Rating:  Summary: Since I was a child Review: I'm 34 years old. This book was given to me when I was 8. It served as the backstop against all of the angst, fear, anger and confusion of pre-pubescent existence. When "bobby" threw a rock at me, I turned to this book. When "jenny" didn't return my affection, I turned to this book. When "Joey" violated my trust, I turned to this book. Nothing can bridge the gap between the teachings of Jesus and the adolocent existence. My dear people, if you do anything for you youth, do buy this book. Give it to them. And let them use it as they will - with God's help. Surely, you will benefit.

Rating:  Summary: A wonderful book Review: My mother used to read a story from this book every night before bed from the copy that she had as a child. Now that I have a daughter, this is the first book I went looking for so I can share the same experience with her as I did with my mother. This book is wonderful on teaching lessons, exploring feelings and using stories to show the teachings of Christ in our daily lives. They also have questions to discuss with your child after the story plus many scriptures from the bible to read with them. I can't wait until my daughter is older so her and I can enjoy this book together.
Rating:  Summary: Engage Your Children During Family Devotions Review: This is a wonderful tool for parents who are trying to find a way to reach their children during family devotions. Each story begins with a theme Bible verse, and then presents a story involving children and their parents related to the Bible passage. Afterward, there is a series of questions so that you can discuss the story with your children. For older children there is an extended Bible reading listed. Finally there is a concluding prayer.Not only will this help involve your children in family devotions, but the questions also help to develop listening skills. These benefits flow into church on Sunday morning. I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to involve their children in family devotions.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful after all these years Review: This little jewel is a classic. It makes it easy for children up to about age 11 or so to learn moral truths to live by. We like to read it at supper time when the children first start to eat. It is quite at our table then and the reading is less likely to be interrupted. It is amazing to see them respond to the questions after the reading. Even our little 4 year old gets "the moral of the story." I am going to go broke buying this book for our friends.
Rating:  Summary: Little visits and More little visits with God Review: When my boys were young and My wife and I were newly born Christians, we purchased these two books. They were loved by our children more than anything else we provided for their Christian growth. Those two books have since disappeared from my library and I am so glad to have found one and I will keep looking for the other. I want them for my Grandchildren and friends. I want them for myself as well! I have never found another pair of books with a short story and devotional thought for each day that fits in so well with a childs everyday living and learning experience. Everyone can relate to each story. Excellent.
