You Are Special by Max Lucado (1997, Hardcover)

Heart-warming message. Everyone should read it. This is not just a children's story. Most people have probably felt unloved at some time in their lives. I sat in on a youth group meeting and was in tears when the pastor read this story. It was at a time I needed to know I was loved. Get your hands on this book and share it with someone. Excellent book!

I loved this book. The pictures are perfect for young children to look at. This book shows children that no matter what problems they might have, they are still special. There is a God who cares about them, regardless of what others think. This is a must read for young children.

This is one of the best childrens books ever written. But the Truths in the book apply to people from 2 to 92. If you have kids, this is a must have book!

no matter what faith you are this book is FANTASTIC. it's my understanding the author has heavy christian roots, and it does shine though a little bit in the story. the book is GREAT! it's actually a book for all ages when you really stop to think about it's message.

This is a great book for children about beinf different. I bought it for a friend. I didn't want to pay the retail price so got it here for such a small price. I love getting a bargain for what I buy

This is the best story. I had this book once but lost it so I went on ebay and found another copy. At a fair price too. :)

Love the book. Max Lucado is a great author. This book tells the story of wooden people who want peers to approve of them but when one wooden person realizes that what he really needs is the Maker's approval, he can have the joy that He intends because the Maker loves him for who is he. God, our Maker loves us despite our faults and failures but people choose to pick out those things and shun us for them. All Ages should read this book.

This is the most WONDERFUL book for your children EVER!! Hits home with many adults too!!! To teach about the amazing love that Christ has for us!!! Although the Lord is not mentioned by name in the book ... the author refers to the wood carver, Eli, as The Maker. But it is very clear that the maker in our lives is God!!! Deals with prejudice, self-worth, "labeling" people and how hurtful judging others can be. The basic meaning behind the book is the more you trust God's love and how much you matter to Him the less you care about what others say or think!! PERFECT for Sunday School!! Even the younger kids pick up on the real meaning as you discuss with them. The illustrations are beautiful too!!! I LOVED the book sooooo much that I bought the DVD too!!! designedbydonna <><

This book just wonderfully demonstrates the unconditional love of our Creator for us! It is easy for children to understand and very enjoyable for adults to read to children and it touches all ages deeply and to the core. It is a great and simple reminder the God makes no mistakes and we are all people and all loves the same and are all special to Him!

Book was shipped with no problems...the book was in great condition. Received the book in time to give as a gift.

We used this book at a camp I lead on for kids... and it challenged me more than some of them. It really clearly illustrates how much God loves me and that it is His love and opinion of me that it important. God made me and He doesn't make mistakes!!! A real blessing of book! Beautiful illustrations also!
