Book Overview
Summary
- Author: Paul T. Barham
- Publisher: Doxa Theos Ministries (2026)
The story follows a curious young lamb named Tammy Lamb, who sets out on a quest to find God. She uses a yellow telescope to look into the sky and peeks under fences and near haystacks, wondering if God is hiding like a toy playing a game.
Seeking answers, Tammy runs to her Mama and asks if it is possible to see God with her eyes. Mama Lamb gently explains that while some of the greatest things cannot be seen directly, they are still real. To help Tammy understand, Mama uses real-world examples:
Key Themes
- The Wind: You cannot see the wind, but you feel it on your fleece and see it lift a kite into the sky.
- Sunlight: You cannot physically hold a ray of sunshine, but you feel its warmth.
- Love: You cannot box or wrap a thought of love, but you feel it in your heart.
- Music: You cannot grab a bird’s song out of the air, but you can hear its sweet melody.
- Fragrance: You cannot see the scent of a rose, but it fills the air.
Mama explains that God is just like these invisible wonder—everywhere around us, loving everyone, and felt rather than physically seen.
By the end of the day, as Tammy is tucked cozy into the barn for bedtime, she comes to understand that she doesn’t need to physically see God. Resting peacefully, she falls asleep knowing that God’s love and presence are always right beside her.
- Faith & Perception: Understanding spiritual concepts through real-world, everyday sensory experiences.
- Parental Guidance: A gentle, comforting mother helping her child navigate big questions.
- Peace & Security: Finding comfort in knowing love and protection are always present, even when unseen.
