Review: God's Promises for Boys


God's Promises for Boys By Jack Countryman & Amy Parker

God's Promises for Boys is a children's book directed to boys, hence the title, though my daughter  enjoyed it also. The appropriate age for this book would be anywhere between 4-8 years(depending on how mature your child is) This book has 127 pages of God's promises as found in the Bible. There are many different subjects that pertain to a young boys life. Each subject has several bible verses to implement that part of the book. There are also cute pictures throughout the book to peak your child's interest.

My son who is 5 has enjoyed looking through the pictures(he isn't a reader yet). I have been reading to him and he doesn't seem too interested in what I am reading. On the other hand when his sister read this to him they sat on the couch soaking everything in for about 45 minutes. I like the strong scriptural references in this book. They show how the Bible has answers and solutions to every day life. Even for a little boy! The only frustration I have with this book is that the translation of the Bible verses are from "International Children's Bible"  we are King James readers and my kids get a little confused by the different wordings.

I think this would be a great reference tool for all growing boys. This is a book that may not stay on the bookshelf.
I received this book free to review, as a member of BookSneeze.

"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" — C.F. Potter, signer of Humanist Manifesto 1930
