Book Reviews of My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God's Word in Little Hearts

Book Review: Good structure and verses, stories are hit and miss
Summary: 3 Stars

I wanted to give this book 5 stars (or 4 - if there were 3.75 I'd do that). It is a good book. The ABC pattern for the verses is nice. The setup is easy and good - say the verse, story, repeat the verse, a few questions, review verses from before.

Onto my dislikes:

A lot of the stories have quite stilted conversations.

There is one about behaving well that involves the kids contrasting themselves being good and behaving well at the store because they love Jesus with this other bad little girl.

The stories are about kids who are comfortably wealthy, go to church every Sunday, and are good little kids. I suppose they reflect my suburban Christian childhood. But there is an air of judgementalism (like in the story I mentioned) that comes out sometimes that just doesn't sit well with me. There isn't anything WRONG with the stories and they don't actually judge or say mean things, but it's an implied judgement I guess.

My kids enjoy this, they learn the verses very quickly, they like the stories (they are 2 and 4 years old). I like it a lot too, but I do end up feeling a need to do extra explaining and/or changing some wording to make the stories less judgemental and more about learning the good news of the scripture itself.

It's a great book, I recommend it, but it also is not something that would work well in a preschool/young child group where not all kids are "church" families.

Summary of My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God's Word in Little Hearts

Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee. ?Psalm 119:11

Knowing the Bible can help you know God better. Here is a colorful, story-filled way for even the youngest child to take God's Word to heart?and learn the alphabet too!

Presented in an easy-to-use story format that applies individual Bible verses to real-life situations, this illustrated book for 3- to 7-year-olds is perfect for reading to your children or grandchildren, and great for use in churches, Christian schools, Bible clubs, or home schools. It can also be easily adapted for family devotions with young children.

The ABCs are building blocks to your child's formal education. And these verses are the building blocks of the soul?the building blocks that can lead to eternal life.
