This review is from: Secrets of the Vine for Little Ones (Board book)

Secrets of the Vine for Little Ones is a precious little book. We bought it for our daughter when she was five months old. Hey, it's never too early to start laying the foundation!

The book is constructed of study board pages - they have held up very well to six months from our baby. The artwork is superb - every page seems captivating for our baby. The simplification of Wilkinson's "Secrets of the Vine" is masterfully accomplished - every line rhymes. The first page of text gives the reader the New King James Version of John 15:1-2, 5, 8, and 16.

The thing I like best about this book is that every time I read it to my little girl I get a refresher of the Secrets of the Vine myself. It is a wonderful reminder to me that I am to bear fruit for God's glory - I hope and pray that my daughter will be a part of that harvest.

I heartily recommend Secrets of the Vine for Little Ones!

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets of the Vine for Kids - Recommended!, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Secrets of the Vine for Kids (Hardcover)

For the longest time I tried to find a book that would allow my young daughter and I to have meaningful devotional time understanding the application of Jesus' teachings in our lives today. This book helped me to accomplish that.

This book stressed how important it is that we stay connected with the creator and bear fruit in our lives for the glory of God. It lets us know that we have a purpose and mission-driven life to live. It spoke in practical terms with regard to John 15. The language used captured my daughter's attention and had her asking me to keeping reading. I have now purchased the devotional and will also look into The Prayer of Jabez for her.

At the age of eight, she is so ready for more than bible stories at bed time and me fumbling through life explainations as best I can. Thanks, Mr. Wilkinson for helping me have a guide for how to move forward in her growth. I found this little book to be truly biblically based and a blessing.

This review is from: Secrets of the Vine for Kids (Hardcover)

"Secrets of the Vine for Kids" is basically the adult version tailored for young readers. The book is about 100 pages and contains 9 chapters with the following titles:

1. Get Closer
2. What Does It Mean?
3. When We Blow It
4. Love Can Get Tough
5. Shear Madness?
6. "Grape" Expectations!
7. Hang On!
8. The Best Friend
9. Humongous Harvest!

The reading is easy and each chapter can be read in about 10 minutes. The book's theme is that we can be fruitful only through God (John 15).

You will thoroughly enjoy reading this with your child (I would say the age range would be around ages 7 to 13, give or take a couple of years).

Highly recommended. Enjoy!
