5.0 out of 5 stars Explains life after death from a christian worldview., June 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: What Happens When We Die (Childrens Bible Basics) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent resource for individuals looking to explain to youngsters about death, and life after death, from a Christian and biblical perspective. It helps to provide easy to understand answers of hard questions that children (and adults) may wonder about. We have a close friend of the family dying of cancer and this book has been invaluable in making the process of explaining to my children the concepts of death, burial, resurrection of the soul, and heaven much easier. The illustrations are very effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tough subject, lots of content, January 9, 2007

By 

Louise "CD" (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What Happens When We Die (Childrens Bible Basics) (Hardcover)

I never even used this book because Water Bugs and Dragonflies was such a great one. This book is better for the elementary-aged child and above. Don't be shy about skipping a page if you feel it's too much information for your child.

4.0 out of 5 stars Peaceful Advice, April 30, 2005

This review is from: What Happens When We Die (Childrens Bible Basics) (Hardcover)

I thought this was a good book for children to help them better understand the cycle of life and the process of life and death. It is written from the Christian view point and offers a clear understanding to the many questions children often ask about this difficult subject. It also gives the reader both simple and peaceful advice to help children better understand the teachings of the Bible.

Do yourself a favor and disregard reviewer WES. This guy is a devout atheist who in his own sick hypocritical way is no different then a religious nut job trying to convert the world over. The only difference between WES and them is that WES, in his own pathetic little way, is trying his very best to convert everyone over to his thumb sucking "atheist club". For someone who is so steadfast in knocking down a belief in God he sure spends a lot of time reading various Christen writings and writing reviews about it (see his other reviews). Why waste your time reading and writing about something that doesn't exist? Instead of reading about how a Christen views life WES, perhaps you should get one. Anyone truly secure in their own beliefs isn't compelled to continually belittle another's beliefs. Maybe you should try a few good books dealing with paranoia, and how it relates with your obvious sexual insecurities and inadequacies based on some of your other reviews.
