“Love Letters from God gives the biblical narrative in a new and fresh way. A special invitation from the author saves the best for last.”
David Baker, Baker Books
“Glenys Nellist writes beautiful bible stories for young children. The brilliant letters ensure the reader is loved by God!”
Beth Ainsworth
“I fell in love with this book the moment I opened it. Such a beautiful book. When reading you can picture the stories happening.”
D. L. Montgomery
“I think this is a beautiful concept. In an age of text messaging, snapchat, e-mail, etc., it is ever more special to get an old-fashioned piece of mail.”
Matt Armstrong
“There are children’s Bible story books a plenty, but Glenys Nellist has taken a completely unique approach to sharing these Bible stories.”
Suzette Ladouceur
“This book is phenomenal in personalizing God for a young child. The stories help the truth of God’s love come alive to developing minds and the pictures capture the attention of the youngest child.”
Jill Toth
“An absolutely beautiful book, suitable as a gift for many different occasions. The stories are touching and written with great sensitivity for young children.”
Andrea Gaskell

“There is no one that tells Bible Stories like Glenys Nellist. She speaks their language and keeps their attention at all times.”
Dorothy M. Neal
“What a wonderful book. So eye catching, it really makes you want to keep turning the page!”
Mrs. M.E. Moore
“Love Letters From God is a beautiful book containing three powerful elements with each Bible account – a well-written story that conveys the Bible message clearly to young readers & listeners, a Love Letter reinforcing the idea taught and reminding those little ears that God knows & loves them, a verse that wraps everything up.”
Jacqulyn T. Card
“Love Letters from God is the perfect starter devotional for children.”
Whitney Jordan
“This is a truly unique book of bible stories written at a young child’s level. Superbly illustrated, it brings the love of God right into the hands, and hearts, of little children with its wonderful lift-the-flap personalized messages.”
Pauline Smith
“I loved each and every letter that was attached to the pages. They were insightful and will touch a child’s heart at their level. I was also in awe of the invitation in the back and the blank letter for the child to write a letter to God.”
Cindy Loven
The favorite character in Christmas always has to be Jesus. But in your book in particular, I really like the cow and the lamb that are standing together. Thanks for this contest!
Thank you Becky! The illustrations in the book are really wonderful and I can’t take any credit for that!
Becky..I’m thrilled to let you know that you won a copy of Twas the evening of Christmas! Please email your address to glenysnellist@gmail.com
i just love the shepherds! the thought of shepherds always gave me a safe feeling when i was little
That is so sweet to hear Amy!
I left a comment on your FB page and shared it, too. Will you place enter me in your contest for those? Thanks!
Yes, Becky, of course! Thanks for entering!
I like this book. My favorite has to be Jesus, but I like the animals and the other characters.
Jesus is the reason for the season, so that is my favorite. I like the animals, especially the sheep. There is Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the angels, etc. I think about all the old Christmas songs like “Joy To the World”. Jesus-what a wonderful gift.
Amen Mary!
Oh Glenys, I’m new to the Children’s books world, and am seeing this for the first time. Wow, I’m moved by the reverence it inspires. I can’t wait to read it to children that come into my life (I didn’t get to have my own, but so many come and go through Church service and friends.) . I would love to read it to a sunday school class and discuss their favorites parts and characters. You are masterful at channeling the wonder and creativity of a child. Thank you! much love, Patti.
Bless you, Patti, for your kind words. I’m so glad we’re connected in this amazing world of children’s publishing!
Jesus of course.. and all the angels
Shared the post on Facebook of course🤞
Thank you Amy! You’re entered twice!
The Shepherds. The shepherds are my favorite. Ordinary people called to witness amazing things. Just like us. 🙂
Yes! That is a lovely thought Jessica!
I would say in the Christmas Story, the animals. To see the ordinary was the place that God was born. It shows that he was here to be like the ordinary and to struggle like us as humans. I love that the animals were there to greet him and show us these things.
What a lovely perspective Sharon!
Jesus of course!
😁
And the three winners are: Becky (on this blog), Cynthia Beach (on Facebook) and Claudina Kestner (on Instagram.) Congrats ladies! I hope you love the book!
Oh thank you Glenys, I will definitely enjoy it. Many Blessings! Becky
I just purchased your book and I really enjoy it! I saw you mention in a facebook post that you have a free activity and resource packet which includes a play adaptation of the book. I was wondering if that has been published yet? I love the book so much that I would love to have my children’s ministry use it as part of the Christmas Eve Children’s program. Please let me know when you will have that published and where I could find it. Thank you!
Hi Kim! Yes, The pack is available now and I’ll be posting about it tomorrow! I will email you the link…
