I Know He Is There

I Know He Is There

How do you teach a young child to have faith, to believe in things he can't see? This book is an ideal teaching tool to help very young Latter-day Saints understand the Heavenly Father is real, and that his love can be felt all around us. Through the eyes, ears, hands, and nose of a precocious little girl, children will begin to grasp the first principle of the gospel. For example, in one instance she says, "When Grandma calls me on the telephone, I can't see her . . . but I know she is there." With each page, readers can lift-the-flap with a discovery that will reaffirm their faith, remembering, "If you have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."
