Wonderlit Review
Della Reese's "God Inside of Me" is a gentle, faith-based narrative that explores themes of inner strength and spiritual connection through the eyes of a relatable young protagonist, Kenisha. The story begins with Kenisha's everyday frustrations with her toys, providing an accessible entry point for young readers. It then transitions into her reflection on Sunday School teachings, leading to a personal realization about the divine presence within herself and others. The book handles its spiritual message directly but with a light touch, emphasizing kindness, self-worth, and resilience rather than strict dogma. The emotional arc is one of gentle discovery, moving from minor frustration to a profound sense of peace and empowerment. This book is particularly suited for children aged 4-8 who are beginning to ask questions about faith, God, or their own inner feelings, or for families seeking a comforting story with a spiritual message. Parents should be prepared to discuss the concept of 'God' in a way that aligns with their family's beliefs, as the book offers a broad, inclusive interpretation. It stands out for its warm, personal tone and its focus on the practical, emotional benefits of spiritual understanding.
