Big Topics for Little Kids: Tell Me about Faith

This is an incredible little book, thoughfully and carefully written and beautifully illustrated. As a military family, the metaphor of the separated family who still have faith in each other and hope to be reunited was very real to us, but I think the story has universal appeal. It's a good story by itself, but the scriptures at the beginning and end point to its real meaning, an explanation of faith. It's simple enough for a child to understand and complex enough to have adults thinking deeply about what faith means. The questions and answers at the back are very helpful, as are the suggestesd activities. My six-year-old liked this book (though "love" is his favorite of the set), and my husband, who is a chaplain, used it in a sermon yesterday! (originally posted on CBD 9/18/06)

I got one of the books from this series (Tell me About Eternity) and it was so amazing, I just had to get the other 2 books. This one (Tell Me About Faith) really does an excellent job explainging what it means to believe in Someone you can't see. The story is especially timely, since it deals with a little girl waiting for her daddy (a soldier) to come home from the war. The question and answer section in the back of the book is especially helpful to any adult who wants to have a deep discussion with a child about faith in God.
