I recently had the opportunity to review God's Promises for Girls through Thomas Nelson's Book Sneeze reviewer program. The book is comprised of inspirational Bible verses for various moods, for just about every aspect of a young girls life, and to bring comfort and understanding about the wonderful promises God makes to all of us for our salvation. For each grouping of scripture, a cute little inspirational message is included. Every section has an adorable illustration that goes along with the inspirational message.
The Bible verses in this book are taken from the International Children's Bible. The Bible verses from this translation are in modern English and will be easy for young readers to grasp. This translation is not Catholic, but I found nothing in this book that was contrary to Catholic teaching. If I had, I wouldn't have passed it on to my daughters.
My children, ages 8 1/2 and nearly 5, like this book. The youngest child likes looking at the adorable and very vibrant illustrations. Think modern Precious moments with bold colors. My 8 1/2 year old daughter read a few sections of the books and thought it was very nice. So I'd say it gets the little girl seal of approval.
This book would make a nice gift for a little girl. There's a dedication page in this book that makes it perfect for gift giving.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com <http://BookSneeze.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
