"Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" is an account of Emma's visions of heaven and hell revealed to her out of God's mercy and grace. The account covers a whole lot of things, like what heaven and hell look like, Emma's encounter with biblical figures like Queen Esther and Noah, what God and Jesus look like and their estimated age, what the angels look like, and also addresses questions like whether light (electricity) is needed in heaven and if those in heaven do eat and sleep as we do here on earth.

This account highlights some hard truths. First, it shows the direct impact parental upbringing has on the children. I believe that the invaluable Christian and moral teachings Emma received from her parents may have marked her out to receive the favor of knowing what heaven and hell look like, and it was that zeal to love and know God that even prompted her to beg God to allow her to visit heaven again. Second, the atmosphere of love and freedom in the family enabled Emma to feel comfortable enough to share her dreams with her parents. Third, the unity and respect for individual opinions got the whole family together to listen and contribute to what they thought about each of Emma's visions.

I appreciated the biblical quotes Emma's parents referenced in this account; my soul was uplifted by the exact match of Emma's visions with those passages. The biblical quotes explaining the rainbow, light, streets of gold, golden house, gate, door, and rooms in Emma's visions were the most memorable for me. Emma's sister, Bella, was also active in all these. Furthermore, I found the illustrations very helpful, as they bring visual interpretation to the story and make it easier for kids to read the account.

This book was thoroughly edited. This is because I didn't find any grammatical errors in it. It is my pleasure to rate "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids," written by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul, five out of five stars for its concise, clear account of Emma's visions of heaven and hell and for the wonderful illustrations, editing, and biblical references to support each vision. I don't have any complaints to make. There is also no reason to remove any stars from the rating.

I recommend this book to Christian readers aged four to eleven. It will reassure them of God's redemptive provisions and prepare them to live a God-driven life, knowing that both heaven and hell are real and our conduct here on earth determines which one we end up in.

I found out that this is a children's book and would be better understood by Christians. Although I might not read this book anytime soon, I actually believe everything the review says. Good job.

Your review is very detailed and gives a good overview of what to expect in the book. I like the way you explained the parents' roles in the girls' lives.

I love that so much scripture was used. It added validity to everything Emma’s parents discussed with her. I also like that her parents didn’t have the answer to everything and would sometimes need to flip through scripture before giving their children the correct answer.

This book will definitely help Christian kids build their faith in God. It is great that the authors references some biblical texts and showed the importance of parental upbringing to the overall well-being of a child.
