Something you don't see every day

So Nathan was reading one of his early-reader books, "Tiny the Snow Dog," and I happened to notice the illustrator's dedication:

To the One who loves all the children

of the world--Jesus Christ,

my Redeemer.

Huh.  Never seen anything quite like that before.  Curious, I pulled out a few other books in the series (Nathan adores all of them) and found other interesting dedicationsby the illustrator, Rich Davis:

In "When Tiny Was Tiny" it reads:

To my beautiful mom who nurtured

my creative gift since birth and who

prayed me into God's kingdom.  I love you!

From "Tiny's Bath":

To my ninety-five-year-old grandmother,

Gaga, who showed me how to love laughter,

a good story, and God.  I love you.

In "Tiny Goes to the Library",

To Angie, my wife and best friend:

I'm so glad God brought us together

to make a home.  I love you!

How often do you see dedications like those?  BTW, the books are all super cute.
