A message of unity
Format: Hardcover
The Celebration Place is a vibrant picture book highlighting diverse cultures and people worshipping God in a variety of glorious ways. This inclusive book portrays vocal artists, indigenous groups, and a person in a wheelchair in praise of a God whose presence reaches around the globe. The book’s message rings clear: when God’s people assemble in love, the church is a celebratory place. The back matter prompts further conversation. Children and their caregivers will want this important book in their hands and on their shelves. This honest review is based on an e-advanced reader copy from the author and publisher.

Beautiful book!
Format: Kindle
What a wonderful book! I read this with my son and we loved the beautiful illustrations that depicted so many different people groups. Though we are in a season where I know of so many who are experiencing “church-hurt,” The Celebration Place gave a glimpse of at least one church where all are welcome and where people don’t have to leave their ethnicity, style, or even age at the door. The energy just leaps off the page and creates a genuine sense of celebration!

An Invitation to God's Future
Format: Hardcover
I loved this little book. It is wonderfully illustrated, faithful to the eschatological vision of unity in Christ, and invitational. While not all churches today are mulit-ethnic or multi-national, that's the future, when Jesus culminates his saving work. Why not live today in light of how things will be in eternity?

Beautiful depiction of diversity AND inclusion
Format: Hardcover
This book is very inspiring and hopeful. As a person of color I love seeing the possibility of what church can look like if we welcomed and celebrated peoples’ uniquenesses. The illustrations are beautiful and there is so much joy in the words, and I’m excited for my child to grow up seeing this as the “norm”.
