I received a copy of THE BIBLE
AND ME: STORIES WITH A MESSAGE TO LIVE BY by Lois Rock from Lion Hudson via
Kregel in exchange for an honest review.
This hardcover book is beautifully illustrated by Alida Massari.
I read this children’s’ book a
little differently than previous books.
Normally, I read them and think about my days in college learning to be
an elementary teacher. I think about the
kids I taught and the kids I know through family. This time, however, I thought about my
soon-to-be-born baby (although this is geared more towards children than
babies). This is definitely a book I
want to keep so that someday he can cherish it.
It is a hardcover, so it is perfect for treasuring for years to come.
The illustrations accompany child-appropriate
retellings of well-known Bible stories. I
can see a parent reading this to his or her child, and having the shortened
version expanded into a conversation. I
can also see the parent starting a conversation from these stories on how to be
a better person and how to seek greater fulfillment from each day.
I highly recommend this as an
addition to any children’s home library and as a great gift.
