God is Everywhere - Even In Nursery Rhymes! James F Malerba

Nursery rhymes have been read to young children for centuries, and as adults, those same children have later passed them along to their own little ones. They are an important part of our life for their simplicity and joy of learning.

This book, "God is Everywhere -- Even In Nursery Rhymes!", takes a different approach, in that all rhymes are followed by commentaries that delve into how God's presence can be seen in each one. Thus, children can enjoy having the rhymes read to them, and adults can see the underlying meanings in each rhymes presented that demonstrate God's presence.

Extensive research in the Bible and several other sources resulted in the detailed comments following every rhyme. All biblical references are stated within each commentary, so the adult reader can go to those passages and see the direct connection between them and the words in the nursery rhymes.

At the end of the work, there are extensive references to ashes and blindness, two themes recurring in some of the rhymes.

This book is intended for both children's enjoyment and enhancement of adult's spiritual knowledge and is presented in everyday language for both audiences.
