In continuing with our blog’s “wee-kids Wednesdays” here’s a review of a Christian Children’s book. This book just came out last week and its currently #1 in Amazon’s category of New Release for Children’s Bible study. At this moment it is relatively reasonable in its price too!
Harvest House Bible Inforgraphics Team. Bible Infographics for Kids Volume 2. Eugene, OR: Harvest House Publishers, May 7th 2019. 56 pp.

This is a fun and informative book for kids concerning the Bible published by Harvest House Publishers. I went through this book together with my kids at night and they enjoyed the pictures, graph and facts. The details include truths that are more like “fun facts” but at times there were some very good instruction concerning more weighty matters that was extremely helpful. The artwork is well done and really reinforce the content being taught. After reading this volume I’m considering getting volume 1 which is my vote of approval for this book.
The subtitle of the book reveals some of the contents covered in this book: Light and Dark, Heroes and Villains, and Mind-Blowing Bible Facts. In addition there’s also “Wonders of the Biblical world,” “Epic Battles of the Bible” and “Biblical Landmarks.” My favorite sections of the book was the discussion and infographics on the Trinity and Jesus’ incarnation. It was very biblical and also covered common pitfalls of analogies people try to use to describe the Trinity. Yet it did it in a manner that was easy (as much as possible) for kids to understand while being biblically solid. The proof of the humanity and divinity of Christ was also well laid out. I must also give props to the writers for covering also the topic of heaven and hell. Sometimes it seems kids book can be quite shallow in terms of being faithful to the Word of God so for a kids book to actually handle the topic of hell faithfully while also being conscious that kids are reading this book that is no small feat to pull off. Kudos to the publishers, writers and illustrator! Also I am glad that the book does share the Gospel as well.
Kids will enjoy the pictures and graphics. As a pastor I approve of the biblical content in being faithful to Scripture, historically accurate and accessible for any parents as a general reading audience to read and explain to their kids. Well done, and I hope there’s a future third volume in this series.

Thanks for the review and a hat tip to Harvest House who aren’t afraid to publish truth regarding spurious (c)hristian institutions.
Your steps are ahead of mine today! I’m at 1828 steps. Its raining here which is a rare thing so that impedes on me going outside for a walk while reading with a book which is my normal method of getting the steps in…I have this feeling you do the same of reading and walking?
I don’t read when I walk but I’m seriously considering some wireless ear buds now that I have an iPhone. Not all the time but it would be nice to listen to podcasts or music while I’m walking. I’d be tripping on the pavement if I were reading and walking at the same time!
Wow a children’s book that touch on Incarnation, Trinity and Hell? This must be special.
Must be. Sometimes I see bad theology in the library’s Christian books we try to get for our kids. I’ve never seen one book on the Trinity nor hell.
Thank you for this review, Jim. Blessings.
You’re welcome Frances. Thank you for reading this book review. My prayers tonight includes praying for you and Jerry.
Thank you, Jim. You are precious to us. Blessings for your week-end.
This is a really neat book, my girls loved reading this one ☺️. Thanks for sharing your review on this book SlimJim.
So glad to see that books like this are on the market!
I’m glad too! Any plans of making any of your comics into Amazon kindle books?
Sadly, “When Foxes Fly” and “Legends of Whoelterran” were made before I knew much about digital dimensions and resolution. I’m doing better with “Glymyre Tales” and I’m putting the graphic novel together as the webcomic advances. If I can ever find the original bmp’s of those earlier comics though, I’ll probably make graphic novels of “When Foxes Fly”. It was the most successful Christian comic done in anthro form that I know of. I give God all the glory for that, because I put those stories together on a wing and a prayer.
