I became a member of Booksneeze.com, where I get a free book to preview and write a review about. My first book is God’s Promises For Boys by Jack Countryman and Amy Parker. The book is broken down into seven sections of promises that are close to the hearts of little boys. Each of these sections is further broken down into two page topics that have a title, a catchy couplet, and three verses. Some of the topics my son got the most excited about were God Wants You To Wear Your Armor and God Wants You To Stay Strong. The front of the book has a gift page so you can mark giving the book to the special little boy in your life. The promise verses are all taken from the International Chiildren’s Bible, so they are easy for children to understand. That differs a bit from what we use in school, so the verses Isaac has memorized were different, but he really liked reading them in this version. The couplets are cute and easy for children to remember as well. I have been hearing the one about putting on your armor a lot around here!
All in all, we really liked the book as a quick topical Scripture guide. We loved the illustrations, and David really like finding the dog on every page. My only problem with the whole beginning of the Blogger Review experience was that my book was folded in half during transit, and it is a hard back. We have been trying to flatten out the cover by stacking heavy books on top, but it still is warped. The girls are wanting the girl version because Isaac has been enjoying this one so much!
