great edition

Excellent condition and exactly what we were searching for , for our great grandchildren.

Full of the WONDER of the Lord!

I am so impressed with this children's devotional! The language is written to capture a child's attention and hold it. The power and wonder of God is displayed and portrayed throughout the entire book, in every lesson. It is easy for a young child to understand, and deep and meaningful enough to inspire thought in an older child. We are halfway through and will be repeating it again after we are finished. It begins with Part One: Looking for God, and Part Two: God is Very Great. Each "part" consists of about 5-8 individual lessons on the subject, using people from the Bible to learn from, in how God uses them. Then we are taken through the introduction of sin, God's law, what Jesus did for us, prayer, and several others, ending with Part Fourteen: Things That Are to Happen. Each lesson includes "something to talk about" (questions for the children to answer about the lesson), a related Scripture from the Bible, suggested Bible reading, a hymn to sing that relates to the lesson, and a prayer to say, asking the Lord to help us with those things we learned that day in our lesson.Needless to point out here, I can't say enough about this devotional. It is a wonderful way to teach your children about God in a thorough and consistant way, and help them to love learning about the Lord and his nature, and what he does for his children. You'll love going through it with your little ones and watching their love and understanding for God grow.

Wonderful Devotional Activity

My boys, ages 5, 7 and 9, and I went through this book over the last year, with each son taking turns reading the associated scripture, reading or singing the hymn (we knew about 1/3 of them) or praying through the closing prayer. It really did cover the basics of the Christian faith and life in more depth than we would normally discuss. I consider this a classic and highly recommend it.

prized resource

I have used this to put together a Sunday School lesson at the last minute. Very conservative, traditional, fundamental view of doctrine. I love it. I am buying copies for all my nieces and nephews whose...parents don't know how to answer their questions about God.

An Excellent Book for Children

I had a hard time trying to find a book that could easily communicate, in a child's language, the truths about God and the bible. As a parent, sometimes it's difficult to explain to a small child what we already know. This book does an exceptional job explaining different truths in each story. My children loved hearing the stories each night, and the simple questions at the end of each story stimulated their thinking. I read this book to them each night as they were toddlers and small children. Today, they are teenagers and have an excellent foundation with knowing right from wrong and biblical truths. I highly recommend this book to any parent who wants their child to know God.

Super!

As an introduction to basic Christian theology for children 8 to 12 years of age, this book is outstanding! For younger children, I recommend Marion's Big of Bible Stories, also written by Marion Schooland
