2.00 stars Good book but suitable for young children

 

While I understand based from the previous feedback response from the editor, the writer attempts to remain true to the gospel, but their are different ways to say the same message. I wish the writer would have said “the soldier worried he would get in trouble “.

5.00 stars Wonderful Book

 

This book is the story of Paul, Silas and the Phillipian jailer from Acts 16:16-40. Paul and Silas were wrongfully arrested, beaten and thrown into prison, but instead of being angry, they sang and praised the Lord.
God sent an earthquake to free them! The jailer knew he would be held responsible for any escaped prisoners and was about to kill himself, but Paul stopped him and the jailer asked Paul what he must do to be saved. The jailer and his family heard the gospel and decided to follow Jesus. This is such a powerful story and this book ...

3.00 stars We love these books, but have to reword this one.

 

We own almost all of the tales that tell the truth books and our 4 year old loves them. I was surprised at the language of suicide in this one and thought it was unnecessary. I agree, the jailers fear for his life is important but it could have been conveyed just as truthfully without the line “so he takes his sword to take his own life”. In most shops this is marketed to 3-6 year olds which I think is far too young for that kind of content.
