Loved this book as a child

For years, I’ve been trying to find the book my mom read to me as a child and finally found it! She would read us a story every night from this book, and my sisters and I LOVED it. I just had twin girls a few months ago and can’t wait to read this boom to them and share those sweet moments.

Great for young children

My parents read this same book to me and my sisters when we were children (the 1970's version). I bought it for my boys who are 5 and 3. We read one story every night at dinner and discuss the questions at the end. It has wonderful everyday life circumstances that they can relate to. They actually remind me on the nights I forget. I never thought I would hear my children say "Mom, can we do our bible lesson". I recommend this book to anyone with children!!!

Since I was a child

I'm 34 years old. This book was given to me when I was 8. It served as the backstop against all of the angst, fear, anger and confusion of pre-pubescent existence. When "bobby" threw a rock at me, I turned to this book. When "jenny" didn't return my affection, I turned to this book. When "Joey" violated my trust, I turned to this book. Nothing can bridge the gap between the teachings of Jesus and the adolocent existence. My dear people, if you do anything for you youth, do buy this book. Give it to them. And let them use it as they will - with God's help. Surely, you will benefit.

Engage Your Children During Family Devotions

This is a wonderful tool for parents who are trying to find a way to reach their children during family devotions. Each story begins with a theme Bible verse, and then presents a story involving children and their parents related to the Bible passage. Afterward, there is a series of questions so that you can discuss the story with your children. For older children there is an extended Bible reading listed. Finally there is a concluding prayer.Not only will this help involve your children in family devotions, but the questions also help to develop listening skills. These benefits flow into church on Sunday morning. I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to involve their children in family devotions.

Little visits and More little visits with God

When my boys were young and My wife and I were newly born Christians, we purchased these two books. They were loved by our children more than anything else we provided for their Christian growth. Those two books have since disappeared from my library and I am so glad to have found one and I will keep looking for the other. I want them for my Grandchildren and friends. I want them for myself as well! I have never found another pair of books with a short story and devotional thought for each day that fits in so well with a childs everyday living and learning experience. Everyone can relate to each story. Excellent.

Great for reading to the kids at supper time.

This little jewel is a classic. It makes it easy for children up to about age 11 or so to learn moral truths to live by. We like to read it at supper time when the children first start to eat. It is quite at our table then and the reading is less likely to be interrupted. It is amazing to see them respond to the questions after the reading. Even our little 4 year old gets "the moral of the story." I am going to go broke buying this book for our friends.
