New Review!!! Illustrated Bible Dictionary for Kids!

Well, hello there!!!  I'm so glad you stopped by!  :)  I bet you'd like to get my posts delivered right to your inbox, now wouldn't you?  So why not sign up for Feedburner?  Check it out, it's right there in my sidebar!  Thanks!!  :)

About the product/service: As part of the TOS Homeschool Crew I received a free copy of The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary for Kids from Lifeway Christian Stores so that I could check it out and let you know what we think! 

While I'm at it, I thought I'd let you also know I checked out the website and Lifeway Christian Stores look like a great place to buy Christian resources.  You can shop online, or if you're lucky enough to have one in your area, you can shop in one of their stores.  They sell just about everything you can think of from books and DVDs, to church supplies and furniture!



Anyway, getting back to the book, it's a beautiful hardcover book with over 200 pages which explain over 700 Bible terms.  There are lots of photos, illustrations, and maps which make everything easier to understand.  The book is geared towards ages five to ten, but is valuable for anyone wanting to learn more about the Bible! 

What are the pros of this product?  This book has lots of color and is layed out so that it is very visually appealing.  Even though it is a dictionary, it has a bit of an encyclopedia feel to it.  With all the tables and illustrations and such, it's much more than a book with words and definitions.


What's not to like? I think the only thing not to like is the fact that it's marketed to young kids.  I think it should be marketed to families!  It's great for adults too!


The Crazy Mom take:  This is a fabulous resource.  It was kinda funny, because Sane Man usually don't get too involved in the products I review, but he happened to be home when the book came and he opened it up.  He must have spent an at least a half hour looking through the book!  He kept finding things and showing them to me!  Of course the kids enjoy thumbing through it too, and so do I!  A fabulous resource.  :)

Happy Bible Studying!!!

*The Smiley System:

I can't really recommend this product.

I doubt this product would be helpful to many people.

This is a good product, but isn't right for everyone.

Most homeschool moms will find this useful.

This is great, and I would recommend it to anyone!!!
