I’m celebrating with Jessica and Matthew Paul Turner today because their beautiful children’s book has been picked up by a publisher!
They poured years into this project, they got turned down by 11 different publishers, but not ones to be deterred, they decided to self-publish it and funded it with a significant portion of their savings.
I’m thrilled for them, because since the book has done so well in the market, a publisher picked it up and gave them a 2-book deal for this book plus another children’s book.
God Made Light 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.
This beautiful and so meaningful. The pictures are very well done and its rhyming lyrics make it so fun to read!
The original, self-published version of the book is only available while supplies — and they’ve lowered the price to just $10 per book on Amazon. Go read more about it here.

We love this book and we highly recommend it! I snagged two copies during the holidays…one for our 6 year old daughter and another for her Kindergarten classroom as a present for her class at her Christian School! Can’t wait to see their next books! So very exciting!

Thanks for sharing! I’m always on the lookout for meaningful books with great artwork to help my 4 year old learn more respect for books- he EATS them!
