Harukana - the Japanese Reader Steven a Jameson Japanese edition

Whether in Japan, the United States, Europe or places beyond, reading this book will help bring peace to the lives of hurting people. Reading this book and enjoying the colorful illustrations will help disarm worry and fear. A gift of this book is a gift of peace. "Beyond" is a book well worth having. The artwork gives reinforcement to the powerful words about God and His desire to work comfort in our lives, and is a wonderful resource for bringing comfort to hurting people. Sometimes we need to hear a calm voice. Nighttime noises and daytime surprises can cause anytime tears and fears. Then we need a word of comfort. Sometimes, though, God seems far away, even inaccessible, because He is "transcendent". (That means God is beyond all that exists.) Yet the Bible tells us He is always close at hand, a powerful friend. He is IMMANENT. (That means He is an ever-present help in times of trouble.) He is far away, but He is near at the same time. "Beyond, Yet Still With You" combines gentle poetry and colorful illustrations to bring a word of comfort. The poem helps us explore this near/far aspect of God. The reader and the listener are reminded that God delights in His people. He protects us with His power. He comforts us with His presence. He watches out for us when we are out on a limb, walking through puddles and going to bed. He is an ever-present help in times of trouble. Reading this book brings the comfort of those concepts to adults and children. The poetry of Steve Jameson and the artwork of Erin Jameson Brown, a father/daughter team, and the lyrical translation work of Machiko Kamiya Whittaker, work together to teach us that we are safe because God is transcendent yet involved, distant yet immanent. God is, therefore, "Beyond, Yet Still With You". To find more peace in your life, or to help another find that peace, bring this book into your life today.
