I am quite pleased to tell you my views of this fantastic book. My daughter is ten, and finding a Bible study for her age that is easy to use is quite challenging.  I had planned on starting a weekly Bible study with her in January, and this is the book that I will be using.  It has  loads of puzzles, games, fun facts, and much more.  It is interactive, and logical.  It actually teaches kids how to study the Bible and the basics of what Christians believe.  I know my daughter will look forward to doing this next month, and I feel like there is not much work that will be required on my part (except to lead her through it).   It is a workbook, and she will be  able  to write directly in it.  I am so glad that the author has created such an amazing book–definitely a 5-star rating!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all  opinions are 100 percent mine.
