Perfect Choice for Parents with Small Children!

I have a 6 year old son. My wife and I desired to teach him "Big Truths" but in a way that was interesting and fun. I began searching for books that would help us to do this. Finally, I found this book, "Big Truths for Little Kids". Perusing it at the store, I felt like it would fit the bill. But once I got it home and began reading it to my son, I knew it was the right choice! He loves hearing the stories in this book. The book uses short stories to teach kids biblical truths in a practical and insightful way for children. All of the stories have the same characters - Caleb, Cassie, Angus, Daniel, etc. After the first few stories, your child will know all the characters and relate to them. This makes the stories even better! My son looks forward to reading these stories with great anticipation. He thinks it's just fun, but all the while he is learning great spiritual truths that will help him grow into a man of honor and integrity. I cannot thank the authors enough for the wonderful service they have done by writing this book for children. Thank you!!!

Great for ages 5 to 11

A Presbyterian friend recommended Susan Hunt's books to me, a Baptist. Catechism is not in our vocabulary but I used this book very successfully for devotions with my children. They relate to the characters and the situations that occur in their lives. I highly recommend it.

Great for Sunday School

I used this book as the curriculum for a new Worship Skills/Catechism class we implemented last year at our church. The kids (grades 1-5) absolutely loved it! You would have thought they knew personally the kids in the book. It provided an avenue for our kids to discuss similar situations they had encountered in their own lives. And some of the theological discussions the catechism questions sparked were absolutely amazing. Whether you're looking for a family devotional or a basis for a church class, this is a great resource!

Wonderful!

Catechisms continue to be wonderful teaching tools, even if they have fallen out of use lately. Susan Hunt has given us a real treasure. This book really makes some solid teaching fun and engaging for the kids. I love this book.

One of my children's favorites!

These authors have done a great job of taking the truths from the Children's catechism and relating them in understandable stories that my children really relate to. It focuses on the God revealed in the Bible and helps children to understand who He is and how He relates to them personally. I highly recommend this book.
