Customer Reviews

A lot of good info! Too much religious talk. My child does not need to feel stupid for not believi

There are a lot of great suggestions in this book dealing with world perspective. As my fiance says 95% of this book is great. However 5% of this book is full of Christian propaganda. I hope every parent knows that their kid can learn and see the world honestly without being forced to believe in your religion. Case in point #567 "There is nothing like putting on a robe , picking up a cross, and marching down the aisle with an entire congregation watching to make an 8yr old take worship service seriously" Uh creepy anyone!? In other words there is nothing like forcing a kid to do something they do not want to in front of people they do not know for a purpose they do not fully understand. #573 " They need to ask the Holy Spirit for the words to say when talking to non believes" This may be the worst in the book. This teaches children to proselytize in school and with kids whose parents either taught them something different (not wrong) or for them to find their own beliefs when they are of the right age (not 8!). This notion is terrifying. I advise to just skip the section that teachers your kid to be close minded about faith because the rest of the book does the exact opposite.

LOVE IT!

This book has so many good points. If your kids take all of this to heart, they will do great!
