and kinship.

How these stories are connected: Psalm 8 is a logical extension of the Creation story; once we are moved by the beauty of creation, we naturally praise God.
