Thank you for this review! The book is incredible for our six-year-old daughter but also for my wife and me. Our daughter absolutely loves it and we've read it to her cover-to-cover twice already in the two months we've owned it. It is both moving and profound. -steve www.resourcinglifechange.com

I am so happy you guys have written an article about this book. It is amazing. We love love love it!!! We read it to our 3 year old every night and she cannot wait to get to the next chapter. It is the best written Children's Bible I have ever read. And I have read a lot. If you have kids, get this book. We give it to all our friends with kids.
