The book itself was not a bad book. It covered the topic of heaven and hell thoroughly, however, as for it being a children’s book, it was a little too long, and a little too dense. For this alone I would rate it 4 out of 5. I didn’t notice any grammatical errors or misspellings while reading. The book did, however, come across as redundant. The book is predominantly written from the prospective of a younger child, and although that’s an appealing idea when reading to other young children, she didn’t come across as young as the book would make her seem.
The Biblical references are accurate and the Bible verses that are mentioned do apply to the content in the book. Without giving away the content in the book, there is a chapter that I’m not entirely comfortable with. It’s not that its poorly written, but I feel as though it may be slightly more excessive than necessary or perhaps not age appropriate for the target audience of the book. If this book were intended for a more mature audience, I think the content in said chapter would make more sense or be more appropriate but as the perspective is from a younger child, to a young audience I feel it could have been presented differently.
Overall, I feel the book was well written, if not a little redundant. It could have been condensed some, which would hold a child’s attention better. I completely and utterly respect the author’s conviction and writing about Biblical concepts and introducing them to children. There are not enough books aimed to children that discuss or explain Biblical concepts, and this book does do a good job with that. I look forward to what other concepts these authors tackle in regards to the Bible for children. As long as they stay Biblically accurate, I feel these authors will make a good resource for Biblical explanation to a young audience.
