5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, this is something great for my kids!, February 6, 2003

This review is from: Herein Is Love, Vol. 1: Genesis (Paperback)

Actual title Herein is Love: Genesis
This set of Old Testament 'commentaries' for children is going to take the world by storm once the word gets out. Nancy Ganz has taken the details of Gods great work of creation and redeeming a people for himself and told it in a way that is engrossing for kids (and adults). We use it for family devotions; we're up to "lesson" 46 in Genesis. It doesn't dumb anything down or just make it a bunch of unconnected Bible stories. Like the title says the emphasis is showing Gods great love in all he does. The books are so creative; check out Noahs 'journal' while on the ark (yes, she puts in appropriate disclaimers. Nancy Ganz doesn't make things up, (she holds Gods word in such high regard it comes through on every page) she applies a magnifying glass to the text that showed my wife and I things we'd never noticed before. What a wonderful and exciting treat. Get these books, they are the next classic in childrens Bible literature. I don't even have time to talk about the full teaching guide at the back of each book: suggestions for visual aids, memory work, review questions, songs to sing, outdoor activities all on lightly tinted pages to stand out from the rest of the book. This stuff is great!

This review is from: Herein Is Love, Vol. 1: Genesis (Paperback)

We've used Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus for our family devotions and haven't found anything better over the years.

I would like to note that the book bridges the ages. By that I mean, my husband and I are challenged, as well as our four children, aged 1-7.

I wrote more about how we use the books here:

5.0 out of 5 stars Very insightful/Kid Friendly/Engaging, February 27, 2008

This review is from: Herein Is Love, Vol. 1: Genesis (Paperback)

My children(12 and 8)and I homeschool, and we have been reading through the Genesis commentary for this whole school year so far (it is almost March, and we are almost through it) It has been really wonderful. Mrs. Ganz adds so much more insight than I could have done on my own, and she writes in such an engaging way that it really keeps my kids' attention. But more importantly than what I have to say is what my children have said in regard to these books: "Oh, don't stop reading yet - I want to know what happens!" "There's an Exodus book, too?! Cool!"(upon learning that we were almost finished with Genesis and I had ordered the Exodus commentary), "Mom, you have to get ALL of these books - they're REALLY good!"(upon learning that there is also one for Leviticus and Numbers). So, as you can see, our family highly recommend these books! They are well worth the price.
