"Training Young Hearts Board Books" Are Amazing!
These books check all the boxes:
1. They include the gospel of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior, who died for our redemption. (Albeit in a light manner for small children)
2 They include age-appropriate engaging writing and art, with questions, bright colors, and big faces.
3. The quality of the board books is good.
4. Scripture verses are included.
5. They are relatively concise yet substantial.
6. They provide tactile engagement through the lift-the-flaps.
7. They can reach children at a variety of levels.
Here's what I mean about the levels.
On one level, any child can learn that, for example, hands are for clapping. There's the added Christian affirmation that God created hands.
Next, the behavioral points about not using, for example, hands for hitting is also included.
As a bonus, Christian information about using feet to go tell the good news is included.
What's more, connections are made between the child and Jesus
Children can serve with their hands by bringing cookies to their parents. Similarly, Jesus might have used hushands to bring bread to His disiciples.
The gold star level is the gospel level. One of the lift-the-flaps is even in the shape of the cross.
The way the gospel is included in the various books is brilliant, natural, and creative.
I LOVE the seamless way Bible verses are included too!
My Messianic rabbi friend recommended these to me. I'm exceedingly grateful he did!These are must haves for churches, Christian libraries, etc.
Seriously, they combine numerous elements of books that are recommended on this website into one series.
Remember to check out new Theotots books too-like the Truth Readers, Elementary Faith books, and The Lord of Mars: A Christian Missions Adventure.
In Jesus,
