As a result we also bought a few more books as gifts to our children for their families. I also bought one for my niece who is recovering from cancer. We have bcome fans of Akiane and will follow her career. We talk about Akiane whenever we have an opportunity.
I recommend this book for the dramatic way that God has chosen to reveal himself to us through this little girl, her faith and her amazing gifts. This book bolsters ones faith and provides hope. Recommended for all ages. This is a wonderful book to have. The book is about Akiane's story, some of her paintings and poems, told by her mother. This young girl is blessed with an amazing gift from God. She grew up in an atheist home and was not exposed to any religion or art.
Akiana was homeschooled too. She told her parent that she had met God and Jesus. She was only 4 years old. This gifted girl paints her dreams and what she sees in her visions. I loved it, hope you will too and pass in on. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned.
This is my favorite book of all the Christian books I have purchased and or read. I have actually purchased eleven copies of this book, only keeping two which are both loaned out at present It is a good conversation peace to take with for appointments, ect.
I never tire looking at Akiane's poetry and paintings How can anyone read this and not believe! I am now writing spiritual poetry While visiting Iowa, I saw this book in a museum with a display of the artist's work. I left without buying the book and had regretted it ever since. Feb 10, Morgan Monty rated it it was amazing. Personal Response: I personally loved this book. It was such an inspiring story to build my faith. It showed some of the amazing works of God and what he can do in ordinary people's lives.
Their life changes so drastically in such small periods of time; but during this time the family of Akiane drastically changed their beliefs and their overall way of life. I loved reading this amazing story about a prodigy that didn't necessarily want to be one. Plot Summary: This story was made to inspire others through the amazing life of Akiane. She is an artist that is self taught, or in other words "is taught by God.
She tells her parents that she has seen images and has had dreams of God. He is teaching her art in these dreams so she can paint and write what she sees when she is with Him to spread the word of heaven and the world that He has made.
Akiane's family were not religious whatsoever so they were very confused when Akiane had said that she has witnessed God and was in his presence. They were confused because they had never mentioned any type of religion to her and Akiane was homeschooled so she wouldn't have ever heard about this from any of her teachers or peers.
However, Akiane did not stop when her parents had confronted her about her dreams. She specifically was told that she had a mission to fulfill in her lifetime and she was determined to achieve this goal.
Akiane started drawing and painting when she was just 4 years old and it was rough at first during the learning process but by age 5 she was drawing and painting almost as good as a professional. She drew and painted images of her surroundings, people and their perspectives, and even herself through self-portraits.
She had also started to write very sophisticated poems in languages such as Lithuanian, English, and sometimes Russian; knowing nothing about what they meant or about how to translate them. It was like God was directly speaking through her during these times of intense writing and painting. Akiane's family had struggled through this time of making ends meet so they had to move across the country multiple times to get new jobs.
However, this did not affect Akiane's paintings and writing. Wherever they went in the country, she would always seem to find more and more inspiration for new ideas of what to paint or what to write about. She was sponsored by many people and has attended many art museums where they have shown multiple works. She attended art conferences and conventions where elderly, adults, and even children would come and see Akiane. She will be known as one of the most incredible child prodigies of all time.
Characterization: There are two main characters in this story. These are Akiane and her mother. Akiane is a little girl who has dreams of God and painting. In her dreams God is teaching her how to paint and how to draw. At this time her parents did not agree nor believed what Akiane was telling them because they are an atheist family.
This however, did not affect Akiane and her paintings. At the age of 4 years old, she began to draw and paint spectacular things. Some of these images were clearly portraits of people and others were beautiful areas.
As she grew older she became more and more talented in art. She drew two portraits of God himself that was very detailed, while only being in elementary school! She is known to be one of the greatest child prodigies. Akiane's mother was very supportive of Akiane and would do whatever she needed in order for Akiane to be successful. This caused multiple problems with finances in their home due to costs on painting supplies and homeschooling for Akiane.
Akiane's mother had devoted most of her life to the successes of Akiane's writing, painting, and drawing. She helped find managers and companies that wanted to sponsor Akiane. She is truly an incredible woman. Recommendation: I recommend this story to not just people that are religious, but to everyone that would like to be inspired.
Akiane's journey was not always easy but she kept fighting through each and every hardship that had come her way. This is truly inspiring, especially hearing such maturity come from such a young child. I gave this story five out of five stars due to how interesting the story of her life is and just the amount of belief that she had carried with her throughout her life, even if someone had told her differently.
I highly recommend this story. Apr 26, Courtney Frazier rated it it was amazing. This book was another touching story about a child who's had experiences with the Lord and Heaven. A great selection to read following the book "Heaven is for Real. View 1 comment. Sep 02, Charlie rated it it was amazing. I haven't read it properly yet, just looked at the pictures.
But wow!! Just looking at the pictures is such an inspiration. I've read some reviews that say they don't believe that Akaine really painted the paintings herself, but, being a Catholic, I believe that she really was taught by God and that she did paint those paintings herself. Even if your not a Christian, I encourage you to read this book : I haven't read it properly yet, just looked at the pictures. Even if your not a Christian, I encourage you to read this book May 31, Ron rated it it was ok Shelves: memoir , biography.
This book is purported to be by Akiane Kramarik; it's written by her mother Foreli. And what she revealed of herself was not very attractive. Someone in that family is--or tries to be--a master of self-promotion. I like Akiane's paintings.
They have a boldness and simplicity which more polished art often lacks. Her poetry is completely opaque to me. Not a good read, but perhaps good to look at.

Though I feel that her talent comes more from hard work and a keen sense of beauty more than it has to do with anything inexplicable. It is true she were able to draw exceptionally well at a very young age but there seemed to be a process to her art that is, it gradually got better and got even better as she grew I remember seeing a documentary or some kind of show perhaps about this girl a long time ago, and was interested to read the book as a result.
It is true she were able to draw exceptionally well at a very young age but there seemed to be a process to her art that is, it gradually got better and got even better as she grew older.
And that makes it even more impressive in my opinion, for a child to have such an intense passion and preserve at it than the prodigy label, even if the latter suited her as well. So it was nice to read about her. So perhaps the first part is not my favorite. I mostly just loved the art and artist statement excerpts. Mar 15, Joseph rated it it was amazing.
My favourite artist is not a piano player but rather a painter of realism paintings. I'm referring to Akiane Kramarik. I enjoy playing to a painting, trying to discover what story the painting tells but painting in another way - the way that I know how - with contemporary piano tones. I would never dare call myself a painter but I do consider myself a piano artist. Some days I simply put up this book on my piano stand and play whatever feels right for the painting.
Finding the right artist that My favourite artist is not a piano player but rather a painter of realism paintings. Finding the right artist that inspired me took some time but when I came across Akiane's artwork, I knew my search was over.
