Judge Of Books God Went to Beauty School

What's not to like? Uncomplicated poems that link together a story of a God who is all too human. Cynthia Rylant brings to life a God that had always lived in my head. A God who tries human activities, has a sense of humor and an interest in what he has created. Is it theologically correct? Mostly not. But that is what's so fun about it. My two favorites are the title poem, 'God Went to Beauty School' and, 'God Went to India.' I Love it. And if you don't, that's okay. But Cynthia Rylant is a

i was left feeling a little uncomfortable, but Idon't know why. yet.i re-read some and felt good about a lot of it, soit evened out i guess.my favorite from the book: GOD CLIMBED A MOUNTAIN And not just any mountain. Mount Everest. And you know why? BECAUSE IT WAS THERE. He was tired of hearing about it - He decided just to go do it. And He did. It was terrible. It was awful. He'd never been so cold. He'd never been so tired. He hated snow. And it was like that all the way to the top. Then at

God decided to see what it was like to live as his creation, so he went to beauty school but discovered that really, he liked hands best so he decided to open a nail salon. God also orders a couch, gets cable, adopts a stray dog, and does many other normal things, but not so normal for the creator of the Universe. This slim volume exploring Gods celebration of humanity will make you smile, chuckle, and even swipe at an occasional tear. Not didactic, blasphemous, or preachy. Just good, creative

I just read this book last night in about 15 minutes. Other than the fact that many of the things about God are not quite right (but many are), it's a super cute read. It's in free verse poetry format and has a great flow. I would love to use it in my classroom but I'm not sure that the content is kosher (if you will) for 8th and 9th grades in a Mormon-dominated community. If any of you read it, let me know what you think about that. It's really a delightful little read.

I read this in one sitting last night. I really enjoyed it. I found it funny and thought-provoking. I will read it again more slowly before I have to return it to the library and will most likely pick up my own copy. In the past, I have been exposed to Rylant's work for younger children such as the Henry and Mudge books and one of my all-time favorites The Bookshop Dog. I am looking forward to exploring more of her books for older readers. I think that this book would make a great discussion

As I was reading this book, I could tell that it was leading somewhere. There's alot of metaphors written about that really helps you understand what Cynthia Rylant is trying to say. By the time I finished this book, which didn't take too long considering it was a quick read, I was in tears. It really touched my heart and soul. It helped me grasp the idea that what God did, changed it all. Throughout this entire book, it's telling us of all the things that God did...as metaphors. Like going to

I really enjoyed this. It's light & yet thought-provoking at the same time. Read it slow to let each poem settle into your unconscious. It made me appreciate the "little things in life".
