Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry

Beautiful illustrated book of Akianes' life story so far, (to age 10) a child with amazing talents in art and poetry. It gives a real insight to this very special child and her family. I couldn't put this book down

Akiane is quite simply a child who is inspired by God. From the earliest age she was intuitive and thoughtful; by the age of 4 she was having regular 'visions' directly from God which inspired her to draw and then paint the most incredible pictures and poetry. These artworks were as if the hand of God was painting and writing through her - like the prophets in the Bible, she painted what she saw and received from God.I found this book after buying 'Heaven is for Real' by Todd and Colton Burpo, in which a 4 year old boy visits heaven and meets Jesus in an authentic Near-Death experience. After his return, he was asked what Jesus looked like and shown many paintings of artists' impressions of Jesus. None were quite right - until he saw the painting of Jesus done by the 8 year old Akiane. "That's him!" - apparently it was an authentic likeness. Colton's book illustrations were painted from the child's descriptions, and the pictures of Jesus do look like Akiane's Jesus.I was intrigued, and searched out Akiane's website and this book, which has a copy of this and all her pictures. It is a haunting, riveting portrait with piercing eyes.I shared the two books and their amazing pictures with my 3 children. The 5 and 6 year olds were completely fascinated by all this, and wanted to look through both books over and over. They loved the idea that God could work with a child in this way 'as a team'. They also loved the stories behind the making of some of the paintings. It has several Jesus paintings in it, including 2 of him as a teenager consulting with God about the creation of the world (a must-see.) Akiane's book is not a children's book, it is for everybody, young and old alike. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking the truth about a personal relationship with Jesus/God, wanting to strengthen their faith, or anyone curious about how Jesus looks and thinks!

This young lady is the most gifted young person I have ever yet encountered, and I am 81 years of age.A truly magnificent Human who surly has the gift of the Gods! An amazing back story, with an amazing supportiveFamily. May the Good Lord forever watch over her.Thank youClifford F.

21Mar2021 You won't find any second-hand copies of this art book on any Website.!!! Everyone who buys this book keeps it as a permanent keepsake to show all their friends.Normally little American girls aged 8 usually dress up in their mummy's clothes etc or play with Barbie/Cindy dolls until they completely destroy them or lose interest or throw them in the trash can ...or beating up their younger siblings until bed time (with tears) or..... but this clever little Angellic girlie has painted something quiet remarkable on page 58 and page 59. Guess which ultra famous man from a famous book she painted in oils just a few years ago.? Truly outstanding talent after a miracle fall as a baby. Buy the book and as Monty Python said in the very naughty film "Life of Brian" - make your own mind up.My old friend from Capital Radio 95.8FM DJ Kenny Everett has seen this man in person.This artbook is deliberately linked to the hugely succcesful paperback book: Heaven is for real by Todd Burpo.

This book is a treasurable account of the accomplishments of an ‘ordinary’ girl who, from a very young age, is divinely inspired to paint and to write poetry. Her supreme achievement is, in my view, her painting of the face of Jesus Christ, which she titles ‘Prince of Peace.’ The book contains numerous prints of her pictures and her writings.
