Wonderful Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: When Children ask about God: A Guide for Parents Who Don't Always Have All the Answers (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book. It gives very useful advise to parents who are asked questions about God. The book addresses the easy questions. If you want to be able to answer the hard questions I would suggest you get a copy of An Encounter With A Prophet

Excellent for parents & even adults with ?s about God,
By A Customer
This review is from: When Children ask about God: A Guide for Parents Who Don't Always Have All the Answers (Paperback)
I was taken by surprise when my 3 1/2 year old asked me what God looked like. I thought I'd have another year or two before encountering these tough questions.
I quickly went to the library and got all the books on explaining God to young children. Most books assumed I wanted traditional explainations from mainline religions.
This book actually got me thinking about my own concept of God and where I got it from. I'd recommend this even to people without children.
(Oh, it did help me in a continuing dialoge about God with my 3 1/2 year old

supurb analysis of common theological questions,
By A Customer
This review is from: When Children ask about God: A Guide for Parents Who Don't Always Have All the Answers (Paperback)
This is a supurb discussion of the questions that confront not only chidren, but adults bearing the burden of orthodox creeds. Don't be fooled by the title-this discussion is helpful to all of us who are young, either in chronological age or theological perspective
