5.0 out of 5 stars Full of the WONDER of the Lord!, January 3, 2003

By 

A. Anders "A.A." - See all my reviews

This review is from: Leading Little Ones to God (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book for Children, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading Little Ones to God (Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book to teach small children basic bible truths., January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading Little Ones to God (Paperback)

"Leading Little Ones to God" by Marian M. Schoolland is a tremendous book for teaching small children basic bible truths. It answers typical questions little children would ask about God, what God requires of us, how one gets to heaven, etc. This book is great for bedtime reading. Originally published in 1962, this is a timeless classic for children's books about the Bible.
