Review of Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul.]
The adventurous story Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids is written by the duo Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul. It is a book about a small girl named Emma, who has these wildest dreams where the angels take her away to heaven. She takes a grand tour of the place, with its golden streets, friendly animals, and Jesus himself. Well, it's not all rainbows. She must be shown the horrific side of the afterlife, too. It's like a bedtime story mixed with Sunday school lessons on themes for kids about the big guy upstairs.
Grand themes such as heaven and how important it is to live an obedient and faithful life are relayed through this book. The approach makes the concept of an afterlife less futile in children's eyes because they can basically put themselves in Emma's shoes and get a feel for the wonderful experience that heaven is. I also like the cleverness in the use of a child's dream to push the narration; it sort of frees the teller to carry the imagination so the young listener does not feel hammered with what's point-blank being conceptualized theologically.
I like that these storylines have the added value of modeling for a parent how to speak easily and in an open manner with children concerning faith and spirituality. This subliminally invites families to discuss more profound topics and to use this book more as a stepping stone for their own explorations of faith. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
I didn't dislike anything about the book. In fact, I love how it leaves me with the impression of accepting Jesus into my heart with a salvation prayer. The book really passes a great message to parents who want to have religious conversations with their children and instructs them with Christian values and principles pertaining to heaven and hell in such a way that a young child can easily understand the message. I recommend this book for parents and educators who want the kind of faith-based children's book that touches on big spiritual ideas in a very simple way that children can grasp.
I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars. Quite simply, it is well done for children, who basically face some crucial transformations in their nature of spirit. The point is that the whole theme of paradise and obedience central to the plot goes through Emma's dreams; it is quite a brilliant way to represent the material without frightening the little minds. It ignites imagination and serves as a light stepping stone into the teachings of Christianity. The book also serves to start conversations on faith, the afterlife, and holy living among parents and their children. I rate The Balance of Heaven with the Terrors of Hell as perfect and well-struck without the content being too graphic or too scary for children.
