As a Little Child


 

As a Little Child : Come Into the Agape Boat

GENRE:   Christian Children's

BLURB:

 

I was inspired by Jesus to write this book. In combining nature  and the sacred word of the Bible, my intention is to take the reader into a place of contemplation of the wonderful things God has created for the care, nourishment, and enjoyment of His creation, especially humanity. This book's central theme is the character of love of our heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Furthermore, this book is an introduction to young children to the knowledge of the God of the Bible, who is unknown to most of the Christian circle and the world at large. God is the source of Agape and He is inviting all to receive Agape from Him through His Son Jesus.

My Review


I decided to check some of the scripture references given in the book, and the ones I looked at matched the book text very well. As a Christian myself it pleases me for authors to write Christian books for children. However, it seemed to me that the language in the book could have been clearer. Also, I'm not sure why an author who is writing Christian literature would speak of Jewish festivals as a source of the spirit of Jesus. The Jewish people do not believe that Jesus was their Messiah. Lastly, I've never heard of the trinity being spoke of as celestial, divine bodies. Parents, the author does make some good points. I'd suggest you read the book and be ready to explain parts of the story in the child's vernacular.

    1. The good thing about this book is that it is not just for children also adults can gain some insights about God and His love for humanity. The natural environment is the place we can allow ourselves to be open to hear God's voice calling us to let Him in our heart!
