Leading Little Ones to God

Really didn't work for us. The theology was the main problem for us. I felt it majored on the minors a bit too much for us. After 3 weeks, we ended up skipping it completely and just going straight for the Bible.

LOVE THIS BOOK! We worked through the book during Core 1 and turned right around and started it again over the summer as a family devotional. This book has sparked deep conversations with my three children (ages 7, 6, & 3) about God, their place in His plan, and what Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all about. It has deepened their understanding of Christianity and strengthened their faith. I agree that the ending prayers are awkward with the "thees" and "thous" but I just reword it as I read it--no biggie, and then each one of my children prays for their day. Beautiful moments have been born out of time spent in this book and the Word--moments I'll cherish. Definitely recommend this book for younger children as an explanation/foundation for their faith.

We all love this book. It's a wonderful resource for teaching your children and having family quiet times/worship.

I have been very impressed with this book. It has a great way of thoroughly teaching profound truths of the faith while speaking at the child's level. Not many resources succeed at this challenging task. I commend Sonlight for this pick.

A great "Bite size Theology" book for children. I plan to reread this every other year as a review of such important principles during these formative years. I highly recommend it to all parents-and it is easy enought to not say the "thee's and thou's" or make up your own prayer.

Our family has gone through Leading Little Ones to God two times and my 4 children have learned so much. I like the simplistic vocabulary yet the thought provoking subject matter. We have had many great discussions while reading this book.

I have gone through this book 3 times now, and it has been appropriate from age 3-9 (though by age 9 it starts to sound a little young for a child who has been raised in the church). Very good explanations for some pretty heavy duty theological concepts.

This didn't work for us, while it had good explainations of biblical concepts, I found it pretty dry and the prayers switch to using "Thee's" and "Thou's " when referencing God, I want to teach my children from a more relational perspective. This may be great for some families, it just wasn't what we needed.
