Heaven is for Real - For Kids!

Heaven is for real, and you are going to like it!

This is what “Heaven is for Real – For Kids” says about Colton Burpo’s experience when he came back from his trip to heaven and shares his experience with an important message for other children: Jesus really, really loves children. And they can learn about some of these big, deep spiritual truths in a simple, easy to understand way.

The book is beautifully illustrated by Wildon Ong who followed Colton's direction. Colton shares his first person experiences and the parts of his story touching on things that are of special importance to kids.

Heroes and Villains of the Bible

I just received and read one of Thomas Nelson Publishers new Bible books for kids, “Heroes and Villains of the Bible”. I like the way it is presented, a new and different format, choosing 50 well known Bible figures, presenting a short selection of Bible text to read, followed by a short lesson from the story and then sound bite to finish up. It highlights the choices that each of these people took in their lives, and encourages kids to do the same, to take a look at the choices they are faced with in the day to day and do their best and be like some of their Bible Heroes.
