5 out of 5
Purchase: Reformation Heritage Books | Westminster | Amazon
Interested in learning about the lives and examples of early Christian believers in Church history? Since I first learned a little about church history and the Church leader Athanasius, I always thought his life was worth studying more in-depth for not just historical knowledge but encouragement as a Christian for today’s contemporary world. Now with this book written by Simonetta Carr both adults and children can learn about Athanasius and be edified! This book is part of the Christian Biographies for Young Readers Series and this is the first volume I read aloud to my three daughters. The book impressed me so much that I am thinking about purchasing more books from this series!

Need to start up again our Weekend Reading Review! To kick it off this year’s Reading Weekend Review this week we look at a Christian Children’s book for your family!
Tim Ladwig. Stories Jesus Told: The Story of the Two Builders. Grand Rapids, MI: Our Daily Bread Publishing, March 2nd, 2021. 32 pp.
5 out of 5
Purchase: Amazon
Want a children’s picture story book that you can read that capture Jesus’ teaching about the wise and foolish builder? Tim Ladwig has illustrated another excellent children’s book on Jesus’ parables for the ages of four through seven. I was delighted to see Ladwig has another volume out as part of his “Stories Jesus Told” series. Previously I have enjoyed three of the books he illustrated: The Lost Son Comes Home, Who Is My Neighbor? and Looking for the Lost Sheep. So when I saw he has a new book out titled The Story of the Two Builders I realized I need to read this to my kids! What’s amazing is my kids can identify his illustration style as the same as the previous books from him we read before!

Would you like a children’s book that touches on God’s omniscience? This book then might be worth your while. Author and artist Jan Sprivey Gilchrist presents us a book on how God is all knowing, and how that is relevant for young children. Gilchrist largely does that by drawing from our own childhood. I love that.
