The Maker Of The Mountain A Story About What God Is Like

What is God like?

Children often wonder what God is like. Is He big and old? Near or far? In The Maker of the Mountain, a sweet story combines with imagery from Scripture to help young readers better understand God’s power and care.

Little Bear’s mama sends him on an adventure, encouraging him to lift his eyes to find the Maker of the mountain. At each stop along the way, Little Bear meets new friends who have each seen the Maker and can tell the small bear more about what He’s like. At the pasture, he learns that God is like a gate, always keeping His sheep safe. In the vineyard, the bear learns that God is like the vine, helping us to grow. And on the mountain, he sees that the Maker is sturdy and strong.

Whether shared at story time or bedtime, The Maker of the Mountain will leave readers not only captivated by Little Bear’s journey but also comforted to know God better. He is like a bridge and a gate, a rock and a boat. And, as Little Bear learns, when we lift our eyes to Him, God is always there to light our way home.
