Smack-Dab in the Middle of God’s Love is a book about a middle age couple, Willie Juan and Ana, who live in a small Mexican Village. They loved each other very much. Most of all, they loved God. Willie Juan and Ana, were unable to have children of their own, but they loved children dearly and always had a houseful of children from the village come to visit.
Willie Juan loved to ask the children questions and asked them one day, “Little friends, someday, when you are in Heaven, what do you think Abba will ask you?” This got the kids to thinking and a couple of the kids had a couple of very good questions.
I liked this book a lot for a couple of reasons. The main one is it is trying to show just how much God loves you. Not only do they show it through the couples love of children, but also in the conversations they have with the children. It does it in a way that younger children can understand it. Also, the illustrations in this book are beautiful. Very colorful and eye catching.
Overall, this is a very sweet book. My 6 year old and I loved reading it together. It will be a book that we will read often together.
