Reviewed By Clint Walker
Sharon Garlough Brown has written a wonderful series of novels designed to explore women's spiritual formation in a fictional narrative. Now, she is writing a children's book, describing a grandmother and a grandchild who deal with big feelings through art and a deepening faith in the presence of a gracious God who is still at work in the world and in each of us.
Probably the best compliment I have as a "girl dad" after reading Not Finished Yet is that I wish it had been written when they were little enough to hear it and read it as little girls. It deals with real issues without being platitudinous.
The story in this short book flows well. Jessica Lynn Evans illustrates it well. The metaphor of God painting the universe and that he is not finished with his creation is thought-provoking and compelling for me, as I am sure it will be for others.
This is a great children's book on the shelf at a church, in a home with children, or in a library in the middle of town.
