It's Time to Sleep, My Love January 6, 2009 Thanks to Eric Metaxas and Nancy Tillman, I am soon to become a superhero of naptimes in the eyes of at least three families. This book, so charmingly written and so beautifully illustrated, will be the primary instrument by which I claim my superhero status, accompanied by a CD to be given each of my "Grands", containing the quiet classical music they have learned to endure at my house when they play with their toys and I play on the keys of my "Grand". A perfect recipe for sleep, I am anticipating, to be followed shortly thereafter by a coronation of "Grandmommy, the Magnificent", who gives her children a few quiet hours of rest each day. Thank you, Eric Metaxas and Nancy Tillman, for making me look good.
Exquisite January 6, 2009 As soon as this book by Eric Metaxas, along with its two sister books also illustrated by Nancy Tillman arrived, I ran around to Walter who runs my local bookstore in London, England. His comment was "Exquisite. There is definitely a market for these books in England". Eric's innate love of his daughter, of life, of God flows through the poetry of his lullaby. Three babies are due in my family this year, and all are going to receive a set of these beautiful books.
