Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Author of Dear God: Children's Letters to God (Doubleday, 1987), Heller believes that the greatest gift a parent can give his or her child is "the gift of a soula set of values and understandings with which to view the world." In this sensitive, practical, nonsectarian guide, he suggests waysand wordsto make God a meaningful part of the family, enriching the lives of both parents and their children between the ages of four and 12. Among the issues discussed are encouraging a child's natural curiosity about God, knowing one's self spiritually, and discussing the nature and purpose of religion and God's role in the world. Finally, a special chapter on the interfaith family is included. A most worthwhile addition to public library collections. Marcia G. Fuchs, Guilford Free Lib., Ct.

This review is from: Talking to Your Child about God: A Book for Families (Mass Market Paperback)

I guess I should have known by the price but when I buy a new book, I expect a new book. The first non-amazon dealer sent me a filthy book, the second was at least clean and unworn but read in the packing slip notes it was from an estate sale. Shouldn't that be called like-new? New means from the book publisher, doesn't it? I can shop at half priced book stores and know what I am getting. I will be sticking with Amazon only sales going forward.
