Peace, Beauty and Joy, Come to the Paradise! is a work of Christian writing which shares stories from real life and imaginary creations, penned by author Serena Bella. It also features illustrations by Stefan R Sanford. All centered around the theme of the lessons taught by God and the ideals of hope, faith, and love, these stories are intended to inspire readers and uplift them through Christian messages. Some of the works encourage readers to imagine along with the writer, transporting them to faraway images of the beauty of nature, and into a world which is safe, unlike the modern trials and tribulations of the real world today.

The spiritual nature of the book is evident on every page, whether it be through reflections of personal experience, imaginings of paradise and the beauty which God offers, or in the powerful imagery which is both drawn by the illustrator and described by the author at various points. Stefan R Sanford presents vivid illustrations that accompany author Serena Bella’s words perfectly, bringing the world into brighter colors than reality so that we may more fully appreciate them. The Christian message is strong, filled with God’s lessons but not in a specifically biblical way, which makes the work very readable and easy to understand. I might have liked a little more clarity on how the journey itself comes about in places, but overall, Peace, Beauty and Joy, Come to the Paradise! is an inspiring work which will surely bring comfort and joy to many Christians who turn to it for support.

Peace, Beauty and Joy, Come to the Paradise! by Serena Bella is full of heavenly treasures backed by beautiful and profound Bible verses.

The book is divided into four sections, each containing different aspects of the author’s life and her relationship with her savior, Jesus.

In each section, the author explores personal messages, dreams, and images she has experienced from God. Each page is full of color and the details are interpreted by verses that relate to each section.

The color-filled images created by Stefan R. Sanford provide a better glimpse into the author's dreams and visions. They help build imagination and they complement the text effectively.
