Review of Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids
Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids, written by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul, is a book that aims to inspire faith within the community. I had the opportunity to read this book, originally intended for both adults and children aged 10 and above. However, it has been specifically adapted for children, as evident from its title. The inclusion of illustrations further aids in capturing children's attention, enhancing their understanding of the content. To make it relatable for kids, the authors have given names like Emma and Bella to the characters, which I find praiseworthy as it fosters a connection with young readers. Overall, I appreciate the authors' efforts in nurturing faith among children through this captivating book.
In the book, readers are captivated by Emma's dreams about heaven and hell. When she shares these visions, her father compares them to the descriptions of heaven and hell found in the Bible. The details about hell are briefly mentioned in one chapter, suggesting that the authors chose not to explore the aspects in depth, possibly to avoid scaring readers. Additionally, the authors include a note to parents addressing how they can approach discussing these topics with their children.
Throughout the book, references are made to Emma's dreams and how they can be interpreted. It seems that these references were included with the aim of appealing to parents who read this book with their kids and curious children looking for insights into what's written in the Bible.
I was pleased to see the quality of the illustrations—soothing, joyful, and engaging for children's minds. The title of the book is well-illustrated to appeal to children, and the authors have used words that are easy for children to read. It is important to note that there is no profanity or vulgarity in the book. After all the biblical content, this book is equally appropriate for all religions. The overarching message conveyed through this book is to do good, do good, and stay away from evil.
There's nothing that I dislike about this book. It's professionally edited, and it's probably a book readers can finish in one sitting, but I suggest reading a chapter a day to learn what the Bible says. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars and highly recommend it as a bedtime read for children between the ages of 4 and 15.
