Book Reviews of A Little Girl After God's Own Heart: Learning God's Ways in My Early Days
Book Review: A Wonderfully Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is timeless, and beautifully illustrated! I purchased this book before my daughter was born 6 mos ago in hopes of giving it to her when she is able to understand it and appreciate it. The book offers, simply, the attributes that we should be teaching our little girls so that they grow into fine young women. This would also make a wonderful baby shower gift for the parent who knows the sex of their baby. (The boy version, by Jim George, is also available and makes a great gift.) Book Review: An uplifting source of inspiration for young female children.
Summary: 5 Stars
Written by Elizabeth George with paintings by Judy Luenebrink, A Little Girl After Gods Own Heart is a picturebook written especially for Christian little girls, listing positive qualities to strive for in one's heart. Love, Joy and Peace, Patience, Kindness and Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control are all extolled as precious virtues to cultivate in God's eyes, as revealed in quotes from holy scripture. The illustrations reveal the adoration and wonder of the artist, in this giftbook meant to be cherished as an uplifting source of inspiration for young female children.Book Review: Wonderfully girly way to teach character
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully illustrated and with all of the girly frills, A Little Girl After God's Own Heart is an attractive and sweet story that is sure to reach every little girl's heart. Characteristics of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control are the focus of the story.
Elizabeth George brings the meaning of those traits to life in a poetic form, and by using practical illustrations and catchy rhymes that a child can easily memorize. Short prayers are inserted where they fit and demonstrations of how to better handle situations are highlighted. For example: (on gentleness) "When things go wrong, take a step back--calm down, be thoughtful, and please, don't attack!" These are words of wisdom to live by. I recommend this book as an instruction guide for children as young as 18 months old, and up through about second grade. - Michelle Sutton, Christian Book Previews.com
