Review of Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids
Posted: 27 Mar 2023, 13:58
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul.]
Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids by Jemima Paul PhD and Arvind Paul is a children’s version of the book Snatched Up to Heaven by the same authors. Eight-year-old Emma lives with her mom, dad, six-year-old Bella, and baby sister. One night, she dreams that she is taken up to heaven. The dream continues for several nights. Where is Heaven? What is Heaven? Who lives in Heaven? Can anybody just go to Heaven?
The family dynamic is beautiful to behold. There is mutual respect between parents and children. Emma is able to freely tell her parents anything without fear of being dismissed or mocked. She tells them not just one dream but several dreams of Heaven. Meanwhile, her parents not only eagerly listen to her dreams but also answer any questions she has about Heaven. The parents take seriously their role as the primary educators in the faith formation of their children.
Every major religion has factions, and that includes Christianity. There are the traditionalists, the progressives, and the ones in between. It is worth mentioning that some Christians may not agree with the authors’ interpretation of certain Bible passages quoted in the book. This is by no means the fault of the authors. I for one do not find anything disagreeable or offensive in the book.
Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids deserves a 5 out of 5 stars. There are no spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors, and the wording is done beautifully. The story progresses smoothly and coherently. The magnificent artwork is eye catching, inviting, and endearing. It is obvious that the book was professionally edited.
The book is geared towards elementary children who are Christians. It is a good bedtime story for parents to tell, but it can also be used for Sunday school instructions by teachers. Although the subject of Heaven is one of profound depth and breadth, the authors are able to explain it in a manner that children will understand without watering anything down.
