5.0 out of 5 stars Bless Me Indeed!, August 19, 2001

This review is from: The Prayer Of Jabez For Little Ones (Board book)

I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it. I'm teaching 2-5 yrs old during the summer in Sunday School and when I found this book, I knew this was it! I am actually ordering one for each member of my class because this is a prayer they can use their entire life. The person that gave this book a bad review needs to read the original Prayer of Jabez. There are blessings for us, if we just ask and I don't want to miss out on one! It explains it in terms that little ones can understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, August 12, 2001

This review is from: The Prayer Of Jabez For Little Ones (Board book)

We live in a world where children are often powerless, and it is so important to teach them that God loves them and wants to bless them. The prayer of Jabez isn't about selfishness, it's about recognizing that everything comes from God, and submitting oneself to His leadership in order to prosper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children learn how God is with them in their daily lives!, August 4, 2001

By 

Julie G. (Marietta, Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Prayer Of Jabez For Little Ones (Board book)

This book has a straightforward approach in showing children, by example, how God can be with them in their daily lives. I really like the interaction of adding thought provoking questions for the children, which helps them internalize the love that God has for them. The pictures are creative and the thick cardboard pages make it easy for little children to grasp. I also hope that parents will get valuable insight from this message when they read this fulfilling book to their children!
