Review of Let's Be One
Posted: 31 Jan 2024, 03:26
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Let's Be One" by Joan C. Benson and Marjorie Wingert.]
Let's Be One: God's Human Race by Joan C. Benson and Marjorie Wingert is a book that teaches fundamental concepts to young Christians. It explains how, although we are all different, we are created in God's image. Just as each part of the body has its function, and one cannot replace the other, each of us has a specific task, too. Our duty is to work as a team for the good of humanity, always remembering that only by sharing and loving everyone else can we say that we have realized God's plan for us.
I liked how the authors addressed these issues, making them clear and understandable even for the youngest readers. The book is short, and you read it quickly, but I suggest rereading it several times because only in this way can its profoundly Christian message of love and union be understood.
I also really appreciated that the authors underlined how each of us is important and that it is essential that we all work together for the good of humanity. This topic is very close to my heart, and I believe it is often underestimated. On the contrary, it is the key to creating a better world that conforms to God's will.
The book is well-edited; I only found one irrelevant typo while reading. Furthermore, I must say that the illustrations are very colorful and beautiful, and I liked looking at them. Overall, I do not think Let's Be One has any negative side.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it is a pleasant read, which will allow young readers to understand what God expects of them and help Christian parents and teachers with a valuable tool to guide their little ones' reflections. It is to these people that I recommend this book, with the hope that they can benefit from its teachings.
