Customer Reviews

Touching & Thought-provoking

I thoroughly enjoyed this short masterpiece. I have purchased two more copies for my friends. I had no idea how blessed and challenged I would be by this small, but delightful read. I am very thankful for the way the book was written, as well as the delightful artwork. What a wonderful message! My children are 17 and 18 and I plan to read the book to them. The message is so simple, but yet profound. I will be eternally grateful that I was able to read this book and have it touch the depths of my heart the way that it has. It is indeed a story about love-an eternal love. Thank you!

Incredibly Creative

Pageland is one of the most creative little books you'll ever read. In a most delightful way, it uses the characters in a book as an analogy to us as God's creation, and it does it with elegance, grace, humor, and style. Never is it syrupy, nor does it beat you over the head with it's "deeper meanings." It simply lets you enjoy the story. It's regrettable that one reviewer gave it only two stars, simply on the basis that it's not the kind of book he expected--as if not being in a genre he likes to read makes it a bad book. In its own genre, it is a masterpiece. It's ostensibly written for children, and I know children will eat it up. But like Lewis's Narnia, adults will love it as well, not only for its profound and perceptive message, but simply for the sheer delight it brings. --Thomas Williams, author of The Heart of the Chronicles of Narnia

A clever new way to tell an old, familiar story

PageLand first grabbed my attention because of it's humourously drawn cover art. With its quirky illustrations, this book "about love and sharing and working together" makes the Gospel story come alive in a fresh and creative way. A fun read for anyone, it is an even better tool for presenting Christian truth to those who are either unfamiliar with it or even overly familiar with it. PageLand offers a depth of insight that is challenging for adults and children alike. It is written with a sort of simplicity appropriate for children, yet its message is so timeless and its situations so truly deep that even adult readers are bound to appreciate it. A short, but pleasurable read, it succeeds in being one of those rare, simple, profound, enjoyable books for readers of all ages.

Wow - don't miss this!

I just read this little gem of a book. I'm speechless! This doesn't happen often. . . Okay, I'm recovering, so now I'll tell you what I think about it.PageLand is a new, tremendously creative way to tell an old, old story. Almost anyone could relate to this book - old or young. I also think that anyone who loves books and the whole experience of turning a page, reading the words, gazing at the pictures, thinking about the characters would especially find this book thought-provoking and profound.Just do it - read it!

Thought Provoking

This book could be read to children but I feel it is written more with adults in mind. The text makes you reexamine exactly what you are doing on this earth and why. It would make a great gift for someone who is searching for answers.
