I’ve been acquainted with Jessica and Matthew Paul Turner for a few years, but it’s only been since we’ve moved to the Nashville area that I’ve really gotten to know them well. And let me tell you, these two are the real deal.
They’ve loved on us, invited us into their home multiple times, asked us to come with them to events, listened to us, and gone out of their way to truly welcome us to Tennessee. Their friendship has been a gift to us and has been an answer to many prayers we’ve prayed for authentic friendships and community.
You know how there are people who just make you feel so special and loved and cared for? That’s the Turners.
And I couldn’t be prouder of them today as they are launching their brand-new children’s book called God Made Light. They have poured years into this project and have funded it with a significant portion of their savings.
This book is a playful, whimsical adventure through the creation of light. It encourages children to remember that they were created for a purpose — to shine and make a difference in this world.
I am really hoping that this is the first of many children’s books they produce because it’s beautiful and so meaningful. The pictures are very well done and its rhyming lyrics make it so fun to read!
This book would make a great gift for Christmas presents this year. Plus, DaySpring has partnered with Matthew and Jessica to produce a line of adorable products you can purchase in addition to the book. My favorite product was probably the encouragement cards, but my kids thought the puzzle and night light were the best. 🙂
You can get free shipping from DaySpring if you purchase $35 worth of God Made Light products and use coupon code SHIPLIGHT at checkout.
You can read more about the book, the message behind it, and see pictures of the inside of the book over on Jessica’s blog. Also, be sure to check out Matthew’s post on What Happens When 11 Publishers Say “No”.
To purchase a copy or read reviews from others, you can head over to Amazon here.

Our growing family would be blessed to be given a copy of this book to gift to our 4 children (6,2 1/2, 1 and one on the way) for Christmas. It looks like a beautiful book and we love books that incoorperate our faith and help us instill those truths. And what a great way to spread God’s light if we had it in our home to share not only with our children but with family and friends (big and small) who may not know of God’s love for them. We are a family committed to the Lord and would be truly blessed to receive this book and use it to glorify our Lord and savior Jesus Christ!
Erin says
I’d give this as a gift to my 3 year old and 1 year old from their little sister when she arrives in December! With it’s theme on creation this would be perfect as a gift from baby as they always say, “God made the baby in momma’s belly”. I am trying to incorporate more faith based books into our home library, however buying books is not always in the budget, and this would be a perfect addition for the three of them to share together. Thanks for posting about this adorable faith centered book!

Andrea says
I can’t wait to read this book to my children… We have recently moved and while we understand that God has called us here, our children could use a little encouragement and reminding that God has a plan for them and where He has each one of them too! We encourage them to seek Him but shy little personalities sometimes seem overwhelmed in such a big school system, new church and away from familiar faces…

I would give this to my sweet little 6 yr old friend, Miles. His little sister went to heaven when she was 2 days old. Just this week he told his mom he was going to wear his “sister’s shirt (a shirt his parent’s had made when they ran the 5k in her memory a while back) and white pants. “That way I’ll be an angel on Halloween and not anything of Satan!” The he proceeded to tell his mom how they should take a field trip to somewhere very light and bright to celebrate how God called us out of the darkness and into His wonderful light (his older brother & sister had been memorizing that verse)!

Kristin says
My kids of course!
Sarah Bedgood says
This would be perfect for my 3 year old nephew Isaac! His mom and dad are missionaries for Wycliffe Bible Translators and are moving to Congo, Africa permanently in January. He loves to share the love of God with everyone he meets, and this will encourage him even more as he heads to his new home.
