Book Review: 365 Bible Stories for Young Hearts

365 BIBLE STORIES FOR YOUNG HEARTS uses vocabulary that young children can understand without speaking down to them. The Stories are broken down into approximately one page per day. There are is a picture for almost every story/page. The pictures for the most part are realistic. This book is recommended for ages 5 and up, but I believe that it will effectively keep the attention of my almost-two-year-old, and definitely be appropriate for my three-year-old. Some of the things I liked about this book are that the story of the Fall of Man includes their punishment. The story of Cain and Abel explains that the reason for God's rejection of Cain's gift was his heart attitude. This book also includes passages from Leviticus about the rules the Israelites were to follow and their feasts that most books do not include. As I skimmed through this book (reading several of the passages, but not all), one thing I found that was not accurate was the picture of the empty tomb of Jesus that showed the grave clothes a mess like He was unwrapped instead of neat and untouched. Overall I was impressed with this book and am considering purchasing it to use with my children.
