My Heart Christ's Home Retold for Children

Good for all ages. This is a classic. My children love reading this and it ignites good questions for bedtime talks.

This booklet was perfect for using in our prayer room at church. We conducted a 4-day prayer vigil for students returning to school and had stations throughout the room offering opportunities of prayer for many age groups. "My Heart, Christ's Home: Retold for Children" was used on our salvation station which portrayed Jesus knocking on the door of our heart. It fit perfectly for a clear understanding by children of this process of receiving Jesus into their heart. We will probably order more copies for later uses.

I purchased this 5-pack of little booklets to give out to my clubbers in AWANA. We were studying the different Bible verses about the heart and how Christ needs to be "on the throne" in our hearts. The kids were having trouble understanding this concept, and I think that this book really helped them. They all seemed to enjoy the story and relate to the little boy who is the main character. This children's version is very good as a 'stand-alone' teaching tool for kids. I especially liked the notes for parents in the back of the book that help explain to kids all the different biblical concepts from the story -- and I was pleasantly surprised at how many concepts are taught!

The book is an excellent adaptation of the adult version. As a Christian educator, I have read this book to 3rd-8th graders. Each time the book has held their attention. Its analogy of our heart being like a house and how Jesus wants to transform each room in our house is done in a way children can understand. The book communicates some deep, complex Christian spiritual beliefs in an entertaining and simple manner for young readers.
