MY REVIEW:

 This is one of the most amazing books for children about the Bible and God I've ever seen! I would have loved to have had this for my children  - especially as we homeschooled! This book is designed for the 7-12 year old and it's just perfect for teaching your children all about God! It answers so many questions your children may have and perfectly puts the "puzzle" of knowing who He is together for them.

This book includes 36 lessons which include "Get the Facts". These are the Scriptures or thoughts to connect up what the lesson is about. There are fill-in-the blank questions questions to discuss with your children and more! It also teaches your child how to study the Bible, which is great! I especially loved how colorful this book is as I know this helped to keep my children's attention when they were that age. I also liked how it wasn't the same from week to week. There's nothing about it that is boring and it will help your child to learn about God in a fun way - which is how it should be!

Not only would I recommend this for homeschoolers, but I could definitely see this book working perfectly for Sunday school classes at church. The point is to teach our children about the Lord in a way that they understand and this book is perfect! I have never seen a book this interesting and engaging that also really teaches about God! By the time you're done with the 36 lessons, your child truly will have a great understanding of God and the Bible.

I highly recommend this book! If you're a homeschooler teaching a Bible class as part of your curriculum and, you have a child that is between 7-12 years old, this really is a must have! You'll be amazed at all you learn right along with your child - this book is that good!
