The author covers different themes including, humility, faith, death, and society. This is a book that teaches on Christian faith and can be read by all age groups.

A lovely way to teach Children is engage them and capture their interests. This book seems to do that. The cover is eye-catching and it's content is equally interesting.

This book not only teaches children and adults about good morals, but it also gives good and interesting examples to go along with the teachings. The review gives a clear insight of what is entailed in the book. Makes me want to read it soon.

The plot is interesting and I am looking forward to be acquainted with the three swimmers named Eddie, Lenny and Ricky and the role of the old man. It seemed to be a lesson in life and when there is learning I am all for it. Congrats!

This is not really my type of book but it sounds like the author does a good job of making a relatable Christian book for kids. I like the idea of using swimming as a metaphor for faith. Thanks for the great review!

This seems like an awesome book to read. It's rich in principles and lesson for not just young readers but all readers. I know how competitive proud Eddie could be and I want to know what the old man told them. Nice review.

Faith in something or someone has to originate from love. I agree with the author to make children believe in Jesus. However, the soviety around them, the parents, teachers, neighbors, etc. have to channel Jesus in the day-to-day life activities as well. Congrats to the author for making #BOTD.

It's interesting that this book uses sports to depict faith, humility and death to children. I'm curious to see how this story flows.

I like how the cover art of the book seems playful, and I didn't expect that it would be about Christianity. Congratulations to the author for BOTD, and thanks to the official OBC reviewer for this insightful review.

This story sounds really educative. I like how the author uses a swimming competition and an invisible bridge to pass across his point. Does it take faith to cross the ocean...on the bridge? Can't wait to find out. Congrats on being the BOTD.

Using the character's personality to teach young people about faith in Christ, humility, death, and society makes the book practical and easier for them to understand. Who is the invisible bridge the old man is talked about? I would love to know about it too. Congrats on Botd.

While this may be a good book for extremely religious families, it is not for mine. My kids will make their decisions regarding their beliefs. But I will always encourage them to be good humans. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.
