About This Book

"This inspirational guide for kids ages eight to twelve is a marvel, showing them (and thier families) that it's easy to become God's partner on earth: figure out what God does in the Bible, then do it!"--Back cover.

Our Review

This thoughtful spiritual guide introduces children to the concept of imitating divine qualities through accessible biblical examples. Rather than presenting abstract theological concepts, it translates God's actions in scripture into practical behaviors children can understand and emulate. The approach makes complex ideas about divine partnership tangible for young readers, showing them how to recognize godly attributes in everyday life. This creates a bridge between ancient texts and modern moral development that families can explore together.

What distinguishes this volume is its active, participatory approach to spiritual growthโ€”children don't just learn about God, they learn how to act in godly ways. The book's strength lies in its concrete examples that transform abstract virtues into achievable actions, making character development feel both immediate and meaningful. Families seeking to nurture ethical awareness and religious identity will find this an invaluable resource for conversations about values and behavior. The result is a genuinely empowering perspective on spirituality that helps children see themselves as active participants in creating a better world.
