[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul.]
Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids is a delightful book by Jemimah and Arvind Paul, specifically written for children. The story follows Emma, a little girl, as she discovers the fascinating world of heaven and hell. In my opinion, this book is an excellent tool for helping children visualize the descriptions of these places in the Bible and understand them better. The authors have done an excellent job of weaving together various Bible passages to provide a more comprehensive and relatable image for young readers.
One of the book's most significant themes is the importance of parental guidance and involvement in a child's life. Emma's parents guide her through her experiences and help her understand the meaning and message of each dream. This underscores the importance of family and the vital role that involved, present parents play in a child's life. The book suggests that it is best read with parents, Sunday school teachers, or other Christian adults to guide children into understanding its message and answer any questions they may have.
The writing style is simple and easy for children to follow, with child-like language for the children's conversations and a more mature tone for the adults' conversations. The book also adheres to the general editing conventions in Christian literature by capitalizing pronouns used to refer to God or Jesus. The editing is flawless, and no grammatical errors were spotted. The flow of the story is not interrupted by the Bible references, which are written as footnotes to maintain the story's continuity.
While the book is brilliant, I have a few reservations. First, the title could use some improvement. The word "snatched" has a negative connotation and does not align with the book's positive message. Additionally, the book's aesthetics could be better, as some pages have plain backgrounds, making them less visually appealing. Despite these reservations, I highly recommend this book to parents and other Christian adults as an excellent resource for initiating conversations about faith with children.
Overall, I rate Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids a 5/5. I think it is an amazing book. Great job Jemimah & Arvind Paul!
